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.
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.
My point wasn't that people shouldn't do what's right for them. It was that for many people these medications make a huge difference and without them they they might find themselves suffering from things like depression, anxiety, isolation, etc.
That's prob beyond you, tho.
Yeah you're right and that's great for them, but I'm not part of that group
Also, For many people these medications destroy their bodies and lives. The world isn't black and white
so, where i can read about how ritalin destroys the life and bodies of adhd patients?
Not when administered by a health care professional and properly monitored
healthline.com
i looked up ritalin on that side, and there was not a single article about ritalin destroying bodies and lifes.
