    Why are doctors apposed to Adderall at all? It helps me tremendously, and I don’t have any downside to using it, yet it is painfully hard to get and maintain a prescription.

      Adderal is extremely addictive and can be very hard on the body.

      If you need it to be a functional adult, then it makes sense, but someone who otherwise would make do shouldn’t be taking it just because.

        I wouldn’t say “extremely addictive”. More like “easily abused”.
