    Because people are addicted to stimulants. I say this as having been diagnosed by multiple doctors. I 110% have adhd. My mom, my brother and all the other family members that take a stimulant do not. Especially my brother. He just likes to go fast

      Maybe if stimulants were so addictive I wouldn’t forget to take my medication so often.

      Other stimulants though, like caffeine and nicotine, yeah for sure. I self-medicated with cigarettes and Mountain Dew for decades before going on Adderall.

      I wonder if there’s any outside pressure to go fast and not stop 🤔
