Hello, Adderall dependence can lead to physical symptoms like nausea vomiting, palpitations , headache.
*It can also lead to psychological symptoms like paranoia, anxiety and severe depression..
*On long term intake it has potential to cause convulsions, arrhythmia, malnutrition, tremors and muscle twitching..
And mainly Cardiovascular complications that may be severe..
*So, try to explain her all these complications that occur...and convince her not to take it further.
* These days it has become a trend for young people to take amphetamines for concentration purposes..but its not at all advisable..
So be careful.
