Adderall

I asked a question the other day about my daughter possibly abusing Vyvanse. Now my question is how does a 16 year old (or others of any age) abuse adderall? How exactly do they abuse adderall? How is it done? Im asking because I have high position that my daighter is not only "trying" to abuse her vyvanse but I think she also doing adderall and getting it off the streets (from friends she may know or known drug dealers). I can just see a big difference in her behavior. I also heard her talking to a friend on her cell phone (she did NOT know I was listening) about adderall in general. What forms do people use to abuse Adderall. Do they take to many? Do the crush them up and eat them? Do they crush them up and possibly snort them? Or are there other ways for my 16 year old daughter to abuse the medication that I am not aware of?

Adderall snorted is almost like cocaine.

Sometimes if i couldn't get coke I'd get some adderall. It's serious, it should be taken seriously. if she's crushing it up and snorting it then she's flooding the reward center of her brain with dopamine and noradrenaline. Seriously a set up to exacerbate ADD and induce depression. If you think she's abusing maybe you should try and get her to see a psychiatrist about it.

Hi
My daughter abused Adderall for months, then I tried it and started abusing it ... Its a picker upper. It helps you to motivate and do more then you normally would do. I don't know what Vyvanse is or what the generic for it is. I'll have to look it up.

Hi~

Yes,sometimes they're snorted. Well, A lot of times...Adderall is highly abused.

Count the pills in her prescription bottle to see if she's on schedule with them. Some kids sell them or give them away at school.  I know it's awful!! But,good for you for noticing the behavior change and keeping your eyes open!
