I mean, some of this is just individual style rather than intellectually thinking one is better or not. And my style is usually to listen as closely as I can to what the patient wants. That doesn't mean agree with them, but to... explain in as much detail as I can what I perceive the risks and the likelihood of those are and what I perceive the benefits to be.
For years, just statistically, I had many more people who were on non-stimulants than stimulants compared to the general ADHD population. And that's even accounting for, by many variables, I've always worked with a lot of people who are on disability from Medicare. I also worked with people who are on Medicaid in the cities.

insurance before Obamacare happened so I worked with not entirely but a skewed more dysfunctional more severely afflicted population which again you would think would be a better match for the more powerful drugs I'll jump back, but this actually is a situation where we have more powerful drugs.

So often when I treat people with depression, they'll try one or two or three antidepressants and say, well, give me something that's more powerful. And with depression, maybe we can put ketamine out of the picture. And I know this is a side issue, but all of our antidepressants seem to work equally well. We don't have potent antidepressants that got FDA approved.

It works in a certain range of likelihood. But with the stimulants, amphetamine-based products really are more powerful and more so than with depression or many of our other conditions where it's more a categorical, this will help or not, as long as you're above a threshold, there's a more linear relationship. If a little bit of Welbutrin helps a lot, it's likely to help more.

I mean, you might start getting more side effect issues and there may be good reasons to not keep going up. But there's a more linear dosage results relationship.

When you used that term, I was talking to Rob beforehand about running marathons. And when I ran the 100th anniversary of the Boston Marathon, they had some of the medical literature from the previous decades. And one of the Medical warnings was, you know, maybe you could do one or two marathons in your life, but don't do more than that because your heart will wear out.
