it looks like nixos in a trash
Just read the docs…
Ok, I made myself laugh.
I thought exactly the same!
Who do you think prescribed me these drugs, stable genius?
“No you may not”
/thread
I really can’t take my medication as it kills my appetite and it’s shit at the best of times. Really don’t know what to do
Have you tried the non stimulants like Strattera or any other SNRIs?
Straterra is ok but made me feel anxious. Wellbutrin xl is actually decent. I suggest at least trying both for those like me that didn’t like the rollercoaster of typical ADHD meds and the bedroom side effects.
My dick issues come from the antidepressants, not the ADHD meds.
well at least this person suggests a doctor, some will reference a YouTube video where an influencer talks about gut supplements that will completely cure any mental health issues, cancer, diabetes and coronary heart diseases linked to genetic factors
Or paleo diets.
it’s da food colorin it is
Or paleo diets.
There is a tremendous amount of emerging research indicating a lot of brain dysfunction is rooted in insulin resistance. Which is a direct result of diet. I can’t speak for paleo, but if it’s a subset of keto, there is very promising research showing ketogenic diets increase available energy in the brain. By passing insulin resistance. Helping people with mental conditions.
Tell HR. Fuck 'em. No tolerance for ableism.
HR is the office cop.
NEVER talk to American cops.
My HR and I have a wordless dirty look relationship.
I’m not letting my coworkers discriminate against me.
And HR won’t let you be a liability for a lawsuit either. HR is there to protect the company, not you. If they see that you could be a threat in terms of “work discrimination” they will get rid of you first for other reasons so you won’t have the chance
What the fuck is this thought process? Document everything as it happens, then EEOC their ass for the obvious discrimination. Do not let people discriminate against you.
Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.
I’ve never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it’s usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.
“I would like to file a wrongful termination suit”
“We’ll need $50K for pre-trial, more if they won’t settle”
“Oh shit I thought lawsuits were free???”
“Common mistake, we get that all the time”
I guess we just make shit up now? The NLRB doesn’t have fees for reporting violations, and Pro-Bono lawyers charge a percent of the settlement not "more if they won’t settle. "
Yeah, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to go after for a minimum wage gig, but for a 150k career? Definitely. Don’t let “fear of HR” turn you into a door mat that tolerates a toxic work environment.
In my experience, fucking HR is worse than the gossip boxes.
Calm your shit dude. Don’t go to HR over something this small.
Just punch his dad in the cock.
I vote, seduce their mum, and bang the shit out of her! Then ask the coworker, who’s your daddy?
What part of prescribed adderall do u not understand?
Also, it should be pretty obvious they’ve got adhd if they’re not going batshit coocoo after taking it, they’re fucking amphetamines.
I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn’t feel anything. Is that a bad sign?
Could be, yes. People with ADHD respond to stimulants differently to how NTs do, it usually has a more calming/relaxing or focusing effect.
Scientifically, I think (based on all the huberman ep’s I’ve listened to) it’s cuz it makes up for our lack of dopamine receptors helping us perform tasks, and our minds act like a NT’s, and since an NT’s dopamine levels are normal it sends them into overdrive and makes them hella overstimulated.
Dats why when NT’s take addy recreationally it makes them go mental, cuz it’s basically a controlled version of speed. I don’t do blow but I know certain man with ADHD who have and they tell me it knocks them out, like a sleeping pill.
I so think I can help everyone focus to an extent, but for NT’s the side effects are usually not worth the trade off, whereas if you have ADHD, you may choose to take the side effects for the benefit of the medication.
In comparison to the benefits, it’s hard to even consider the side effects. All I get is that my appetite vanishes and I don’t require 12 hours of sleep per day. As long as i force myself to eat there are literally no negatives lol
“Oh this? It helps me focus on minding my own fucking business.”
I’ve had someone tell me with a straight face that I’m “basically taking meth”.
This is the same kind of person that says “American cheese slices are one molecule away from being plastic!”
I like to pour them a glass of peroxide and tell them to drink it. It’s basically water. Literally just a molecule away from being water bro. Drink it bro, cmon! It’s just a molecule!
It’s actually just one atom away!
Lmao I knew that and yet my brain decided “it’s a whole-ass molecule today!”
Since you didn’t specify hydrogen peroxide, technically FOOF is a peroxide. And FOOF is a molecule away from being water.
We do not talk about FOOF. Do not acknowledge it. It feeds on fear.
They do actually prescribe actual meth for adhd but it’s a different drug known as Desoxyn
Desoxyn is a brand name of methamphetamine hydrochloride. Literally the quintessential ADHD med.
It’s completely different than the street drug “meth”. The only similarity is the methyl-5 ingredient, which is a molecule that our body naturally synthesizes continuously.
“Have you tried [holistic bullshit]? It worked great for my [barely an acquaintance] who had [unrelated issues]!”
It’s such a shame how the word “holistic” has been co-opted by the woo-woo brigade. The concept it’s meant to represent, which is simply “the idea that the whole is more than merely the sum of its parts,” makes sense on its own, and is applied in legit medicine.
However, the word has been associated with snake oil so much that it’s hard to take it seriously anymore. I was in my mid-20s by the time I learned the actual meaning of the word; until then I assumed it was akin to “homeopathy” or some other garbage.
To riff on what you said, I think in the US 9/10 people think homeopathy refers to home remedies and traditional medicine. Because it seems like the word home is in there. I try to explain to people that homeopathy really is and their eyes glaze over like I’m telling them some conspiracy theory. I hate that shit so much.
It’s more fun when it’s your own mother trying to sell her MLM holistic bullshit. No mom, I don’t need your snake oil pills, I needed a therapist.
My mom: you don’t need therapy; all a therapist will do is tell you everything is your mom’s fault
(Spoiler: I did and they did and it was)
Acceptance of the ways my mom failed me is a step towards detachment from her and healthy processing of my traumas. [That’ll be $15,000 USD. Worth it at twice the price]
“You know, if you’re struggling with hearing comprehension that much, you should probably see a doctor and not talk bs.”
His ears are full of popped sorghum.
Prescribed is the key word here. How fucking stupid do you have to be to miss it? Person is probably a royal hater in all things.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to miss it?
D.A.R.E. and similar anti-drug propaganda of the 80s, plus the more naive naturalist movements of the 70s-00s, really pounded in the idea that any kind of medication is bad for you.
Curiously, however, you don’t see people chasing around the CEO of the company for taking heart pills.
Hope you liked that era since we’re going right back to it again
some people aren’t there for a conversation, but are just waiting for the right moment to say the thing they want to say to get the brain chemicals they reward themselves with once they say it.
get the brain chemicals they reward themselves
Damn. They should probably see a doctor about that and not take drugs.
Never tell people you take adderall. They’ll ask you for adderall to get high.
Especially in this day and age in the United States when the “health department” is trying to categorize these groups as subhuman if you’re autistic or have ADHD
I think I forgot to take my guanfacine last night…
I was on guanafacine forever, and it never helped. Does it do anything for you?
Chiming in here.
Guanfacine was a miracle for me. I couldn’t tolerate stimulants and while the initial fatigue was significant, my focus improved significantly and quickly. Not as suddenly or dramatically as a stimulant (which I was able to take after a couple of years of guanfacine, I was in bad shape at first).
I still take a small dose as an adjunct along with a stimulant.
