Question for Professor Pill:
Is Adderall bad for your long-term health?
Adderall isn’t automatically “bad” for your long-term health—but it’s not something to experiment with either.
When used as prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider, it can be safe and effective for people who need it.
Misusing Adderall or taking it without a prescription can increase the risk of long-term health problems.
Always talk to your prescribing provider, doctor, or pharmacist if you have questions about how medications may affect your health.
