This is an incredibly fallacious line of reasoning. Just because something is prescribed to elementary schoolers does not mean that being pressured to take it in a different context does not qualify as "abuse".
Also, the comment references Provigil (also known as Modafinil) which I believe is usually only used by soldiers to stay awake for days at a time.
- mattdeboard 15y agoWho said anything about pressure? No one mentions pressure anywhere in that reddit posting. It is EXTREMELY easy to get ADHD prescriptions.
- drewblaisdell 15y agoThe user to linked said "expect pressure to do adderall" in the second sentence.
- mattdeboard 15y agoWhoops, you're right. I missed that. However I will definitely say there is pressure on parents to get their children "seen" for ADHD from schools. At least around here. I'm speaking from first-hand experience.
- nitrogen 15y agoAlso, the comment references Provigil (also known as Modafinil) which I believe is usually only used by soldiers to stay awake for days at a time. Two points: 1. Provigil is prescribed to civilians as well. 2. If it's good enough for soldiers, why not let everyone else take it too?
