I think it’s good to speak to a doctor because of the shortage. But there is such a significant difference in expectedl effectiveness that children aren’t required to start with the unscheduled version. For all the restrictions on these drugs, which are massive at the best of times, we still default to stimulants because they’re just that much more likely to work that much better.
People without adhd scare mongering about medication that for some of us is lifesaving (without Adderall I’d definitely have died of some preventable accident by now, and strattera was real bad for me) isn’t helpful.
I absolutely was not intending to scaremonger and I apologize if that was how you interpreted what I said. It was most certainly my fault.
It’s cool and I get why people who don’t need stimulants to function can be uncomfortable with them. It’s a really weird phenomenon. I don’t know of any other medication that does one thing for most people and the opposite for another group, much less when it primarily acts as a recreational and addictive drug for the first group and for the second it functions as a drug that we can forget we took until we notice that our symptoms are back in full force.
I won’t claim that I’ve never gotten withdrawal after having to go off my stimulants but I will say that I’ve never noticed it when compared to my adhd being back in full force.
