By the way, if you're drinking more than 8 cups of coffee a day there's a good chance that you're self-medicating for ADHD and you should get checked out.
I keep drinking all this coffee and it just makes me sleepy
Same. So much coffee and it just doesn't keep me from getting sleepy/tired
That's kinda an adhd thing too. Cocaine just made me chill and destroy my high score in Snake. Stimulants affect us differently.
You'd probably like molly. I'm adhd and I get all chill but I still get the heightened sensory pleasure so it's like imagine the cosiest blanket you've ever had to touch. Asphalt is about twice as cosy. Now cuddling up in bed is perfect bliss.
Eh, for me molly felt like LSD without the visuals. I'd rather have LSD.
All the ADHDers know LSD > the rest of that shit. It takes way too much ecstasy to do fucking anything. Then again it takes a little more LSD too but 10 hours + visuals > 3 hours with maybe visuals for cheaper.
The taste of your teeth is always weird as fuck though. Those dumb times where you took some and miscalculated when you'd be tired/need to sleep but never could were always annoying too.
I love cocaine so much
Yep. Elvanse is basically amphetamine that gets released a bit more slowly over time. It gives me a somewhat not pessimistic outlook on the next task and allows me to concentrate on stuff because little deviations from the plan don't throw me into a loop of self hate and freezing in front of the task. That's about it. I've heard it does other things for neurotypical people.
Hi. I'm on Medicaid (thank you ACA, and thank you Republican governor for not being a complete shitheel like your compatriots in Kansas and Iowa). It's pretty great for everyday things, but one thing it doesn't cover? Psychological diagnostic testing. And my PCP doesn't recommend starting meds at my age (mid-forties).
So… coffee it is I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It might be worth paying out of pocket for a potential life altering diagnosis. Easier said than done depending on your personal finances.
There are also newer non-stimulant meds if age/heart health is an issue, and some off-label drugs that GP doctors can prescribe that could help as well (Wellbutrin comes to mind).
Good luck out there 🫡
Seems more and more like mental health issues are just made up and not worth paying attention to anyway, so this makes perfect sense from a Healthcare standpoint. Good to know the government is budgeting wisely. Probably no downstream benefits of my tax dollars going to other peoples mental health.

Risking downvotes there, friend, but I see what you did 😏
Still trying to figure out if the link between B12 deficiency and adhd holds any real merit. Cause if it does imma start eating that shit like you're not supposed to eat Tic-Tacs.
You shouldn't want to be deficient in B12 either way. Go do a blood test to see if you are, and then if yes, just take the recommended dose on the bottle of pills. They're usually wayyyy higher than the recommended daily intake anyway.
This is assuming that a blood test is affordable where you live.
Not a doctor, not medical advice.
