What is the difference between Crystal Meth and Adderrall/Riralin? Are they duplicate?
Why do doctors prescribe Adderrall/Ritalin if it is like crystal meth? If you take those medicines for ADD will you look resembling a crystal meth addict?
Answers:
LOL! They aren't indistinguishable. No you will not look like a crack head if you take them.
They're not the same. They hold different ingredients and humans have different reactions to them. ADD medication is similar because it's derived from the amphetamines that are found in crystal meth. Actually neither are pious for you but doctors still prescribe Ritalin all the time... did you know that just a few decades ago methamphetamine's were prescribed to cure everything from fatigue to headache? It's true. The drug was even given to soldiers in war time to minister to fight fatigue and increase alertness on the battlefield. I would say it's safe to expect that Ritalin will also be made evil in the future because of it's abuse potential and adverse effects.
"Methamphetamine is a potent crucial nervous system stimulant which affects neurochemical mechanisms responsible for regulating heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, appetite, attention, mood and responses associated beside alertness or alarm conditions. The acute physical effects of the drug closely resemble the physiological and psychological effects of an epinephrine-provoked fight-or-flight response, including increased heart rate and blood pressure, vasoconstriction (constriction of the arterial walls), bronchodilation, and hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar). Users experience an increase in focus, increased mental alertness, and the elimination of fatigue, as well as a lessening in appetite."
"Methylphenidate[1] (MPH) is the most commonly prescribed psychostimulant and is indicated in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and narcolepsy, although off-label uses include treating lethargy, depression, neural insult and podginess. In North America it is most commonly known as the brand name Ritalin, which is an instant-release racemic mixture, although a variety of brand name and formulations exist.[2] Methylphenidate is a potent central nervous system stimulant derived from amphetamine thought to exert its effect by enhancing dopaminergic transmission within the brain."

crystal meth is not like ritalin.
infact. it's nothing at all approaching Ritalin or Adderall.
Ritalin and Adderall have the opposite effects on people near ADD because of a chemical inbalance in the brain. It calms these people down and alows them to focus. For culture that do not suffer from ADD , yes it speeds you out.
Crystal Meth or methamphetamine has an isomer that is used to make azmah inhaler prescription or Ritalin. As in they are synthetic psychostimulants. but Crystal Meth has a highly addictive affect that habitually causes pshycosis and obsesive behavior. while ritalin stimulates different synopsis of the brain . more over- Meth is a highly addictive and very insecure drug. no good ever comes from it.

Your parents are right.
The widespread prescribing of Adderall and other amphetamine chemical cousins to young people is not science, and is not drug, it is sorcery for the pure sake of greed.
In the long run it adversely affects your physical health and mental health. It makes the heart work harder and promotes psychosis. When someone dies of a heart arrhythmia while on the drug the the Fourth Estate call it a "unknown heart defect". The heart is blamed as being defective as it could not handle the drug.
Some of the doctors know it is wrong and still do it, others believe everything they read surrounded by medical texts, but the texts are influenced by drug marketing.
The crystal meth from the streets has the added risk of sweet metal poisoning and other impurity risks. Source(s): retired pharmacist
Adderall and Ritalin are perscription drugs and are fine if used not abused. If you do not need the medication and take it the effects are similar to those of meth and cocaine. Meth is manufactured using deadly chemicals and will not give a hand a person with ADD/ADHD! If you take Adderall or Ritalin it will not be paid you look like a meth addict - you may lose weight though! Source(s): A couple years of one addicted to and abusing Ritalin (clean now ; ) mind you)
that combo is a false from anyone that think this....i cant stop laughing lol lol..
Um... right. I imagine this one is answered pretty thoroughly, but just in case: your step mother have no idea what she is talking about.
They're not the same. Ritalin and Adderall are not even the same. Structurally, Adderall is comparatively similar to methamphetamine. The only difference is that methamphetamine has a methyl group (─CH3) attached to the alpha carbon of the amphetamine (Adderall) molecule (the squiggly line surrounded by the source picture). Ritalin, on the other hand, is quite different than either of the previous two.
All three are stimulants, and adjectives three have the potential for abuse. Over-prescription is a real concern and the prescription drugs should individual be used after all other avenues have been exhausted.
EDIT: Adderall is not methamphetamine. But it IS a potent stimulant, and nearby is a risk of dependency. Source(s): Adderall (amphetamine):

LOL! They aren't impossible to tell apart. No you will not look like a crack head if you take them.
Adderall/Ritalin/Concerta are all stimulants, class II narcotics. They are addictive and potent. Crystal Meth is Class I Narcotic. Source(s): Pharmacist
