I feel that. Without caffeine and anger I would just be a sad, highly compressed ball of sadness and stress and sadness.
I left behind the anger about a decade ago and was just sad and tired and anxious until I got medicated about a year ago
I literally made a custom shirt that says “Fueled by caffeine and spite”.
This post is forgetting the alcohol
I’ve been on all kinds of medications from age 7 to 26.
Ritallin sped up my heart and I couldn’t keep up in gym class because I was constantly catching my breath.
Concerta/dexadrine took away my appetite. One bite every meal, then I was full. I was pathetically skinny and got called anorexic all the time.
Straterra made me tired and drousy all day, I was sexually frustrated because my dick would REFUSE to get hard, and then I would wake up at night, not being able to sleep.
I’m 31 and madication free for 6 years, and have learned to overcome my ADHD on my own. Never swallowing a other ADHD pill again, fuck that shit entirely.
I’ve been on Adderall and Vyvanse for ADHD and binge eating disorder.
The Vyvanse helps a ton with the binges. My doc had suggested I try Concerta if I’m having a hard time finding Vyvanse this month. I was able to find Vyvanse but I had no idea appetite suppression could be so much in the Concerta. Probably way easier than finding/taking any of those fashionable diet injectables. And generic Vyvanse still gets on backorder…
Maybe I’ll bring up trying that next time.
Do it, if you have a problem with binge eating it could do you wonders. I’m the opposite, even off meds I’ve always had a hard time gaining weight no matter how much I eat. It’s probably the beetus that will get me with how much junk I munch on every time I use cannabis lol. I’m 6’2 170lbs
why do you need to gain weight??? what you describe is a good functioning metabolism. only thing you can do is eat more protein and train to put on muscle, you will not gain fat until you purpoesfully break your metabolism.
Idk, maybe all the “you’re too skinny” “you’re anorexic” “you need a .milkshake” I’ve been hearing all my life.
But yeah muscle is the kind of weight I’ve tried to gain. In my early 20s I spent 6 days a week in thr gym for 6 months and only gained 15 lbs. I drank 4L of milk a day. I ate a breast of chicken every day. I took in as .any grams of protein per meal, as I weighed in lbs. I took mutant mass and farted it all out. It was exhausting. Then I started a new career, and life got too busy to keep at it, spending 2-3 hrs a day in traffic. It was just too much so I lost all that weight
You dont need to gain weight
That’s a first
How do you cope?
mountains of powerful cannabis and cheap coffee
Cope with what exactly?
Having to function in current society with ADHD I presume
Yeah, fuck life changing medication! White knuckle it like a true american.
Yeah, fuck life changing side effects! White knuckle it like a true american.
I wish I could get diagnosed
AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn’t work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I’d rather just work with what I’ve got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations
Same, also makes me shit myself
i use weed
I wish weed helped me but it makes me so much worse.
I so badly want to be medicated again. However I’ll require yet another diagnosis even though I have 3 throughout the years. Problem is, it’s too difficult for me to get all my ducks in a triangle to get the process moving
Anyways I hear meth works pretty much the same plus it’s easier to get so yeah imma check that out
Methamphetamine is literally used as a treatment for ADHD. It’s also fairly easy to get a hold of amphetamine on the darknet which is used in things like Adderall. It honestly isn’t that bad of an idea to try amphetamine or even methamphetamine if you actually know the correct dosage range. Recreational users would typically start at a higher dosage than someone looking for medicinal effects. Over time though medical users can end up on a similar dosage to a recreational user due to tolerance.
This isnt a good thing like you think it is
