Oxy and Adderall are being abused

[Guest guest]

A 2010 survey of approximately 95,000 college students by the American College

Health Association revealed that 15% of students admit to using prescription

drugs without a prescription.

The types of drugs most commonly abused and the percent of students using them

include:

* Pain killers – 9.3% (includes OxyContin and Vicodin)

* Stimulants – 7% (includes Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta)

* Sedatives – 4.5% (includes Xanax, Valium)

* Antidepressants – 3.2% (includes Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil)

For some students, the non-medical use of prescription drugs (especially pain

killers) leads to harder street drugs like heroin. With OxyContin costing up to

$60 per pill, a $10 dose of heroin is a cheaper alternative. By the time a

student begins using heroin, then end of his or her academic career is

inevitable and the odds of death by overdose substantially increased.
