"I don't think that any medication can be actually good for you especially one that is directly related to the brain."
What if it was related to the heart, etc.? What difference would it make if it improves our lives to the point where we can live normally.
"Sure, it definately helped me out, but I'm worried about the long term effects.(Physical ones and mentally ones)"
Mentally my memory and concentration has improved, still not back to normal but a definte improvement. Physically yes I too sweat, though I'm more tolerable of temperature changes.
I've suffered from heat strokes easily where other people probably wouldn't have even broke into a sweat, so physically this is an better for my body and brain.
Now I'm not saying that everyone who has a "sad" or "trying" moment in their lives should take an AD, but if their symptoms are impairing their ability to care for themselves, maintain a living, and have a social life, the ADs are not harming them physically or mentally.
Just one of my many opinions.
