I think taking adderall in order just to study is a form of cheating.

Though part of me really wants to try it. People seem to get so much better grades when they take it and study.

I proud that I've never used it, but I do still wonder quite frequently.

i think it's psychological... they take it so they think they can focus better so they do focus better......... they dont get better grades because of adderall, they get better grades because they psych themselves into studying more because they have "help"
just what i think anyway. i've never taken it and still get good grades........

i just started taking it.. helped me with some of my exams, hindered me with others.

really, its not cheating. cheating is having an unfair advantage, and adderall doesn't give a person anymore than what they could by themselves-it may make you focus, or allow you to go on less sleep, but it doesn't just create some knowledge or abililty that wasn't there in the first place.

i only rely on it when i have to pull an all nighter, and i have to forego sleep. it's when you're most tired that you just can't focus, so i feel i need to rely on it. just my two cents.
