CNN Campbell Brown's report on Adderall

I cannot tell people enough to keep on ear open with their kids at all ages. Campbell Brown's report on Adderall is really worth checking on . Seven percent of the kids in college right now are using Adderall illegally. I am not sure what it is saying about our kids or the college environment, but the need to achieve or stress is causing kids to use Adderall (known to students as vitamin A) to make the grade is growing. One thing I noticed in the interview with a student, is he said since he had partied too much he had taken the drug. He also said he had taken the drug for the interview with Campbell Brown. If not under doctor's care, this drug is not harmless. First it is addictive. Second, if abused it can cause tremors, heart problems, or stroke.
