Wow. You’re really just an asshole. Fuck directly off please. Edit for the benefit of people who are not assholes and may want to know about how ADHD treatment works chemically: > I don't think adderall or any amphetamine is a permanent working solution for adhd. It just works. It's the same as taking painkillers for pain. Is the source of the pain gone? No. Will it work forever? No. Does it work? Somewhat. This is all correct in my experience. If the person commenting had left it there I would have emphatically agreed and moved on. Probably with quite a bit more to say supporting this. I’m happy to fill more in later if anyone wants. > Will a person with ADHD have more focus? Yes, just like any other person will. This is both questionably true and intentionally ignoring what it’s responding to in obvious bad faith. For what it’s worth, my ability to focus on amphetamines is roughly the same as it was before I ever got diagnosed. For reasons that are true in the first quote I agreed with emphatically. > It's not a permanent solution. On this I just wholeheartedly agree. No notes at all. Treating ADHD is maintenance, not a cure. I don’t even know that I’d want a cure. > On the topic of drug seeking behaviour, that's exactly what your post sounds like. You're instantly defensive, you begin arguing points that it seems only exist in your mind, anything to protect and validate "your next dose. I’m sorry to tell anyone seeking information about ADHD diagnosis or treatment, but you’re inevitably going to encounter people who think this way no matter what your experience. If you feel like their description of your reaction doesn’t match your reality, it very probably doesn’t. People are understandably biased about amphetamines, and probably see confirmations of their concerns where they don’t realize it’s not true. > The problem is discipline and focus is HARD.. amphetamines make it easy. It's scary to admit it, but once you tell yourself it's hard it will become easier. This is just common ADHD dismissal. It’s completely ignoring actual ADHD experiences and challenges. It’s completely disregarding symptoms as expressed by actual people with ADHD. And it’s entirely focused on “focus”, which has nothing to do with what I described in any of my responses. I’m posting this in hopes anyone who might have a similar background to mine might not be dissuaded by this kind of ignorant judgment.
