Not all pinched nerves hurt, and sometimes the brain "salivates" for pills.
Your brain is chemically dependent on adderrall (a type of amphetamine that acts on the dopamine "reward" system). Adderrall has become the "reward" and pain has become the "salivating" conditioned response in anticipation of the pill.
If you can find a copy of a documentary called "Generation Rx", you will find it very enlightening about the use of Adderrall.
