Naps on stimulants hit
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Ditto for nicotine, caffeine, cocaine…
Normal people: "Oh I can't have coffee after 9, or I'll be up all night."
Me: downs 2 large cans of NOS right before bed, sleeping like a rock 5 minutes later
Is this an exclusively ADHD thing or does it apply to other neurological conditions as well? Coffee has absolutely no effect on me. I do have ASD, but that's not typically associated with the coffee thing.
ADHD and ASD have a lot of comorbidity. If you're positive you have one there's a high chance you've got the other.
Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.
Last time I did blow, it made me soooo hungry and sleepy. A few more bumps took care of the sleepy, but the first couple were roouuugh.
Yeah I’ve only done it once out of curiosity lol. 1st line did nothing so I tried another — same thing. Meanwhile I could see how elevated it made other people (was at a party). Eventually I got tired and fell asleep.
Fair hahaha. I like it well enough if I’m drinking. I thought I didn’t like it but the stuff I had in the past was absolute garbage. Now I have unlimited access to decently priced extremely pure stuff (I have purity tests and hooo boi does it check out) and doing a couple bumps definitely feels a way! It doesn’t make me get as gakked as my more neurotypical friends, but I like the numbness and dopamine.
The breakfast of champions.
I only have lucid dreams when sleeping on cocaine.
edit: i used to pinch myself to make sure i was dreaming. if the pinch didn't hurt I would have fun in my dreams
I did that with a slap in the face, but it did hurt in the dream. My way of finding out is reaching through a wall, works better for me
My tell is being able to continuously double jump and thus jankilly fly.
One is not like the other...
They are for some people with ADHD!
I meant...
- Nicotine: Not good to recommend it, but legal in most countries.
- Caffeine: Fine to recommend it, perfectly legal just about everywhere.
- Cocaine: 🚨
Oh. I just figured they were all stimulants. And also I'm an anarchist so my concern for someone taking illegal drugs is independent of their legality.
Nicotine (not cigarettes) actually has neuroprotective effects. It's also been shown to have positive cognitive effects on people with schizophrenia.
Imagine trying to party, and feeling perfectly normal, calm, and even tired, while everyone else is tripping balls.
What was your tell? Lol
At a music festival, actually able to listen to a complete song without my mind wandering... is this why people take stimulants?
We feel neurotypicalish with stims. But neuros feel wired, almost high, with them. We got the short stick in may ways, and the long stick in other, harder to find ways...
I didn't know that at the time, pre-diagnosis, but it's so obvious now.
Cocaine makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you having a good time, letting loose and getting relaxed with friends while enjoying a few beverages? Here, take this substance that will make you disturbingly sober. Everything is clear, level, and so very normal. Fun huh?
Making you sober is not the only thing it does.
Yeah it can also make you feel like a rail spike is being driven into your head...
The struggle is insanely real. If I take a nap now, no way will I sleep tonight.
Meth for your lunch nap. Quad espresso for your nighty nights.
Happened to me today. Took my methylphenidate, got yawny, took a little 1 hour nap which turned into 4 hours. It's 1 am now
Same thing with weed for me. I vape it and then I can actually sit down and finish a task, have a conversation without my mind wandering or go outside without anxiety. I do have the double whammy of AuDHD tho.
Which strain are you using?
For me it's a double edged sword. Sometimes I finally motivate myself to do some creative project I have been procrastinating, and other times I just get couchlocked or get munchies.
I know I cannot tolerate too much THC without balance with CBD, then I occasionally get the anxious ride. Too much CBD and it's pure relaxation, too much THC and my mind is racing on associative overdrive.
Wish I had a strain and dosage that would have a reliable "therapeutic" effect for focus and motivation.
I have my meds and it's great but I don't like being dependent on a highly controlled substance and regularly go visit some doctor, if I had weed that is close enough.. but I guess if it would exist, somebody would already push it as a treatment option already.
But I totally agree with being able to actually listen on weed. I listen attentively to my wife, or TV shows, or music. Life ist rushing by so fast, being fully immersed in the present for a while is a blessing.
CBD:THC 1:1 with the THC part being either hybrid or Indica (I prefer hybrid, YMMV)
I avoid sativa like the plague. It spikes my anxiety like nothing else
Nice, your "ratio" I also figured out as being a good baseline. Mixing down too THC-rich weed with pure CBD buds, and trying to grow hybrid / well balanced strains after I figured out that too much THC is the problem.
Just still looking for nice upper/downer strains, according to common wisdom is seems that different terpene concentrations affect the high. I'm kind of looking for a chill/wind down/muscle relaxation strain and one motivation/productivity strain. But maybe it's just bro science and it all does not matter to much, except for placebo effect, no idea.
It's called Big Purple Dragon. Hope you'll find your strain :]
Mine made me high, either too much or I’m not ADHD lol
Euphoria is a very common start up side effect of adderall that should go away after a few weeks. It's like antidepressant startup sideeffects except this one happens to be pleasant. It could have just been that.
Lasted years it actually kinda messed me up a lil. Should have realized it was wrong and stopped but I liked it too much

Seriously though. The first time I took adderall I went and took the best nap of my life.
