I am no expert, but for exams and stuff I have taken adderall to help me study. My parents won’t let me get tested because when my brother took it he had bad side effects. I myself, did not know the proper dosage for me and took too much. This led to me abusing the drug. Which I became addicted to for a week or so but then I knowing recognized I was. So I isolated myself from the drug. If u take ur prescribed amount there is a lesser chance of you becoming addicted. Try to take it as a last resort, if u feel you actually need it. I know plenty of people who take it and are not addicted. They actually prefer not taking it sometimes. Hope this helps
