    A recent report highlights that many Wall Street bankers rely on stimulants such as Adderall and Vyvanse to manage the demands of their high-pressure jobs. Interviews conducted with over 50 current and former investment bankers across more than a dozen firms reveal that the use of these drugs is openly discussed and prevalent in the workplace. The report emphasizes the extreme work hours, with some bankers reportedly working over 100 hours a week, leading to a reliance on increasing doses of Adderall and other substances to maintain productivity. A medical professional noted that there is a limit to human productivity, indicating the strain these long hours place on workers.
