> SSRIs aren't considered addictive at all. And thats BS. It's completely physically and psychologically addictive for many people with severe withdrawal symptoms. If they're not considered addictive then thats an issue with the DSM and inconsistent metrics used by medical fields. > As I mentioned to someone else, please take an earnest visit to https://www.reddit.com/r/StopSpeeding/ https://www.reddit.com/r/StopSpeeding/ and consider the idea that a lot of our ADHD peers struggle with stimulants. I'm sure many do struggle with abusing stimulants. They're not silver bullets, and do need appropriate care and monitoring by a medical professional. Especially when starting a new treatment. However, I find that link is also full of things like "Bob was addicted to Adderal, and took 30mg everyday for 8 years". To me thats sounds like a successful therapeutic treatment without other supporting info like "Bob would use his monthly supply in a week". Few would consider "Bob took a normal dosage of an SSRI for 8 years" as an addiction. > That's a myth. Take a double dose of your prescription and report back whether you feel it (sort of kidding, it's a dangerous path). To clarify, I'm sure some do get a mild high. Many don't. Maybe I'd get one on a higher dose, but I've got no desire to do so as I get much more enjoyment over just feeling awake and being able to focus. Though I definitely get a "mild high" if I accidentally take an extra dose of my SSRI.
