Neuroenhancers—the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
What if you were told that you could take a pill that would increase your productivity and help you remember more? Sound too good to be true? Well, some claim it can be done with neuroenhancers.
Neuroenhancers, like Adderall, Ritalin and Provigil, are medications prescribed to treat disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); however, many people, especially college students, have been taking these neuroenhancers to improve their grades. Neuroenhancers are highly debated: in their effects, how they are obtained and whether they give an unfair advantage.
What are neuroenhancers?
Adderall is one type of neuroenhancer that has been used for off-label purposes. According to Drugs.com, Adderall is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.” Off-label users have obtained Adderall through doctor shopping, friends and online pharmacies.

Margaret Talbot is completely UNcredible. Her boredatpenn.com is a bogus, non existant anonymously owned website proxy hidden by godaddy which BTW, does not work AT ALL.
It would be nice and MORE credible if editors requested PROOF OF LIFE from some of these supposed referring websites, before they are submitted.
