Undergraduates, as well as high school SAT-takers, are increasingly turning to prescription stimulants like Ritalin (R) and Adderall (R) to boost concentration during long study sessions and all-nighters, according to drug abuse experts at the University of Florida, who cite a rise in the number of teen patients they see who openly admit to having conned unnecessary prescriptions from doctors.本科生，以及高中坐在人质，正日益转向处方像兴奋剂利他林（ r ）和adderall相关（ r ） ，以增加浓缩在长学习班，全夜，根据药物滥用专家在佛罗里达大学谁举一个数目的增加，青少年患者，他们看到那些公开承认拥有竟把不必要的处方医生。

Ten percent of college students use stimulants illegally at some point in their college years, a 2005 study by the University of Michigan Substance Abuse Research Center revealed, and many get them from friends who were legally prescribed the drugs.百分之十的大学生使用兴奋剂的非法在某一点，他们在大学几年， 2005年的研究是由美国密西根大学药物滥用研究中心发现，许多让他们从朋友合法处方药物。 And according to the federal government’s Drug Abuse Warning Network, the number of emergency room visits stemming from illicit use of pharmaceuticals jumped 20 percent between 2004 and 2005.根据联邦政府的药物滥用预警网络，有多少急诊室探访源于非法使用药品跃升百分之二十之间， 2004年和2005年。 Experts fear the trend is only growing worse.专家们担心的趋势是越来越多，只有更糟。

Drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition characterized by difficulty sustaining attention span, impulsive behavioral style and physical restlessness that looks like excessive energy.像药品和利他adderall是常用治疗多动症，条件特点难以维持注意跨度，冲动行为风格和躁动的身体看起来就像是过度的能源。 When used for ADHD at recommended doses, the medications heighten concentration and diminish impulsivity and hyperactivity.当用于多动症在推荐剂量下，药物浓度提高，减少冲动和多动。

“Most students who use their friend’s stimulants do it to improve performance,” said Scott Teitelbaum, M.D., medical director of the Florida Recovery Center at UF. "大多数学生利用自己的朋友做兴奋剂，以提高成绩， "斯科特说，信仰，医学，医学主任佛罗里达回收中心联合阵线。 “It’s like athletes taking steroids - the idea that you can study better, harder, longer, as if you were hitting a ball farther.” "这就像运动员服用类固醇-构思，你可以更好地学习，更难，更长，因为如果你打一个球更远" 。

But the pills won’t make up for a semester of slacking off, said Teitelbaum.但丸不会弥补一学期的放松过，杨说。

“When you look at the students that use illicit (stimulants), their performance at school is worse,” Teitelbaum said. "当你看看学生表示，使用非法（兴奋剂） ，其表现在学校更糟的是， "戴说。 “And that’s probably because the need to use the drug reflects them being behind, and needing to cram and catch up.” "这大概是因为需要使用药物反映他们背后，并须填满，并赶上" 。

Ritalin stimulates the central nervous system, but its effects can differ depending on whether a student has ADHD or not.利他能刺激中枢神经系统，但其效果不同，可以视乎学生是否有多动症与否。 In those without ADHD, at lower doses it can create feelings of alertness that fall somewhere between those produced by caffeine and cocaine.在那些未经多动症，在较低剂量就能产生感情机警属于介于生产的咖啡因和可卡因。 For those with classic ADHD, Ritalin can actually make them feel much calmer and more centered.对于多动症的典型，利他其实可以令他们感到非常平静和更为本。 “If you look at Ritalin structurally, it’s the closest relative to cocaine,” said Teitelbaum. "如果你看看利他结构，它的最亲密相对可卡因， "戴说。 “I think it depends on the dose one is taking, and why they’re taking it. "我认为这取决于剂量一正，以及为什么他们把它。 Some people take stimulants solely for the effect on concentration.有些人采取兴奋剂只对浓度。 Other people are taking it for the buzz.”其他人正在为喧嚣。 "

Pharmaceutical abuse is on the rise among teens, surpassing the combined rates of crack/cocaine, Ecstasy, heroin and methamphetamine abuse, according to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.药物滥用正在崛起的青少年当中，超过结合率裂纹/可卡因，摇头丸，海洛因和甲基苯丙胺的滥用，根据伙伴无毒合众国。 Experts predict the trend will continue because the pills are inexpensive and widely available.专家预测这种趋势将会持续下去，因为药丸都是廉价和普及。

