Well, that was certainly a shocker, but Hollywood has apparently been a beacon for misusing assured drugs meant for other things to lose weight - it’s a shock that that mecca of looks and size zeros would do that, I know, but apparently the latest drug that is being abused for the sake of increased energy and appetite suppression is Adderall, which in my opinion is a very dangerous drug to start with, much more so when it is not used for it’s intended purpose, which is for ADD and ADHD.

Adderall burst onto the scene several years ago now as a miracle drugs for kids with ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder, to help them focus and concentrate and help the kids that had hyperactivity and ADD to calm down and be able to concentrate in school.  Adderall is actually an amphetamine.  That’s right, it’s somewhat akin to methamphetamine, a street drug that is snorted and used as a speed and is extremely dangerous to the brain and kills brain cells not to mention ruins lives.

However, Adderall is claimed to be much safer when taken in the right dosages, for the prescribed reason (not as a dangerous appetite suppressant), which is ADD, and when it is not abused.  But the abuse of Adderall seems to be fairly prevalent.  Many doctors apparently notice that thin women will come in and desire Adderall specifically, and refuse other drugs for ADHD (the adult version of ADD), since they know that Adderall specifically is the drug that curbs their appetites well.

Apparently the Adderall phenomena is well known in the likes of Hollywood and the buzz begins around women who have lost lots of weight for no obvious reason that they may be taking Adderall to achieve that weight loss.  Adderall additionally has qualities that can induce euphoria which adds to its addictive nature, and certainly doesn’t help the fact that it is abused and misused for weight loss instead of for ADD.

I remember when Tom Cruise had his famous rant (part of his subsequent downfall) with Matt Lauer about how Adderall and Ritalin are essentally street drugs that are legal considering they are prescribed.  I feel poor considering I guess he was right and no one really listened.
