Adderall is a prescription medication that is usually given to adolescents who suffer from ADHD symptoms. When used properly, Adderall helps a person focus and concentrate. If used in excess, however, Adderall can lead to liver problems and an increased risk of heart trouble. Unfortunately, Adderall’s ability to speed up the metabolism has made it a very popular weight loss drug. 

One of the biggest problems with using Adderall as a weight loss pill is that it can be highly addictive. When used improperly, the medicine builds up in your system and causes you to suffer from uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. The withdrawal problems create a cycle that makes it very difficult to stop using the medicine because you need to continue use so that you don’t feel sick – but the longer you continue the use, the sicker you’ll feel when you try to stop. 

A recent ABC news report shows that Hollywood actresses have begun to use Adderall for weight loss, which makes it seem even more glamorous and safe to younger users. Doctors have seen a marked rise in Adderall related health issues among famous Hollywood actresses who have become addicted to the medication when using it to try to lose weight. It is important that people understand the potential health risks involved in abusing this powerful medication.
