I found that dexedrine or generic dextroamphetamine is the best fit for my body and mind. I get no ups and downs, just ease from my anxiety, depressive, ocd like traits that come with my ADHD I have. I found Adderall was too harsh on my body and didn't sit with me. Dexedrine sits so well that I barely even tell I'm taking any medicine other than I'm getting relief from my negative symptoms of my ADHD. It just quites my mind, relaxing me. I mix XR with a IR afternoon.

@Futures that video is pure BS. You can’t diagnose psychiatric conditions with blood tests due to the complexity of neurochemistry - this would be the equivalent of attempting to read someone’s thoughts using blood screens. Brain scans are used to find out if there are physical abnormalities in the brain such as tumours but can’t accurately detect the levels of different specific neurotransmitters in regions of the brain and certainly not at the level to be able to accurately diagnose conditions like adhd, depression, Aspergers syndrome ect - again you can’t read someone’s thoughts using a brain scan. Someone with a psychiatric illness like adhd won’t have a physically misshapen brain that would be detectable on a MRI scan. Amphetamines are not prescribed at doses that recreational drug users would take so this is a false comparison - most of the physical health problems associated with street amphetamine usage are actually mainly down to the fact these are very low quality and contain a variety of toxic impurities. The amphetamine is the addictive molecule but it’s all of the other stuff in combination that tends to kill people/cause health issues - a bit like smoking, with nicotine alone not being that dangerous (although addictive), however all of the other toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke being the real killer. Medical amphetamines at prescription doses have less side effects than caffeine when used correctly.
@roro-mm7cc2 жыл бұрын
@Futures so you are basically discounting the whole field of psychiatry? I agree that many drugs are often over prescribed especially in the US due to the for profit healthcare system and avenues of research that may be more effective are likely often ignored by pharmaceutical companies as they wouldn’t be profitable. The conditions themselves are certainly real though and have been well studied. I definitely agree that the US healthcare system is mad and this is mainly down to the absurd power of the pharma lobby. I’m from the uk and we have a nationalised healthcare system here everything is free so there is little incentive for profit. Adhd is still a thing here although it’s much less commonly diagnosed.

@@sydneyharp1989 I forsure understand what you're saying. I guess I just wonder how much any young person truly needs these meds because I myself wasn't diagnosed with adhd until adulthood so I have a biased perspective. Also seeing so many kids become zombies on the meds is heartbreaking

Be more scared about not medicating your kid. eg watch Dr. Russell Barkley’s teaching videos. 4x the car accidents, increased drug/alcohol issues, smoking, school failure, underachievement, underemployment, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, teen pregnancy, need I go on?

@@kayladacosta9295 A zombie medicated kid is a kid who is having issues that need to be solved with the medication not the medication, it shouldn’t be the end goal. It’s a problem that needs to be fixed, some parents stop there because that’s what they think is right and external problems seem fixed to them. Too high a dose, wrong medication for their brain but not others. A kid is met with daily frustrations where they aren’t doing well as they know they can tanking self esteem and leading them to find success in other things even if they liked it. If it’s not your area you exceeded the limits. A student who is an +A student is a C but a C student is failing. Not saying you can’t be smart and have ADHD it is an example. I wish I would have had it earlier because I finally feel capable to do simple everyday things that I saw everyone else could do with ease. A kid without could end up with problems like above. People need a sense of accomplishment, it’s a kid without a sense of time. Their parents yell because they were hyper focused on drawing and nothing is done. No kid wants blame the can’t control they blame themselves.

Why doesn’t this presentation bother people? Why have we no perspective? LOOK AT THE SIDE EFFECTS!!!!!

Steve Stevens For a lot of people, like myself, the benefits of the medication far outweigh any of the side effects that happen. No medication is perfect; every type of medicine in the world has possible side effects. If you don’t want to take the medication because the side effects are too much for you, that’s fine, you do you. But don’t get in here on soap box acting like just because a medication has side effects then suddenly it’s detrimental to peoples’ health

I don't have any side effects at all. I'm not bothered one bit by the presentation.

what is the difference between drugs and this?what is wrong in this world that people take so much drugs ?
@Joshdrums4 жыл бұрын
These are drugs. The only difference is the way you intend to use them. You can snort Ritalin if you want or you can take it as you are meant to. Instead of judging people about drugs and being strongly against all use of them try to understand circumstances in which they are useful and benefits for there use
