No need for cynicism here. This meme accurately describes how it feels to be on ADHD medication. It is revolutionary and life-changing. Some people need it. Some people don't.

Some people will experience negative outcomes, and almost all users will experience some side effects.

It is a product that people pay money for and a meme should never be the deciding factor in whether you take it or not. It should always be a discussion between you and a qualified physician and you should always weigh the pros and cons before and during the treatment.

Imagine if the same memes were here promoting Hydrocodone and Oxycontin for pain relief, as I am sure they do on forums and social media for construction and factory workers.

Cynicism can often be useful to protect ones self and others.
