Sounds "Just. Like. Oxy." in that people who have no idea what they're talking about go based on their gut feelings as if science and medicine should yield to their imagination: I mean I'm sure your diabetes is horrible but try telling someone taking insulin to stop. They won't. They depend on not being in a diabetic coma too much! And not slipping into a diabetic coma becomes a part of their personality. - ADHD doesn't mean hyperactivity despite hyperactivity being in the name. For me not taking ADHD medication results in what your proclivity for drug abuse was gaining you: the super human ability to focus on one thing for hours and hours at a time. The difference is when the drugs you were abusing wore off, you'd go back to being able to do other things. I'd just keep being prisoner of whatever I'm doing indefinitely. It's an awful feeling to know you have to do something else, you really need to switch tasks right now, but it's like you're a prisoner in your own mind, just stuck. So subjecting myself to that isn't really something I'd willingly... is that surprising? I mean I've personally requested lower doses of medications, leaned towards less "intrusive" delivery methods like metabolized extended release versions, and stopped when I was injured and unable to do much (being stuck mentally wasn't a big deal when I was physically stuck) But even if someone else dealing with this doesn't want to do that, I don't blame them. It's an awful disease that deserves proper treatment. Some dumb drug abusing kid isn't going to change that.
