The doctor will prefer to give you not enough at first and then steadily increase the dose until it starts to help. I think Ritalin is the same stuff as Concerta, and for a while I was on 54mg of that. Nowadays I’m mostly down to 27mg daily, but on days where I know my attention will be taxed heavily, I can take 2 and go back up to 54, since I know I can handle it.
This isn’t a recreational drug where we need to take “T breaks” in order to have a stronger high when we start it again. It’s a prescription drug that has a prescribed daily dosage. Going off it has serious consequences. I skipped a week once years ago when I was at my family cottage and forgot my meds. By the end of that week I was so deeply depressed and lethargic I had no motivation to do anything. So yeah, the dependency is real, but the withdrawal symptoms are no joke either.
They still wouldn’t though. Think about it this way:
Amazon paid big bucks for the rights to make a lord of the rings show and did a shit job for the amount of money they spent.
The last season of GoT spent more than every other season and couldn’t touch the early seasons in terms of quality.
Money =/= good art
Might as well at least make it so the big spenders can’t hold the IP hostage.
FWIW I do actually think IP is a good idea but it should only last like 5 years tops. Maybe longer for industrial patents/inventions. This “Life of the author + X decades” stuff is horseshit.
Ah, okay. I wasn’t aware.
