    It’s interesting but maybe my original message was a bit vague. I shouldn’t say anything about my adderall experiences without clearly stating that it was my experience. I’ve never felt like the medicine had a hold on me. I moved to France 7 years ago and it’s not legal here, so I’ve used less potent alternatives without issue.

    My main point was that the desired outcome when I agreed to take the first prescription was focus and it certainly delivered that. For me, it delivered something that feels like a binary interpretation of what focus is. It’s on or off, and when it’s on it can’t be turned off. Which is very different from my interpretation of evolutionary focus which does a great job of filtering for distractions worth paying attention to.

    With that in mind, my indicator for usage being problematic would be if it were frequently taken without a clear need to get something done.
