For me, historically drugs like this for ADHD or depression or gastric bypass or whatever tend to lose effectiveness over time as the body adjusts. Not for everyone but for enough where you've got a short term gain that ultimately compounds the original problem.

Medication can be a slippery slope into side effects and rotating dosages/medicines. Especially for behavioral medicines.

ADHD medications do not lose effectiveness over time. That's magnesium deficiency.
