Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I am no doctor, but I am a creative.

In my search I didn’t find anything that says that it can stifle creativity. Supposedly, the drug is used to heighten ones awareness. It is most commonly prescribed to those with ADHD to reign in their focus. AS a creative, my mind is best used when it is set free, but with that said, we all work in different ways with our own creativity. So don’t fear that all of your juices will run dry.

If you have been prescribed this drug and you fear this problem, I would advise that you bring it up to your doctor and share your fears. This drug is prescribed in lower doses so, if it is a necessity that may be the way you want to go.

As with all drugs, know that there is a high rate of abuse and addiction. Be careful of that, or you may lose your creativity all together.

Be well, Be cool, Be you.

Yes, there seems to be some patients that have complained that Adderall does in fact stifle their creativity when taking this medication for ADHD. Some researchers claim that the drug may actually cause the user to expand the limits of their attention span.

Yet, many experts also believe that the patient may end up doing many trivial tasks that may not be connected to the one they must do like study or work on a project. However, here are some websites that may help you find out more about this controversy and the drug Adderall.

This way, you can make you can make your own informed decision about this medicine and whether it will affect your child in a positive or negative way. Also, talk to other parents about how the ADHD drug has affected their child while they were using it.
