Elon’s “extremely hardcore” toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.
"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company’s launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.
“Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company’s facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work.”
What a nightmare!

Where?! Where are they getting this Adderall without a prescription? If i could just be directed to the website so i can voice my outrage there
Honestly, my wife has such a difficult time getting her prescription filled right now, black market Adderall really annoys me.
I know there is a shortage at the moment, but I feel your pain for another reason. I am an addict in recovery with add and I will never be able to take medication because the minute I even try to talk about my issues it’s “drug seeking.” But people I know who need to take controlled substances like benzodiazapines who are not addicts in recovery? They’re still treated like drug addicts, even when they have nothing in their medical history that would suggest that, and they never ask for refills early etc.
The opioid crisis drove us so far in the opposite direction that people who truly need a drug can’t get it, and drugs can’t be prescribed for the issues they were literally invented to help.
Also, Stratera is a non-narcotic option. It didn’t seem to do much, but may be worth a try if she hasn’t tried it yet.
I’m so sorry for your situation and wish I had some helpful advice or insight. My only thought is the must be some therapist or clinician out there you could build a relationship with who could walk alongside you to help you get appropriate medication.
I’d not heard of Strattera, but looked it up and realized it wouldn’t be suitable for my wife. I appreciate the suggestion.
Has she tried pure dextro based ones? I feel like Adderall is so ubiquitous cuz people don’t realize there’s an even better lateral step up?
Yeah, I used Adderall like Kleenex, which was imprecise of me. She is technically taking dextroamphetamine mediation, which has been the most effective of the various medications she’s tried.
Gotcha ;) by technically, are you obliquely saying “vyvanse” or literally straight dex?
I think it’s a generic, but I know she’s cycled through a variety to find one that helps the most.
U didnt answer ? Why did u say technically? Is is straightup dextroamphetamine or are you implying its lisdexamfetamine --> ipso facto dextroamphetamine or whatever
Same. It’s frustrating that my legitimate prescription has to jump through so many hurdles and face skepticism because of its usefulness as a recreational drug (or occupational, I guess?).
Telegram? I have seen them on the drugs market channels I follow, but they are pretty rare.
