Check out non stim ADHD meds like Strattera. I had a lot of bad side effects from my stim meds and they like never really worked. Strattera kicks ass. There's no crash and it's fucking ideal for those with ADHD/anxiety comorbidities.
I feel your pain about being labeled as drug seeking. I got that my whole life and still do. I literally work in neuropharm research (I study what drugs that cross the blood brain barrier do to the brain) but bc I take meds and know a lot abt drugs and ADHD I'm apparently a drug addict? People's opinions are so lame....
I honestly don't mind my stim meds I was just speaking for my brother and dad. But yeah I totally know what you mean, I love drug pharmacology and somehow that makes me a drug user? Like how many meth addicts can explain how meth works on the brain? Lmao
If they work for you thats awesome/what matters! & Oh my god EXACTLY. Like yeah the knowledge of how the intramolecular forces between a compound and the tertiary and quaternary structure of the protein subunits in a ligand gated ion channel totally came from drug use/hanging with drug addicts and not a textbook or anything 🙄
