They're using it for adaptive purposes.

They're using it to lead life better and in more balance by doing

the impulsive hyperactive component of ADHD, which is yet a whole other presentation.

But anyway, take good care of yourself.

Don't get pushed to the edge.

Don't try so hard.

I have a magnet on my refrigerator that has Mount Everest on it.

And it says, remember that all the corpses on Mount Everest were once a highly motivated person.

So it made me think about calming down a little bit.

It is always better to treat the cause of a symptom rather than merely suppress the symptom.

And so that's what other medications do is they suppress what's going on and actually impairing you more than a bit.

But the trade-off is worth it to most people.

And so that's why, again, going back to the tried and true ADHD medications that treat the cause.

And that's why you don't develop tolerance to treating the cause of ADHD.

They're not pushing your nervous system in any direction.

It's a return to your best functioning.

It's not an artificial state.

So, again, just a digression, because that's an important distinction.

Believe me, if I'd known just how tongue-twisting the name was going to be, I'd have searched for something else, anything else.

I did try other things.
