I appreciate your comment; medication saved me from tanking what has been a relatively successful career.

However, they bring up a reasonable question, which is that of conflicts-of-interest. I do not now, nor have a I ever, received any compensation from a current or historical manufacturer of medications targeting ADHD. I do not anticipate receiving any such compensation in the future. However, I am married to a physician. (Side note: she also has ADHD. One of the smartest people I've ever met, but nearly failed her first USMLE because she couldn't execute on review/studying prior to the test. Went on meds and passed the rest of her exams with scores right in the middle of the distribution. The meds don't make us super-human, they just let us be normal.)
