    i listened to some clips from this appearance. he sounded a bit subdued… like he’s been beaten and whipped, and hasn’t had his nap or his ‘pick-me-ups’ today.

      Stimulants and other drugs will only work for so long. Eventually, even bigger doses won’t help, and there might be a whipsplash effect at some point.

        Yeah, one of the differences between how stimulants work as a treatment for conditions like adhd vs as a pick me up is that. Tolerance is a minor annoyance when it’s there to mess with your neurochemistry, but as a “go drug” eventually you’ve gotta pay up. Nothing is free when it comes to using drugs to enhance beyond normal, and the further you go the more debt you accrue.
