More to the point, I suspect your doctor would't prescribe Adderall to save YOUR life. That's certainly been my experience. They wouldn't think of prescribing something that could help but has risks, but they don't balk at all at condemning someone to a constricted and unfulfilling life that leaves them lonely and struggling to survive financially. That's somehow OK. That I've often contemplated suicide because of my frustrations is apparently not a concern. "Big deal, you end up dead. At least you won't be addicted to anything when you die. Isn't that better?"
