What the actual fuck.
If you are friendlier off amphetamine, either you don't have ADHD or you're taking way too much, dude.
If you have scattered thoughts on amphetamine, either you don't have ADHD or you're taking way too much, dude.

Comments like this makes me furious. Because of misdiagnosis, or inept psychiatrists, y'all keep making the life of actual people with correctly dosed ADHD medication hell with your abuse or repeating the same story that it makes you robotic and makes you jump of the wall.
I have been 35 years unmedicated, I am on the same dosage for a year, with routine 2 or 3 days long breaks. On days off, I am perhaps a little more lazy, but as scatter brained, as slow, as tired and as unmotivated as I have been my entire life.
When I am medicated, on the least effective dose, because that is how titration should work, my mind is silent. I am more attentive to people, more patient, there is space to think and to plan. When I am medicated, I go to bed proud of what I have accomplished today. This small thing has turned my bloody life and mental health the right side up.
Jesus, every time there is an ADHD post on this forum the misinformation and ignorance around a very well researched medication abounds. It has taken me 35 years to know there was a solution to the mismatch between what I thought I could do and what I did, because of posts like this, saying ADHD meds makes you scatter brained, it is very addictive, it is hard to quit, it is ineffective, etc.
