issues with staying on topic/focused

[Topgunben]

I can say with 100% certainty that Adderall helped me focus. Not sure if it made me smarter, but I think that's splitting hairs.

I guess I'd just like to know how it will affect me 30 years down the road if I do take it religiously. Will it give me short term success with long term problems? Or is it something where I can re-up my med every couple years and be just fine.

Is Adderall like steroids? Taken in small, regulated amounts under the right conditions, are the harmful aspects nominal? Man I wish there were more long term research on this stuff.

They been feeding kids Ritalin etc for 30 years+

There’s definitely research.
