| Roughly, zero. Stimulants are not a fun dependency, come with a bucket list of side effects and downsides, and only mitigate one aspect of ADHD. |

| ADHD treats with Lisdexamfetamine. Amfetamines, I repeat. People use this to study, to get high at parties, to be functional at work, so I really doubt there aren't patients out there abusing these drugs with valid prescriptions. |

| ▲ | gchamonlive a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | So it isn't roughly zero, and this minority is what's being discussed here. | | |
| ▲ | bbor 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You brought up people "high at parties", no one else is discussing that. | | | |
| ▲ | jplusequalt a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | No, but if you're trying to argue that sleep therapy would be more effective for this group than non-stimulant form of medication, you need to prove this. Sleepy therapy (CBT-I) may be the best supported treatment for insomnia, but it's still quite shit. ~50% of people will see little to no improvement after going through therapy. | | |
