Ritalin made me feel miserable and paranoid

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

WHAT?!

I need the ADHD meds now. GIMME!!!!! I WANNA BE DOG!!!

But seriously: I saw someone posting videos of their handwriting and organization and shit before and after Adderall and it was like seeing someone in real life taking the drug from Limitless. I need to try that shit because it might actually help.

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

I had the exact same reaction and i don't trust that sentiment, i think i'm just hoping for a singular miracle pill that i can take and it will solve all my issues.

Still thought it was worth a try but even getting an appointment with a psychologist of any kind was tough, so here i am still unmedicated even though i relate to a lot of ADD symptoms

This comic is cute, but I don’t want people to set the wrong expectations for adhd medication. For everyone across the board, it doesn’t work like a stimulant, as in make you faster, but quiets you down and allows you to focus. But you may still be tired or depressed. In short, it’s not a magic pill and you should reflect on the affect it has on you. Some people can take their meds and go to sleep, that’s one way to tell how it affects you.

[-] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

That’s not necessarily true. Myself, and several other people I know, have definitely experienced a boost from stimulants, just not in the same wired way neurotypical people get. Sometimes it feels like a weight off your shoulders that in a way almost feels stimulating. At the very least more talkative.

Meds will turn me into a furry? Ok i'm in.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 5 hours ago

Meds made me go from “I had confusing feelings about Tails and We’re Back: a Dinosaur Story when I was six” to “my ass is chock full of Bad Dragon dildoes”

Is Dan Quayle available to weigh in?

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Dildoes seem right, dildoesn't it?

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Yep, depends on the length.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 35 minutes ago

I’m gonna need some more “e”s and “o”s for a couple of mine

Vyvanse ended up making the dog way bigger on some days, I'm on atomoxetine and that's been way more manageable.

In case anyone has found themselves to be sensitive to stimulant medication, don't be afraid to ask about trying non-stimulants 🙂

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Non-stimulants? I am on extended release ritalin and it suuuuucks. Everything is the same as it used to be but now i feel like i am on speed for 5 minutes, an hour after i take it.

Everythings sucks 🥺

[-] aleats@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 hours ago

I wish tbh, been diagnosed for 3 years and still haven't found meds that work. I suppose that's inevitably part of it, but it sucks to just not be able to do things because my brain doesn't want to give me good chemicals.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 11 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Meds that I tried didn't help me. Fuck me I guess 🙃

To be fair I have not tried any new meds in many years, so I'm sure there's new ones I haven't tried, but I couldn't afford the appointments or medications anyway...

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

A lot of it is better delivery mechanisms for dextro-amphetamines.

[-] And009@reddthat.com 2 points 4 hours ago

Wow brilliant, this is one of the best explanation for ADHD ever

[-] dabu@lemmy.world 22 points 8 hours ago

I'm at my third type of medication and still no difference. At least I'm not absolutely drained as on first one but yet to see a positive impact. Yes, I'm diagnosed.

[-] python@programming.dev 84 points 10 hours ago

Adhd meds turn you into a Furry confirmed (although, what you you already were one beforehand? Does it cancel out?)

Mmmmmmm, furry TF, you say!

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 8 hours ago

fuck that's what i meant to write, i hate my brain

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago

You're just a very FOCUSED furry

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago

I hope my kid gets to feel this way someday

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 28 points 10 hours ago

If my kid ever feels like this, I am going to be angry, and have a LOT of questions. Mostly in a very pissed off tone.

.......I don't have kids, and the last time someone COULD HAVE potentially gotten pregnant from me and kept it secret would have been 2006. But I'm 99.9% sure I don't have kids.

So if I found out I have a kid, I would be confuuuuuuused.

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

would you… lose your mind?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

Steady on there, Genghis.

[-] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 hours ago

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago
