I, too, agree that was a very fitting response by Metric.
It's BS. Anytime I hear a drug *could be* addictive, I immediately think 'it must work'!
Of course, I'm very opinionated/biased after being traumatized when doctors let me have a 3 to 4 day long panic attack and no sleep for 4 days, while I almost completely lost my mind--because they wouldn't prescribe me 7 days' worth of Xanax while I awaited my PDoc appointment. If I hadn't been resourceful enough to go out and drink 2 whole bottles of wine to supress my nervous system, I would have had a complete breakdown and probably would have been given a chemical lobatamy at the mental hospital like they did to my sister. Instead, I remained half-drunk until the PDoc appt. and fully recovered due to self-medicating. Of course, that's now in my medical record, so I could be considered to be an alchohol abuser and *drug seeker* from that incident. lol
Maybe I'll ask for Provigil next time if the Adderall doesn't work out for me.
