Which part? I agree that a lot of prescribed stimulant users are functional addicts. I also believe, as someone subscribed a stimulant for adhd who was productive beforehand, that patients and doctors know this and it is a calculated addiction.

The average methhead doesn’t take a micro dose just so they’re able to stay motivated and focused at work. If they did their wouldn’t be such a stigma. As an example the popular image of cocaine is a working man’s drug despite the fact it’s just as bad as meth when abused in large doses (induces psychosis, etc)

Well said, thanks for the explanation. Sorry for being so blunt. Your first paragraph is my position and experience as well.

I semi-frequently forget to take my second dose of Ritalin in the day. Though honestly it helps me a little because here I can’t fill a new prescription of it until the exact day I run out. Gives me a little bit of a buffer.
