> Dont write off your self medication as non-trivial. It gave you the space to gain the coping skills you needed and this is a clinically observed effect in classic ADHD patients, not jusy people who think theynhave ADHD.
mmmmm yes I concur, this is also definitely a thing, medication helped me gain coping skills as well, my experience definitely wasn't just a case of "take a shitton of amphetamines and lose all self-awareness and desire to improve myself"
- bitexploder 10y agoThe right therapeutic level of dosing can do great things. If your brain is stingy with dopamine (due to a variety of causes) just the right size dose of amphetamines to get the dopamine up to "normal" levels does the trick. I think it is why so many ADHD sufferers that become really successful at managing it become runners/distance athletes. The regular 5+ hrs of running is just another way to squeeze the dopamine and such out of our brains :)
