You asked:
"I wonder if the same effects are seen with Adderall and Ritalin."
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the effects are EXACTLY the same, but,,, reread the article, it says:
"On average, the addicts used an average of four grams a week and said they had been high on 19 of the 30 days before the study began."
A normal dose of Adderall (for an adult with ADHD) is 20 to a maximum of 60 mG per day. This is 0.02 to 0.06 G per day.
4 G/week = 0.57 G/day, from the usage indicated in the article.
So, this means if you take 10 to 30 times the NORMAL PRESCRIBED DOSE, you would quite likely see some damage.
This of it this way:
So you had a couple drinks last night?
What would have happened to you if you had TWENTY or THIRTY drinks last night?
