I find it fascinating how many things like this just completely gloss over the fact that some people have side-effects to these drugs that make them completely non-useable, and often it's some of the people who could most benefit.

I have ADHD, and have tried all the current generation of these drugs and absolutely CANNOT take them, they basically prevent my ADHD medication from working and I end up depressed and wanting to kill myself.

This idea of these drugs being a "cure-all" that we'll all just be taking one day proactively scares the shit out of me, because I worry it will mean that medical science will stall (as far as it relates to these types of conditions) for those of us who simply can't take these drugs.
