Hi,
I'm a staffer with MTV's award winning documentary TRUE LIFE.
For years Ritalin and Adderall has been prescribed for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. However more and more young people without illnesses are taking these stimulants for other reasons – from helping focus for an all-night study session to losing weight and getting high.
Do you take the pills just for the energy-boosting rush? Or have they helped turn your life around or are you trying to beat an addiction? True Life wants to explore all sides of the uses of these drugs. If you're between 18 and 26, please email us DIRECTLY at
ritalin@mtvstaff.com
and tell us your story.
