Natural ways to wean yourself from psychoactive drugs and promote calm focus
Q : I’ve heard that Adderall is basically “speed.” I started taking it when I was 15 years old. Now I’m 27. I want off, but when I skip a day, I feel terrible.—Sheila J., Charlotte, N.C.
A: Yes, Adderall is speed. The name of the drug is based on the very potent neurotransmitter adrenaline, which has a synthetic version called epinephrine. You may have heard of EpiPens. They were in the news last year because the manufacturer raised the price from $75 to $900. Blatant price gouging like this is one of the many reasons to be suspicious of all the drug pushing that happens under the guise of medical standards of care.matcha powder
