Simulant meds for inattentive ADHD?
  • I choose to play life on hard mode. But when I discovered that I actually was playing that way back in the day, the psychiatrist and I experimented and titrated to Adderall XR. We tried Ritalin, and some other new SSRI at the time. Can't remember the dosage, not remembering is a feature of ADHD.

    During that time, I would take the weekends off, because I love how my brain works except it pisses of the SO, but, by doing so I was able to learn the difference between my chemical imbalance and work towards being mindful of neurotypical expectations.

    These days I'm able to function with espresso in the morning, I find some good south American beans, yoga and meditation. I also work on hard shit because it helps me get into flow. I find that the medicine reduces my ability to get lost in my hobby projects.

    I would definitely suggest being open to experimenting with meditation to figure out your ADD tendencies but also work with a therapist to work on cognitive ways to refocus, rebalance and be attentive. Basically learn mindfulness. Also learn to accept that some days are ADHD days.

    Good luck.

  • I apologize
  • "I have ADHD", is a reasonable explanation, if you have ADHD and are talking to a fellow ADHD, or a parent of said ADHD. But the NT's don't see it that way. In the NT world, there is an expectation of consideration.

    I know this in theory. But I'm impulsive. So guess what I have a trail of NT's that I have to start apologizing to from the moment I see them.

    This is sarcasm. Or is it. Being able to handle opposing truths about ideas comes easy as I have ADHD.

  • it's so nice to sing

    Even though the sound coming from my head is totally analog.

  • Maybe. But if they stop drilling for petroleum, I wonder where the electricity to make the solar panels and wind turbines will come from. Oh and the polymers and plastics used to make those things. While ue use the available electricity for charging our electric cars.
