I'm not sure that's great advice. Adderall provides a temporary boost but it takes a lot out of you too. Kicking it becomes difficult because you don't think you can be productive or even intelligent without it. This account [1] of a person who got addicted in college and tried for years to kick it convinced me not to try it.

Please think twice before recommending or endorsing any kind of pharmaceutical product.

I didn't recommend taking Adderall. I'm against it unless it's a last resort where nothing else is working. I upvoted it because it literally is how so many students and workers in America keep moving. Not just that drug but many. So, it's worth being in a survey.

The natural follow-up is asking what kind of work they do or where in case one wants to avoid motivation for such a solution. ;)
