I am desperate for Pills to increase my marks.

Does anyone know what should be prescribed?
I am not interested in seeing a psychiatrist.

How do you go from a distinction average to high distinction?
Will this require long term usage?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I think I have an idea of what you mean.

I take it you're a student wanting to get better grades right?

Pill's probly ain't gonna help ya.

If you want to go from being an average student to a much much better one then it's going to require hard work.

Study. Read a lot. Read everything. If you really want to be better then you have to work for it. Even if you do get some meds, popping pills isn't going to increase your IQ alone. You'll still need to make an effort.

And it's my opinion that chemicals do bad things to the brain anyway. Skip the pills if you can and figure out how to do it without them.

Even if such pills existed, it would take a physician to prescribe them; and since they would be a psychoactive substance, the physician would likely refer you to a psychiatrist.

Good grades come through studying and learning the subject matter.

Study. Ask for tutoring. Study harder. Learn your lessons. Study some more.

There is no Golden Pill to knowledge.

I'm going to be honest and say that kind of attitude is unhealthy.

Which attitude?

The one expressed by BinkoChang or the one expressed by Dessie and me?

Pills can't make you smart, that's just a fact.

The only thing you could be referring to is amphetamines, such as Adderall. These are commonly abused by desperate student's in an attempt to do better. They don't make you smart, they allow you to stay awake for longer and maintain attention, hence their use in ADHD. You'd need to see a specialist to get these, they don't just give them out, they are serious drugs.

The withdrawl effects from these drugs can be huge. Have you ever seen someone who abuses amphetamines? (It's also a commonly used recreational drug). I wouldn't recommend it. I've seen friends who've stayed awake for days without eating, they honestly looked like they were losing their minds, and some of them practically did coming down from these things. It won't make you smarter, it's a short term fix that will not help anyone. These drugs are safe if you have a licenced doctor to oversee your treatment and make sure it's safe. Otherwise you're just another foolish drug abuser playing with death.

Good grades come from working hard, and studying better. /end thread

Pills dont help at all.

You could however try some natural boosters. Pills tend to be super concentrated sugar pills or some mumbo jumbo chemical mix. Your body really just needs fuel that is not sugar based to do the job.

In the morning:
Coffee
Orange juice (1 glass a day does do wonders believe it or not)

While studying:
Eat some fruit (apples, tangerines, pineapple...whatever you like)


Before the exam:
Coffee AND fruit.

Dont take caffeine pills either.. that stuff is horrible for you. 1 cup of regular coffee is more than enough.

BinkoChang. I agree with you. Hard work earns grades, not pills.

If you really need an energy boost, try Mana Potion. It's a concentrated energy drink with a shit-ton of vitamins and stuff in it that I don't even recognize. One of these 50mL bottles will get me pumped for a good 8 hours.

There is no such thing as a smart pill. Some people take amphetamines and receive a boost in energy which is then negated by subsequent crashes.

Work hard, write succinctly, use proper citations, follow assignment guidelines, and study.

Frankly I suspect, from your "can't I just pop a pill" attitude that you're just a lazy student looking for a quick fix because you think you deserve a better grade than you're (currently) worth.
