What unintended ADHD medication were you taking before you realized?

Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.
Apparently videogames are a "medication" for my adhd because since i started adderol they don't "pull me in" like they used to.
I miss it a little bit, it's also kinda weird but its also nice to not be compelled to play like before
Videogames weren't a medication, they were just something you were drawn to.
Oh i absolutely use(d) games to calm my anxiety, "straighten out" my chaotic thoughts and silence the intrusive ideation.
It's like a soother, but it doesn't help the actual cause so not medication.
Ok
Your brain is dopamine deprived, video games are designed to get our dumb monkey brains to squeeze out all the happy juice. Adderall floods your brain with dopamine so the video games just don't hit like they used to.
