The most interesting thing I learned is that it works only if you have ADHD. For normal folks, it gives the illusion of it being useful with lout objectively improving anything.
If you don’t have ADHD and are using Adderall, you are hurting yourself and society.
- Xcelerate 3y ago> is that it works only if you have ADHD My understanding is that this is mostly a myth. Predictors of ADHD (and consider that a diagnosis can be highly inconsistent depending on the practitioner) don’t have a strong correlation with measures of productivity increase that compare treatment groups with/without Adderall.

We no longer live in the 90s.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoThe opposite of what I am saying is a popular meme like in the article we are discussing here.
