Get off my lawn
by Dayvan Cowboy ~ July 15th, 2008. Filed under: Immanence.@TechCrunch: “How Many Silicon Valley Startup Executives Are Hopped Up On Provigil?” even though “PROVIGIL’s only approved use in the U.S. is to treat narcolepsy“. Duh, shouldn’t they be on Ritalin for the improved goal-directed activity? I mean, in principle, Ritalin should be the drug of choice to turn a nerd into an executive. Pick the right illegally used legal drug, for the sake of the widow’s son!
But really, get off my lawn, kids. When I look at the backlog of antidepressants banned because of their recreative abuse, I fear for the meds I actually need for a condition (ADHD) that might not be recognized as a valid illness by the relevant pharmaceutical control authorities.
