As a person who takes prescribed "amphetamines" (Ritalin) I can say that you're way off base with that statement.
Without it I'm forgetful and very cranky. Like find a T206 in the couch forgetful. Ok, maybe just a few modern inserts but you get the idea.
And cranky like yelling at someone for a minor screwup or telling a grocery bagger that if the retarded guy does the job better than he does he should just hang it up because there won't be much he can do. (I was a bit more harsh than that)
Yeah, if you need it you need it. I don't take anything medical lightly, hardly any painkillers at all, over the counter stuff included. Hey, that pain is telling me I've done something I shouldn't. If I mask it with tylenol I'll be likely to do some real damage to myself.
