I have ADHD and I don’t take drugs. I find there is a lot of value in biofeedback and checklists and behavioural modifications.
Why would a non ADHD person want Adderall? What does it do?
Could a politically popular war on drug companies also have something to do with supply restrictions? Can’t figure out what any firm would want to get into the drug business nowadays. Things like ruinous lawsuits from druggies who can’t control their drug urges. Leftists trying to effectively revoke patents by price controls on patented drugs. Rising taxes on corporations.
People’s hearts pay a price for doing low level speed for years.
it makes me a little irritated when I see people running to the doctor for botox for wrinkles...
there are so many people suffering from contracture illnesses and paralysis that could benefit from botox more than people needing to try to stay perpetually young....it doesn't work anyway.
Big Pharma knows where their $$$ comes from.
It ain’t medicare, it’s the under 65 on medicare and mandated by governments medical coverages.

I take Ozempic for diabetes. And I have lost weight with it and my appetite is down since I started it. When I need a refill I have to call around to find a pharmacy that has it and when I find one I have to hop in the car and drive right over.
There must be a lot of gym rats in Florida. I take supplemental testosterone for hypogonadism, but there always seems to be a shortage down here in Pensacola.
I just became a pharmacy tech in Chicagoland, and we get calls all day every day for Adderall and Ozempic and similar medications. It’s awful.
Rather than take some responsibility for their behavior, people want a magic pill to lose weight, taking life-saving meds from others.
Same thing with Mounjaro, injectable med for diabetes, with side effect of weight loss, mostly related to appetite suppression. There’s a nationwide shortage, so all that is available is 2.5 mg dosage, which is not nearly as effective as the 5mg dose I’m supposed to take. Too bad that doctors weren’t so eager to prescribe ivermectin off label for covid, like they’re prescribing these diabetic drugs to overweight people who don’t even have diabetes. Without insurance, these meds are $1000 A month, so naturally drug reps are pushing it like crazy.
