Fentanyl is prescribed

I went from taking Vyvanse 70mg to trialing Adderall XR 25mg, and I'm picking up 30mg tomorrow because my current dose was a step-down from Vyvanse

I take my medication in the morning, feel somewhat calmer after about an hour, then go about doing my work for the day without getting distracted by my thoughts racing or feeling craving to do more exciting things

I get zero motivation from Adderall, I don't get hyper, don't start talking fast, and don't twitch

People who stigmatize these medications and people who need them kinda suck

I was a straight-A pre-med college student for 3 years before getting prescribed stimulants

Long-term, all they do is help reinforce routines and make the decision to do what you should be doing slightly easier, as well as helping you stay on task for longer

I'm thinking about poppin addys. Would you recommend? I got s*** to do but i can't will myself to get it done

People with adhd are in the bottom 10 percentile of short term memory. I have no object permanence without adderall I can’t function.

I mean if you take them once in a while yeah you'll get hyperproductive but tolerance to that effect builds quickly since it's not the intended therapeutic effect

Facts

The day I was forced to use a lower dose of Vyvanse because my current dose had run out, I forgot my brand new phone at my new job and locked the door behind me because I was zoned out

I was the last person working and didn't have a key

Prob was making you anxious subconsciously

The feeling slow feeling tends to stem from that when I got it on Vyvanse

Pseudoscience is so fun

Vyvanse started to make me angry af and depressed smh

I mean hyperactivity is part of ADHD a lot of times tho, not for those who are just inattentive tho

I agree the name could be changed to something better maybe, idk what it would be tho

It is tho

I do this all the time

Who needs meds when I can just MEDITATE my illnesses away

I didn't say medication should be dismissed

Try headspace or calm app to start out

Or search the terms listed by blonded on YouTube. You’ll basically get the same result

No doubt about that… til you gotta up it to the max dose to feel productive.
We’ve already had one account of many itt saying that it didn’t work out for them in the long term. I don’t think it’s an end all be all. More of a short term fix to those who seriously need it

It’s not really sustainable for a lot of people

Calling something pseudo science doesn’t make it completely untrue

I’ve done trial periods of time where I avoid phone usage vs being glued to my phone and my ADHD is exacerbated with more phone usage. I imagine I’m not the only person like this

Not gonna say that’s the sole reason for ADHD, but outside forces can definitely make it worse. Denying that is crazy

If you have to ask

I can tell you’ve never given meditation a genuine try. Guarantee if you actually put effort into meditating every day for a couple minutes, you would feel somewhat calmer mentally. I’m not saying it’s a straight up cure. Medication can still have a place, but people need to be careful with it because it’s a slippery slope

Bro we get it

F*** off

hey don't you dare be your own doctor
