In , two children born on the moon and three kids from Earth try to survive after an accident on their space station leaves them stranded.
Identical twins Leni and Gina have secretly swapped lives since they were children. But their world is thrown into disarray when one sister goes missing. A journalist investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the Instagram-legendary heiress who stole the hearts -- and money -- of New York's social elite. Two astronomers go on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The response from a distracted world: Meh. This two-part special features comic Russell Howard's delayed-yet-delighted return to the stage and a look at his life during an unexpected lockdown.
A 19th-century family living in seclusion is visited by an evil being that feeds on fear. Anyone who thinks there might be more to the story — or anyone with ADHD who benefits from using these medications — will find little more than fear mongering and stigma.
Knowing Netflix as a commercial company that produces a lot of good documentaries itself, I invited them to take the comments at heart and to get in touch with us to tell theother side of the story and how much these meds helped us get our life back together. Somebody must have been sleeping on the job not to see that. So, give me, ADDitute or Jessica a call, and provide us with a platform to add some nuance! We still struggle with school, work, stress, etc. All the usual things we read about on ADDitude.
BUT without medication it would be so much worse. School was hell. Jobs were near impossible. I never even tried college. AdD and AdHD are real and give your loved ones a break. Learn about it and accept them and know that medications DO help — for kids and adults. The film addresses the increase in the use of prescription stimulants, particularly Adderall, by students, athletes, and competitive professionals in the worlds of finance and tech. Take Your Pills asks, according to its synopsis, "At what cost?
Well, for anyone without proper information on the drugs, the cost can be the same as any substance abused out of ignorance. Take Your Pills features a number of characters offering testimonials about their experiences with Adderall, and rather than providing evidence that such a controlled substance is bad in and of itself, they reveal themselves to be deluded, exceptional in their experiences or having had acted stupidly.
One of them, former NFL offensive lineman Eben Britton, tells a story of how he was suspended from the league for taking Ritalin when he ran out of Adderall, the latter for which he had a prescription and Therapeutic Use Exemption.
But because the two drugs are completely different one of them is an amphetamine stimulant, the other a methylphenidate stimulant , he failed his drug test. That was completely on him, and maybe his doctor for not explaining the difference to him. It has nothing to do with anything regarding the drugs themselves. Another character, a young artist who is angry about having been on Adderall growing up, keeps claiming the drug is basically the same as crystal meth, an assessment that doesn't line up with the available facts.
The film actually shows a diagram detailing the "only" chemical difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine, but it's coupled with an explanation from Dr. Carl Hart, chair of Columbia University's Department of Psychology, implying the only reason Adderall is the drug of choice rather than prescription methamphetamine is because of the stigma of illegal meth. Meanwhile, interviewed psychotherapist Elizabeth Jorgensen falsely states that Adderall is "a small dose of meth in a pill" and stresses that it has "the same exact effects" on the brain's neuroreceptor sites.
The latter may be sort of true, but it's also deceptively argued. You could say the same thing about the effects of exercise, to a degree. Here's the part where I explain my anger. I don't like to be so subjective in my criticism of films, but Take Your Pills hit me on a very personal matter. My entire life, I've been skeptical of pharmaceutical drugs to a point of great opposition. Then I became a father of a son with ADHD, which not only crippled his learning, but was also affecting others in his school and recreational activities.
Only after much convincing and research did I give in to the idea of medication. Even then, there was a trial and error process with the various prescription stimulants and doses, genetic testing to pinpoint the best combination of drugs and vitamins, and constant council with his pediatrician and teacher.
For my developing son, and for this diligent parent, the meds are necessary.
