at this point shouldn't the NFL move Adderall from a 4 game PED suspension to one of the lesser suspensions for marijuana and the like? Everybody who gets suspended for PED's is just saying "oh I took adderall" because it doesn't sound as bad as saying you're on steroids. From what I hear Adderall is mostly a recreational drug anyways, right?

I have a script for Aderall and take it daily. If you have ADD and get a script for it there shouldn't be a suspension for taking it at all as it doesn't have to PED effect on someone who actually has ADD. With me it calms and makes it so my brain isn't bouncing all over the place.

I think NFL players are even allowed to take Adderall with a prescription. What's happening lately it seems, with Haden and Talib and now these 2 guys in Seattle, are that they're getting 4 game PED suspensions and then claiming "I took adderall but forgot to tell the league I had a prescription " as an excuse, to avoid anybody thinking they're on steroids.

There should be a simple solution if that's the case.....get proof you had a prescription at the time you were tested

Of course it's prolly like my dumbass friend who got a DUI while he had alcohol, weed, and adderall in his system, and since has done backflips to get an adderall prescription thinking that's gonna retroactively make it OK that he had adderall in his system at the time.

sounds like an Old Testament story tbhimho

I guess only because his stupid ass for whatever reason thinks he's a badass when he tells it and has no idea how much of a in idiot he looks like

So you're mentally weak?

I don't think it's working tbh.

It always seems to be DB's getting caught for this stuff. Wonder why?

Yeah, but players with legitimate ADD could switch to a different medication, like Concerta (which I use)...

I tried Concerta and it didn't do for me before going to Adderall. People with legitimate, severe ADD need an amphetamine.

[DPG21920]

legitimate severe ADD.

DPG is trying really hard to get my attention it seems.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yeah, they're definitely on something besides Adderall...NFL teams have too much clout not to be able to grease a doc for an Rx (or a retroactive one). One of those CB's was a CFLer for a few years, and you dont become an all-pro over night at that position without some help.

[JoeTait75]

imo Mono is right how this should be treated as a recreational drug more than a performance-enhancer. I know Haden took Adderall when he was partying in Vegas.

[mavs>spurs]

I think what dpg is trying to say is ADHD is a make believe condition tbh imho

It must be hard I said with your ADD

[DeadlyDynasty]

Fibromyalgia and Restless Leg Syndrome are also made-up diseases

[dirk4mvp]

What kind of condition is being a Bills fan?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Masochism

I know it's a real "disease" like alcoholism. It's just funny to hear guys talk about it like it's cancer. "My brain won't stop bouncing off the walls ". It's over diagnosed (only truly impacts about 4% of adults in the world) and if you have any will power and are not a child, you should be able to get by without the drugs.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I agree that ADD/ADHD is often over/misdiagnosed, especially in early childhood. Kids are naturally ADD--that's what makes them kids. If you start one out on amphetamines early in life then of course they'll be hooked and incapacitated w/o them. I used to get this so easily in college (scrip for 60 20mg pills) from a Doc in the box. I'd keep 10 for myself and make a killing off the remaining 50--especially around midterms and finals. You could bang out a 5 page paper in 30 minutes or study like it's nobody's business. They say you only use 3% of your brain or some , but it felt like you were using 100% on Adderall.

If John Hollinger had a method for calculating PER at any job (or class) then everybody's efficiency would go up exponentially while on addies.
