It always amuses me how ignorant people can get when they respond to questions other people have. In the instance where my simple question was if anyone knew of a study, and or information where they found Adderall causes brain damage I get garbage from someone who provides no proof to disprove my question and picks apart the details of my message which has no impact on my original question. After a long search i found the medical journal articles relating to what I wanted thanks to everyone that offered SUPPORT. And because Adderall and the Generic brand have NOT been sufficenlty tested to see if the results are the same I am on only Brand Adderall because the Generic caused intense facal ticks that wouldn't stop untill I switched back to the brand name.
Brain Res 1997 Aug 29;767(1):172-5"...methylphenidate, unlike amphetamine, lacks dopamine neurotoxic potential, and strongly suggest that dopamine efflux, although perhaps necessary, is not sufficient for the expression of amphetamine-induced dopamine neurotoxicity. (Amphetamines like Dexedrine and Adderall have the potential to cause nerve damage in the brain.)
