Dont kid yourself, prescribed drugs are even worse in many cases. I was given adderall as a teen and it absolutely wrecked my ability to develop normal routines

  That's fair. I guess I just think that self-diagnosis is usually a very bad idea, that's what I was trying to get at. At least if a doctor gives you the drug, there's at least some trained professional that believes you'd be better off with the drug than without. Obviously there's a ton of abuse that happens with the medical system and it leads to people getting addicted ending up really fucked up, so I'm not claiming it's perfect, I just think it's better than people randomly grabbing their own drug to get some temporary relief. I didn't try adderral until I was 31 (prescribed), and it really messed with my sleep, which is bad enough as it is; even taking a relatively small dose at 8am, I wouldn't be able to get to sleep until 3:30am. Not entirely sure why I had such a horrible reaction and I decided it was definitely not worth it for me, but I could also see why people get hooked on it. In a way, I'm kind of glad I didn't like it.

    You didnt have a horrible reaction thats just how the drug works. You get used to it eventually and ur body adjusts but your sleep remains low quality. And yeah I agree self diagnoses and self medication is pretty bad
