Are you addicted?

posted by admin

There was a college kid that was caught selling prescription drugs out of his dorm room in Delaware. What was interesting is that it was not the controlled substances like OxyContin , but rather the ADD drug called Adderal. This drug apparently helps to sharpen the senses if you are not actually in need of the drug. This brings to light the prescription drug addiction that face many Americans. Prescription drugs are safe and effective if taken as prescribed by your physician. It is when people try them for other reasons that you read about in the press.
