> (Also, Adderall is great for colds)

Do not go around saying this, even if it’s true. We’re experiencing a huge Adderall shortage, and the last thing we need is people who were on the fence deciding to get a Rx because it might help them with cold symptoms in the winter.

Well, I doubt many people are going to bother hoodwinking their doctors in order to get a prescription. It is a shame it can't just be sold over the counter though, as it really is the best cold medicine. It keeps your sinuses somewhat clear and gives you enough energy to get through the day.

It's probably a bad idea for anyone with a heart condition, in case anyone out there is getting a not-so-bright-idea.
