"In a recent interview with Terry Gross on NPR’s “Fresh Air,” comedian Hannah Einbinder talked about taking Adderall, the well-known stimulant medication often used to treat ADHD, when she was a teenager. The drug may have helped her pay more attention in math class, Einbinder said, but it made her “feel cut off from my soul," disconnected from her emotions and “quick to anger.” As she noted, in chemical terms Adderall and related ADHD medications are basically speed, only slightly different from street drugs such as methamphetamine.
