wait if a kid takes these drugs because they're prescribed them for ADHD the very first time they take them they're going to have a huge amplitude dopamine response or if an adult goes in and talks to their psychiatrist and says you know I'm having issues with focusing in their prescribed one of these meds for ADHD and they take it they're going to have a huge amplitude dopamine response isn't that going to set in motion all the same things that somebody who is using these drugs recreationally would have and indeed that's one of the reasons why a lot of psychiatrists will start with a very low dosage or the lowest possible dosage to see how somebody responds to that low dosage and then over time might or might not increase that dosage
