I would advise against taking adderall to help with studying unless you have a px. I actually do, and the drug has some different effects then some think. For myself, if I actually take more than normal I either feel so 'good' I dont want to study. Also, like most drugs, if I take it 3 days in a row on that third day I am extremely irratative. Any thing like a car driving only slightly faster than the speed limit would make me pissed. Oh, and the last thing, and this is pretty easily checked by playing tetris. When on the amphetitmines you feel like you score higher than you usually do (thus playing tetris, if you cover up the score on the screen, and guess what your points are at the end of the game when you are not on the pills you will be more accurate, when you are on them you will actually think you did better (but in actuality) you usually score a little less than normal. Again, these things all very from person to person, and some will benefit from the pills. Even having an Px, I need to very my dosages day to day. And never take it for the first time the day before having an exam, you wont like the results.
Hope this helps some people, I dont want to sound like a hipocrait since I take it myself, and if you really think you need it, might as well just see a psychiatrist, they are usually pretty quick to put you on a low dosage (legally) and see how your body reacts rather than starting on your own guessing how much to take (and how it interacts synergetically with other meds (even over the counter stuff) in ways you wouldnt think).
Wish everyone good luck on Law School. You all made it here, so the odds are if you are working hard enough to be even looking at these pages you can pass (even if not at the head of your class... but if you are taking drugs for that reason alone you really should see the school shrink, there is a big difference taking stuff like this to pass versus being better than anyone else). And yes my spelling is herendous, I was a neuroscience major undergrad and they dont teach us how to spell
