The Drugs Young Bankers Use to Get Through the Day—and Night Many on Wall Street see Adderall and Vyvanse as tools to plow through long hours of tedious work amid high-pressure competition The Drugs Young Bankers Use to Get Through the Day—and Night Many on Wall Street see Adderall and Vyvanse as tools to plow through long hours of tedious work amid high-pressure competition By Alexander Saeedy Dec. 14, 2024 9:00 pm ET As Mark Moran was facing another 90-hour week as an investment-banking intern at Credit Suisse in New York, he knew he needed help to survive the rest of the summer. His colleagues gave him a tip: Visit a Wall Street health clinic and tell the staff he had trouble focusing. Ahead of his first appointment, he filled out a five-minute questionnaire. One of the questions asked if he had trouble staying organized, another, if he procrastinated. He then met with a clinician who said his answers suggested he had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. He left with a prescription for Adderall. No matter that a family member, a psychologist, didn’t think Moran had ADHD. He found that when he took Adderall, he could keep working for hours, and was able to actually be interested in some of the mundane tasks required of a young investment banker, such as aligning corporate logos on a PowerPoint or formatting cells in Microsoft Excel. He also wanted to show his bosses he was a hard worker and eventually secure a lucrative full-time job offer after finishing graduate school. wsj.com
