Do you think it is cheating to take adderall/vyvanse to vastly improve focus and memory to study and to take your (insert profession here) board?

Curious as to what others on this board think about this method of memory boosting for normal people. The drug was created originally for people with add/adhd.

yes

no

Personal ethics aside, it's quite dangerous. Adderall is extremely addictive and can cause personality changes, psychosis, seizures, liver problems and other neurological damage if used improperly or used on a brain without deficits it is designed to treat. It could actually hurt your chances and the lack of sleep could harm your limbic system, causing long and short-term memory dysfunction.

Yes, performance enhancing drugs are generally considered playing unfair.
