      Why? They have gotten better and adults who have an actual baseline are way better equiped to make that decision. I don’t know a single ADHD kid in my era with me that liked the meth trip that was perscribed

        I am 45 and take 60mg of lisdexamfetamine every morning just to give me a baseline level of concentration to help me almost achieve as much as someone without ADHD. I have not “gotten better” and nor will I. The meds are not a cure, they’re essentially glasses for my concentration.

        Your anecdata fails against the science. At best, perhaps the ones you knew were the ones for whom it was not working and you just didn’t see the ones for whom it did.
