If he wasn’t getting prescribed medications at all, that’s not ok, and his lawyers should have led with that.
If there’s some nuance of the medication - either ongoing or emergent - that needs to be addressed, then it should be addressed by a medical professional. As far as I understand the situation around the request/medication that he’s making, lawyers should not be involved here, full stop.
“Bankman-Fried has been prescribed Adderall 10mg tablets, 3-4x/day to treat his ADHD”
“Their client has been doing his best to remain focused during the trial for the past two weeks, despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours.”
