A member asked:

Is counterfeit adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) dangerous to use?

Dr. Edward Kuhnley answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

YES: Any "counterfeit" medication is dangerous. Take only legitimate medications prescribed by your prescriber from a legitimate pharmacy as they are subject to quality control & you know what you are getting. Take only as directed at the dose determined by your prescriber. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a contgrolled substance & it is illegal to take it without a prescription. This is for your safety.
