Adderall Risks Much More Than You Wanted to Know

I didn\u2019t realize how much of a psychiatrist\u2019s time was spent gatekeeping Adderall.

The human brain wasn\u2019t built for accounting or software engineering. A few lucky people can do these things ten hours a day, every day, with a smile. The rest of us start fidgeting and checking our cell phone somewhere around the thirty minute mark. I work near the financial district of a big city, so every day a new Senior Regional Manipulator Of Tiny Numbers comes in and tells me that his brain must be broken because he can\u2019t sit still and manipulate tiny numbers as much as he wants. How come this is so hard for him, when all of his colleagues can work so diligently?
