Watch: Take Your Pills 2018 123movies, Full Movie Online – The pressure to achieve more, do more, and be more is part of being human – and in the age of Adderall and Ritalin, achieving that can be as close as the local pharmacy. No longer just “a cure for excitable kids,” prescription stimulants are in college classrooms, on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley…any place “the need to succeed” slams into “not enough hours in the day.” But there are costs. In the insightful Netflix documentary TAKE YOUR PILLS, award-winning documentarian Alison Klayman (Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry) focuses on the history, the facts, and the pervasiveness of cognitive-enhancement drugs in our amped-up era of late-stage-capitalism. Executive produced by Maria Shriver and Christina Schwarzenegger, TAKE YOUR PILLS examines what some view as a brave new world of limitless possibilities, and others see as a sped-up ride down a synaptic slippery slope, as these pills have become the defining drug of a generation..
Plot: In a hypercompetitive world, drugs like Adderall offer students, athletes, coders and others a way to do more — faster and better. But at what cost?

Don’t forget Technology Addiction is part of the equation
3/17/18. This documentary certainly goes a long way in shedding light on why there is a drug epidemic in the U.S. It tries to be even-handed in presenting the problem of substance abuse as a coping mechanism for people trying to deal with peer pressure to succeed and excel by leveling the playing field through the use of drugs. Not necessarily the best answer to life’s problems. One issue that wasn’t discussed, and probably should be, is the growing addictiveness of Technology. A growing number of studies are showing that excessive electronic use is affecting mental health and increasing distractions that compromises one’s ability to focus. Rather than learning how to overcome Technology addiction, young people are looking to drugs as the answer when all they need to do is learn how to manage their electronics.
A few good interviews do not make a cogent documentary
I’m not sure what the documentary creator had in mind when he made this film, but it was all over the map from a narrative standpoint. I’m not sure whether it was promoting the use of Adderall though the exaggeration of its use among college students and athletes, or questioning its effectiveness as evidenced by a study that concluded placebos to be just as effective making people think they were over performing. There were no clinical trials on the either negative or positive long term effects of these drugs on the human body, or any tangible evidence that brain altering chemicals have any place whatsoever in the evolution of human performance. If you make a documentary on such drugs, you explore all angles so that the audience has a clear understanding of the facts in order to make sensible conclusions.
