They’re being downvoted because their statement is provably false.

…people with ADHD who take these medications as prescribed are lesslikely than their untreated counterparts to drink or abuse drugs.

Maybe its just me but i see no conflict on how both cant be true. “Less likely” == “not”

I’ve known more then a few people with adhd who snorted their prescription ritalin and abused multiple other drugs on top of it.

I hated what it did to me to much to get addicted, my experience was definitely that they made me go insane, quit cold turkey the day after my last exam, it took a long time and alot of therapy to feel somewhat like myself again.

That doesn’t take away that some people are absolutely helped by such medicine and do not experience the same side effects.

Everyone is different and the same counts for how we respond to any given drug.

Oh yeah, to be clear not everyone with ADHD responds well to every stimulant, or stimulants in general. It’s even more complicated if you have a co-morbid condition such as bipolar type II. They can make bipolar symptoms worse, and trigger a manic episodes.
