Question: Is this somewhat safe to do with an adhd pill?
SO i got this adhd pill that I'm supposed to take (or add i forgot) and in the description it's supposed to help you stay focused and be a brain stimulant and all that and I was wondering if it was safe to let my friend use one of them just to see if it'd work with them. Like it won't kill them or anything if they use it once right?

Not recommended!

1) Though they are generally safe at prescribed doses, ADHD pills (usually stimulant medications - Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse, Adderall, Dexedrine, etc.) can have bad side effects, and they can interact with other medications.

2) They can be dangerous for people with undiagnosed heart conditions, certain psychiatric problems, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or other conditions.

3) Stimulants are generally Class II Controlled Substances (in the United States), and it is illegal to sell them or dispense them to someone without a prescription.

4) If your friend needs help focusing, suggest that s/he speak with parents, a school guidance counselor, or a doctor about the problems s/he is having. There can be many other things that can cause concentration problems besides ADHD, including medical conditions, poor working environment, stress, lack of sleep, etc. Your friend needs to find out and deal with whatever problems s/he may have, whether ADHD or otherwise.
