Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medications

Some medications have psychoactive (mind-altering) properties and, because of that, are sometimes abused—that is, taken for reasons or in ways or amounts not intended by a doctor, or taken by someone other than the person for whom they are prescribed. In fact, prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are, after marijuana (and alcohol), the most commonly abused substances by Americans 14 and older.

Los medicamentos con y sin prescripción médica

Algunos medicamentos tienen propiedades psicoactivas (que alteran la mente) y por esto hay personas que abusan de ellos. Esto quiere decir que los toman por alguna razón diferente o de manera y en cantidades diferentes a las que indicó el médico, o los toman cuando fueron recetados para otra persona. De hecho, después de la marihuana y el alcohol, los medicamentos con o sin prescripción médica son las sustancias que con más frecuencia abusan las personas que viven en los Estados Unidos de 14 años de edad y mayores.

Stimulant ADHD Medications - Methylphenidate and Amphetamines

Stimulant medications (e.g., methylphenidate and amphetamines) are often prescribed to treat individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more frequently displayed and more severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. This pattern of behavior usually becomes evident in the preschool or early elementary years, and the median age of onset of ADHD symptoms is 7 years.