“Unlike cocaine, you can get Ritalin very cheaply from your friends because all they need is their co-pay,” Teitelbaum said. "不像可卡因，你可以利他非常便宜，从你的朋友，因为他们所需要的是他们的共同付出， "戴说。 “There’s a great availability.” "有一个伟大的供货" 。

Some students will go to great lengths to trick physicians into writing prescriptions for Ritalin.有些学生将前往长篇大论诱骗到医师书写处方利他。

“There is no question that the modern student is smart, and smart enough to go to a doctor and to tell them exactly what the symptoms are of attention deficit disorder, to get stimulants,” Teitelbaum said. "毫无疑问，现代的学生是聪明，聪明到一个医生，并告诉他们确切的症状是多动症，让兴奋剂的， "戴说。 “There’s a group of people getting the prescription not to use it themselves, but to sell it.” "有一群人越来越处方不使用它自己，而是为了卖掉它" 。

In many states, sharing prescription pills is just as criminal as selling the drugs.在许多国家，分享丸处方只是作为刑事出售毒品。

“This means it will be the equivalent of a felony drug offense, with possible jail time depending on the student’s record and outcome of the person who consumed the drug,” said John Burke, president of the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators Inc. “Regardless, the students will have a felony criminal record, which will eliminate them from the possibility of obtaining certain jobs.” "这意味着将相当于一个重刑毒品罪，可能坐牢时间取决于学生的记录和结果的人，饮用药物，说： "约翰伯克，总统，国民公会药物引水调查公司。 "不管，学生将有重罪的犯罪记录，这将消除他们可能获得某些职位" 。

Although many students consider prescription pill popping a “safe” alternative to street drugs, experts warn that’s not always the case.虽然许多学生认为丸处方出现的"安全"另类街头毒品，专家警告说的情况并非总是如此。 Students who take the medication illegally often ingest higher doses than recommended, increasing the risk for neurological and heart-related symptoms.学生服用药物的非法往往摄取高剂量比推荐，增加风险为神经系统和心脏有关的症状。 Students without ADHD who abuse stimulants are also increasing their risk of drug addiction.学生多动症者滥用兴奋剂也在增加其风险吸毒。

“Part of the problem is that people aren’t taking it as prescribed,” Teitelbaum said. "问题的部分原因是，人们并不把它作为明， "戴说。 “Somebody might think if 10 milligrams keeps most people up, I need 20 or 30 or 40 to stay awake longer. "有人可能认为，如果10毫克不断多数人，我需要20或30岁或40岁保持清醒更长。 I need more because I need to study and I’m way behind.我需要更多的，因为我要学我的方法在后面。 They don’t understand the relationship between dose and effect.”他们不明白，与剂量的关系及作用。 "

Physicians try to prevent adverse reactions by screening patients for pre-existing conditions and keeping track of other drugs in their patients’ medicine cabinets.医师尝试，以防止不良反应的患者检查前现有条件和跟踪其他药物病人的医药箱。 But the potential for disaster increases when patients share their prescriptions with friends.但潜在灾害时，增加患者分享他们的处方与朋友。

“There are a lot of issues that are somewhat unknown to the person taking (the stimulants). "有很多问题，有些不明的人以（兴奋剂） 。 A higher dose might make them more likely to have an irregular heartbeat or get hyperthermia.高剂量可能使他们更可能有8-0或找透。 There could be another medicine that the person is on that could interact,” Teitelbaum said.可以有另一种药的人，是可以互动的， "戴说。

But the riskiest part about the prescription drug abuse sweeping college campuses?但最危险的部分是处方药物滥用清扫校园？

“You don’t always know what you’re getting when you buy a drug from somebody else,” Teitelbaum said. "你不能总是知道你越来越当你购买毒品来自别人， "戴说。 “You might think you’re getting one thing and you’re getting another.” "你可能会认为你得到了一件事，你又得到" 。

For teens and adults who really have the diagnosis of ADHD, prescription stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall can be a tremendous benefit when used correctly, and at proper doses have a very good safety record for patients with ADHD.  Students who are using Ritalin and Adderall illicitly without medical supervision are often unaware of the risks and dangers involved.青少年和成年人真的有诊断多动症，处方兴奋剂一样，利他和adderall可以是一个巨大的利益时，正确使用，并在适当的剂量有很好的安全记录患者的多动症。学生使用利他和非法adderall无医疗监督往往不知道危险。
