This thread reminds me of people accusing Lance Armstrong of cheating b/c he was on anti cancer medication.

I thought you were going to say something about students pasting answer keys on their energy drinks...

I actually saw a report that discussed people taking specific medications, such as those for ADHD, to help them focus during long exams. Not sure it would work for everyone though... I would probably space out more.

In my opinion taking drugs that you do not know what the long term effect of them is, is simply nuts. Ambition is a good thing, but not if you later in life no longer have the capacity to enjoy it -what good is it then. If you want to take a pill to focus, I suggest a good multi-vitamin. Beyond that, see a good doctor. Just my thoughts - call me nuts. We all go through the stress and most of us made it with ADHD pills, wellbutrin and all that other stuff people seem to want to turn to today. Just put the time and work in and you'll be surprised.
