Question by grammapug: About the effects of amphetamines on a 15-year-old who has no diagnoses of ADD or ADHD.?
This young man of my acquaintance [I write for his mother, because his mother is incapacitated.] is taking amphetamines, provided by his father to help him focus better on homework. What are the possible harmful results to this young man from taking amphetamines when he has no disease calling for amphetamines? Is this safe? Is it legal? Is it child abuse? And if it is not safe…not legal…or if it is child abuse, what, if anything, can I do to call attention to the problem of this young man?,

Best answer:

Answer by me
Possible side effects : mood swings,depression,addiction,death,bad teeth,bad skin,mental illness…..However,it’s like anything else it’s fine in moderation.I used it for a few years then realised i didn’t actually want to do that anymore.Anyway,i wouldn’t advise it,tell him to try good old fashioned sleep at night that way he shouldn’t need stimulants for his homework.
