Delaney is a college junior who was prescribed Adderall. She describes it as \"Rx gold\" that \"sews up\" your life. Her standpoint is that she needs it to hold her life together, she claims that other people had tutors in high school to prepare for the standardized tests, and her parents couldn't afford tutors so she resorted to Adderall. She says she uses it to give her a leg up in comparison to other students.
Rahiem is a high school student who was diagnosed with ADHD when he was very young. He was prescribed Adderall and forewarned of the effects if he did take his medication. His mother was mostly interviewed; she said she saw a noticeable improvement in his behavior when he takes his medication.
Blue Williams is an artist manager, who takes Adderall on occasion. He was diagnosed as a child with ADHD, but his mother did not let him take any medication as she wanted him to adapt to the world. Now as an adult he chooses to use medication on days where he has a lot going on. He states that in modern-day life, there are many distractions that come with technology, and young adults interpret these distractions to believe that they have ADHD, which then leads to their diagnosis and medication.
Matthew Piskorz and Lucas Siegel are the co-founders of Alternascript, a company that creates supplements. Their ideology is that if students are trying to get ahead by taking prescription drugs, then there should be legal supplements others can take to level the playing field.
Reviewing the documentary for Variety magazine, Owen Gleiberman calls the film \"urgent\" and \"eye-opening\".[4] Gleiberman writes that the connections made by the movie's thesis \"may strike some as too speculative for comfort\", but they can \"fire up your perceptions enough to burn through the cumulative effects of advertising\".[4] Justin Lowe, film critic for The Hollywood Reporter, writes that some of interviewees have interesting stories, but the \"talking-head experts\" and the animated and archived film sequences are sluggish.[5] He states that the film relies heavily on anecdote but is light on data and documentation, and fails to make its case.[5]
On this webpage are resources to help you dispose of unneeded medications in your home, seek treatment for a substance use disorder and learn more about the drug overdose epidemic in the United States.
These PSAs are meant to encourage participation in DEA's Take Back Day and to educate viewers about the importance of disposing of any unwanted, unused or expired prescription medications in your house.
This documentary movie looks at stimulants from a historical and societal perspective. It identifies the broad cross-section of individuals that takes stimulants, discovers their reasons and motivations for taking them, and then questions the ramifications of widespread stimulant use in our modern age.
When the documentary takes a critical stance of cognitive performance enhancers, it is calling out prescription stimulant medications. However, the OptiMind nootropic supplement contains caffeine, which is itself a stimulant.
I will admit, I was a bit worried though about the direction of the documentary. At first the documentary seems to romanticize the drug that closely resembles Meth, and it was a bit concerning. Talking with successful financial leaders, Hollywood agents, professional athletes, and high performing rich students, without much of an awareness of side effects. It focuses in on how these successful characters rely on the drug to make quick & clever judgement calls, never distracted from the task at hand. Story after story we were introduced to people who were able to gain a notable edge from their competition, just from this little pill. Later on the doc seems to focus on ADHD, its origins, and its patients. Finally we start to get an understanding of the detrimental effects stimulants can have. More particularly on those who take it as prescribed. What it seems to harp most on is the overprescribing of the drug by doctors, and the social pressures modern society can give, persuading those to use anything to get a leg up on their peers.
Your goal is to have your HIV medications work as much as they can, for as long as they can. HIV medications do not cure HIV or help prevent passing HIV to others. But it can help you reach the goal of becoming undetectable. People living with HIV who take HIV medicine as prescribed and get and keep an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to their HIV-negative sexual partners.
Adherence is when you take your medications exactly as prescribed. Research has shown that HIV medications work better if you stay on schedule at least 95% of the time. For instance, if you take pills twice a day, 95% adherence means missing no more than one dose every 10 days.
When HIV medications are not taken exactly as prescribed, the virus can become resistant to the drugs, which means they stop working. If that happens, your doctor may need to prescribe a different combination of HIV medications. Eventually, you could run out of treatments that work for you.
All HIV medications have possible side effects, but there are things you and your healthcare provider can do to help deal with some of them. Do not stop taking your medications without consulting your healthcare provider.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, because some of these can interfere with the effectiveness of certain HIV medications.
Friends, family, or a support group can help you stick with your regimen by reminding you to take your medications or by just being there when you need them. The Project of PHC has Case Managers and Nurse Care Managers that can assist you.
Lots of HIV+ patients are successfully taking their medications as their doctor tells them. And so can you. It is difficult, but this is a challenge you can work to overcome. Your healthcare provider can help you find ways to stick with your medications.

Keep a list of all your medications, including over-the-counter ones. Use a small notebook or a smartphone to track all changes. Meagher also suggests several apps featured on the tip sheet to help users manage their routine: MediSafe, Round Health and Mango Health.
Leave yourself notes to help you remember. Post-it Notes on your bathroom mirror or nightstand work great, Meagher says. You can also use a dry-erase board to keep track of pills you have taken, erasing reminders after each dose.
Keep a calendar to write down doses and when refills are due. If you're running low on a medication, contact your health care provider or pharmacist before it's gone. \"You can get refills on meds one week prior to running out,\" says Meagher, who also recommends using a mail order service to get a three-month supply of your medication.
\"If you're still missing doses of your medication, discuss ways to simplify your medication regimen,\" says Meagher. \"Talk to your health care provider about once-a-day or extended release medications.\"
Your employer may have a policy that requires you to report your prescribed medications to them. So check with your employer. If your job function has DOT-regulated medical standards (truck/bus driver, airline pilot, mariner), the DOT agency regulation may require you to report your prescribed medications to those who approved your medical qualifications.
As of January 1, 2018, prior to the MRO reporting your information to a third party you will have up to five days to have your prescribing physician contact the MRO. You are responsible for facilitating the contact between the MRO and your prescribing physician. Your prescribing physician should be willing to state to the MRO that you can safely perform your safety-sensitive functions while taking the medication(s), or consider changing your medication to one that does not make you medically unqualified or does not pose a significant safety risk.
