How do you get "often problematic" from one person's experience? People have different reactions to drugs, and "ADHD drugs" isn't even one particular drug or kind of drug, although stimulants are the most widely used kind of drug for treating ADHD.

Who said I’m just going off one person’s experience? That’s just the experience I mentioned above. But there have been numerous articles on this topic over the years IIRC.

You said it, at least it's the only source you referred to.

I see how it could have come off like that. I didn’t mean to make the point based solely on her experience, and I was perhaps a little too strident. But her experience is visceral for me and helps to drive the point home.
