Answer by Catrina
there have been a few deaths in children taking adderall, but they all had undiagnosed heart conditions. Adderall is illegal everywhere except for the United States, but Ritalin isn’t. Just google adderall deaths and you’ll get results. I’ve been taking adderall since elementary school and it has been extremely helpful
