Dr. Michael Breus

Because he wasn't taking an Ambien in the middle of the night, we didn't have to put him on Adderall XR.

We put him on Adderall regular.

Then it didn't have an effect with him needing more energy during the day.

So boom, we got rid of the Ritalin.

Literally within two weeks, we got him off of two of the four drugs.

Then slow taper on the drugs to eventually get him off while increasing his sleep deprivation and teaching him how to sleep.

He doesn't take anything now.

And here's the crazy part.

His staff called me up one day and they're like, what did you do to Dan?

I'm like, what do you mean?

They're like, he's so fucking productive.

We can't get a break any longer.

He used to be, he would go take a nap during the days and we could all hang out and do.

Now he's got us doing stuff day in and day out.

Dan's more productive now than he's ever been in his life.

And he's not taking any drugs to do it.

Yeah, well, now he's 80, but yeah.

Right, but that's what I'm telling you is, so there are times where you can get yourself in trouble with these medications, but sometimes they're relevant and they should be things that you should be taking.

Again, this is the relationship between you and your doctor.

You need to really sit down and think it through.
