if you ask me, i think it's all survival strategies that do not seem in tune with their environment. so why not change the environment?

@lritter if i could find the right environment, I might not need adhd meds, but I've yet to find the circumstances in life that would allow for me to be the final word on what is the best use of my attention and energy on a given day much less be in command of my own sleep schedule. However, the meds are such a quality of life improvement that I take them even on my days off, because they allow me to make the most of the limited time that is afforded to me to follow my dreams.

@lritter and my personal history shows that if I did not have access to my meds, I would likely revert to abusing energy drinks and/or take up tobacco again.
