My friends and I dropped ADHD meds at an outdoor concert. They were having fun and having a good time and I sat down in the grass and replied to some school emails and did a handful of tasks that I have been putting off.

It was the first time in my life that I wasn't unintentionally listening to everyone's conversations at the exact same time and solutioning their problems all at the same time.

I ended up going to Mexico and going into a reputable doctor and purchased ADHD meds. I later in life went to a doctor and got diagnosed.

Wait wait wait. Is the hearing all the conversations around you an ADHD thing? Are you serious? I just thought it was like, an ability.

[-] pmc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

Medication gives me a smaller dog, but makes me feel very tired.

[-] yuri@pawb.social 3 points 1 hour ago

if you don’t mind my asking, which meds? i had a friend on a stimulant who described a similar experience to yours, so she switched to a non-stimulant (stratterra) and vastly preferred the effects.

deffo not trying to tell you how to live your life btw! i’ve just run into a lot of folks who for some reason or another have only ever tried like, one or two meds and just figured that’s as good as it gets. our brains can be so whacky different, sometimes it feels like a wonder that any one drug has similar effects on anybody, especially when adhd is in the mix lol

[-] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 10 points 3 hours ago

Ritalin made me feel miserable and paranoid

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

It was the opposite effect on me. Have you tried crescenta?

[-] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 36 minutes ago

Lol, are you recommending it because it's the opposite of what you were on?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours 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 10 points 2 hours 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

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago

I can add an unfortunate example in the opposite direction: I've been having trouble getting my prescription filled so I haven't had my meds for more than a month

My handwriting has deteriorated observably (my phone is actually having trouble recognizing my swipe-typing gestures, too) and my living space is in shambles. Fuck the DEA.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 49 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 minutes ago

Yeah yeah, but do I get to be a dog?

[-] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 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.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah that’s why I didn’t generalize my comment to all people

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 53 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 7 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”

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

The plural is just dildos

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 23 minutes ago

in jan misali's perfect spelling reform, dildoes is correct

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

i have changed the plural, pray i do not alter it further.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 hours ago

Is Dan Quayle available to weigh in?

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 hours ago

Dildii

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Dildopodes

[-] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago

dilduses, but pronounced like it’s greek

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

Dildopodes dildii sounds very scientifically probable when you know there are things like Amorphophallus fornicatus.

What a weird thread to meet in :D

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago

That was my favourite character in the Iliad!

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Dildoes seem right, dildoesn't it?

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

It dildoes

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago

Dildoeoeoes

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yep, depends on the length.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[-] Phantaminum@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

Me too!

[-] Shameless@lemmy.world 24 points 9 hours ago

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 🙂

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Atoxetmine gave me wicked mood swings on the come down. And also, sexually, when I came, it would feel muted. Like felt like a 1/2 cum.

This made my relationship with my wife waaaaay worse.

Ritalin is the only ADHD med that Taiwan has access to. The come down is less intense.

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 5 points 8 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 🥺

[-] And009@reddthat.com 4 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] python@programming.dev 96 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] jojo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Furry squared

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 12 hours ago

the furrier equation

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago

Furrier transform

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Mmmmmmm, furry TF, you say!

[-] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 4 points 8 hours ago

Furrier transfemation

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

You're just a very FOCUSED furry

[-] dabu@lemmy.world 23 points 10 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.

[-] aleats@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 9 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 12 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 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 4 hours ago

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

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 29 points 13 hours ago

I hope my kid gets to feel this way someday

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 29 points 12 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.
