		<description><![CDATA[Should you stop taking your Adderall or Vyvanse or Dexadrine now that you&#39;ve heard Dr. Tracy Ware&#39;s presentation about the potential dangers of amphetamines? Maybe yes. Maybe no.
I just got off the phone with a woman (let&#39;s call her &#34;Maggie&#34;) who recently started taking Vyvanse with great success. No side effects and improved attention, etc. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was actually a miracle/stroke of genius/blessing that I stopped taking my Adderall because it peeled back the covers to reveal a more basic issue that I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise. When Dr. Ware told me that  depression actually causes cell death in the brain (which is repairable, thank goodness) I suddenly understood why I’ve been struggling with even basic tasks (but embarrassed to admit it).]]></description>

Permanent brain damage?
	
Hmm. That&#39;s not what I wanted to hear about my Adderall prescription. But stimulant medication may be causing more problems than solving them, according to Dr. Tracy Ware, a board certified psychiatrist from Chapel Hill who was this month&#39;s guest speaker at the Adult ADHD Meetup group held at GardenSpirit.

&#160;
Last night&#39;s broadcast of 60 Minutes (CBS) confirmed my worst nightmares: that ADHD meds will become so popular they will be treated as &#34;brain candy&#34; instead of as a medical necessity for people with brains like ours.
College students agreed that pill popping is rampant on campus, especially with&#160; stimulants like Adderall [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ know it's heresy for an ADHD coach to say this, but I semi-agree with her. Study after study shows that addiction rates actually fall dramatically when ADHD meds are prescribed and administered appropriately (e.g. a drop from 81% drug abuse to 23% which is near the rate for the general population).

But when your ADD has kept you up all night and you have to go to work, it's awfully easy to pop an extra stimulant to wake up]]></description>

Wellbutrin XL 300 (Budeprion XL) works just fine for depression and many ADHD symptoms. But when some patients are switched to the generic formulation, they reported frightening symptoms: fast onset of severe depression and serious suicidal thoughts.]]></description>
