- the_only_law 4y agoOk and what does that have to do with the topic at hand? Or do you just like adding non-sequiturs?
- TylerE 4y agoWe pretty much are giving pharmaceutical grade meth out
- hirvi74 4y agoDosage, not the substance, makes poison. Do you refuse any and all pharmaceuticals, or are such substances only okay when you take them?
- _dain_ 4y agoAdderall is amphetamine, not methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is occasionally prescribed when front-line treatments fail. In any case, the dosage is far below what is used recreationally. ADHD patients rarely get addicted to medically-prescribed amphetamine, especially when it's the slow-release preparation.
- lghh 4y agoPlease stop stigmatizing adderall usage. Especially as a platitude. The stigma often prevents people who have ADHD from seeking things that alleviate it.

- jobs_throwaway 4y agowhat's unnatural about amphetamines?
- jat850 4y agoAmphetamines are synthetic, so maybe the reverse of that question is better? What is natural about amphetamines?
- hirvi74 4y agoYou're describing Adderall misuse and/or abuse and not Adderall's intended usage. That would be like damning steroids because some body builders misuse them to increase muscle mass regardless of the medical benefits when used in the appropriate contexts.

- v4dok 4y agoMaking ADHD a joke is hurting millions of people who really have an issue. Yes ADHD medication is reducing apetite, but let me tell you, its not always nice, especially if you want to gain weight
- TylerE 4y agoI was going on it for 20 years, I know
- zafka 4y agoWhen Adderall is used as prescribed long term - appetite suppression is greatly reduced. Where I work I have an N=2 sample that are != skinny by any stretch.
- jasonmp85 4y agoAmphetamines are great, I fail to see your point.

- drdeca 4y agoTo say that an outcome is "unidimensionally a good thing" does not imply that all interventions that have that outcome as part of their outcomes, are good interventions. (to say nothing as to the question of whether the outcome in question actually is unidimensionally a good thing)
- bdavis__ 4y agoI know that you are trying to make a point, but I think meth would be a viable treatment option for some people. Medically supervised and monitored. If you need to lose 100 lbs, it might be worth the other tradeoffs. For a short period of time.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI think surgically removing parts of your organs is more extreme frankly.
