Giving an addictive stimulant to food addicts

That'll work greeeeat.

Then again if I remember correctly, Vyvanse isn't something you can get a continual high from like traditional amphetamines. : I may be completely mis-renembering that.

You'll be happy to know it does work great.

Contrary to popular belief, giving stimulants significantly reduces the risks of addiction, alcoholism, substance abuse, etc.

You have to treat people, otherwise they try to get their dopamine sonewhere else. Whether that's binge eating, or worse.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

lisdexamfetamine is literally a stimulant.

Which has a sedative effect on a dopamine-craving brain of a person with ADHD. ;)

Also anxiolytic. And seeing as anxiety disorders are highly prevalent among people with ADHD, and untreated anxiety can really mess with your life, maybe people should stop stigmatising psychostimulants so much.

Those working environments already exist, but maybe you are not interested in them. People with ADHD are advised to do jobs that require one to be on their feet. Sitting behind a desk is unfortunately one of the worst things you can do if you cannot focus easily.
