Date: July 21st, 2018 10:24 AM Author: Jet-lagged Temple To the contrary. If they were getting statistically significant results in a study with only 13 people, that means the effect size is huge. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4031582&forum_id=2#36470273) |
|
Date: July 21st, 2018 11:29 AM Author: sooty death wish That's not contrary to what I said. The neurocognitive shit is table 1 and 3: "The study had high power to detect large effects, and lower power to detect moderate to small effects. As such the likelihood of Type II error is greater for small to medium effects. Findings with small to medium effect sizes (identified in Table 1 and Table 3) will require larger sample sizes in future work." And they were only testing these people with either 30mg of adderall or a placebo, which is an absurd dose |

|
Date: July 21st, 2018 12:06 PM Author: Jet-lagged Temple if the study was large enough to detect the effect that the authors were trying to detect, i'm not sure it was a "shit study" in any relevant way.

|
Date: July 21st, 2018 5:14 PM Author: copper big property This line of thinking is seductive but wrong. Conditional on an underpowered study finding a statistically significant effect, that effect estimate is likely too large or in the wrong direction.

Date: July 21st, 2018 5:35 PM Author: Jet-lagged Temple Good point. Obviously a larger sample size gives you a lower-variance estimate of the true effect size (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4031582&forum_id=2#36472114) |

Date: July 21st, 2018 10:54 AM Author: onyx naked rehab I used it once or twice and it was terrible. The most notable effect was the amphetamine/anti-depressant/not hungry/can't sleep feeling. It's good if you want to get drunk and then study after if that's your thing.
Memory is #1 when studying ffs... the increased attention will not stop the bro from checking his phone, or xoxo, or youtube, or whatever. The increased attention aspect only comes, imho, from the anti-depressant quality. It causes the depression/ignominy inherent to studying to be repressed. But it does not make a bro smarter. |

For people diagnosed with ADHD, it can help pull things into focus, but for everyone else, it’s not doing any favors, short of a quick shot of energy to the central nervous system. And let’s be real — we already have coffee for that."

Date: July 21st, 2018 3:07 PM Author: adulterous stain Adderall is not neurotoxic. It is true that other amphetamines are but adderall is not, there is no real evidence of it being neurotoxic. It can cause certain issues with dopamine receptors in the brain given prolonged use, but the effect is temporary and wears off (sometimes this can take months though.)

Date: July 21st, 2018 3:21 PM Author: adulterous stain There is no evidence of neurotoxicity with adderall. You are likely talking about the dopamine issue but that is not an example of neurotoxicity because it does not create long term brain damage or mental problems. What does happen is that your body gets used to having its dopamine regulation system out of wack so it is not producing regular amounts of it without adderall. That is the source of both adderall tolerance and the tiredness/withdrawal effects once you stop taking it. Over time those problems in the brain fix themselves because your body's systems begin to get used to normality again .
Meth is not adderall, that is not how chemistry works. |

Date: July 21st, 2018 3:58 PM Author: adulterous stain I'll explain this slowly: you cannot determine the effect of adderall using studies done on specific forms of amphetamine because it is explicitly designed based on the mix you use of those salts. The max therapeutic dose of adderall cannot under any circumstances reach a neurotoxic mix of them. Does that help you? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4031582&forum_id=2#36471659) |

I'm fully open to the idea that long-term effects of addies tears holes in our brains, whatever, but it has to be better evidence than this. If you read the paper it's not nearly as detrimental as you seem to think - if anything believing the results here affirms that adderall should be taken on occasion to improve performance on time-sensitive testing / projects etc. |
