Bro same

okay, but is it worth it in the long-run?

@zmizzy ADD is one of the most crippling things you can have if it’s really bad. You literally can know what you have to do in life but can’t do it. Everyone will call you lazy and “you just aren’t trying” but your body runs off of brain chemicals and if you don’t get dopamine you can’t do anything that requires effort, at all. There’s no motivation to do anything. I got to the point where I realized I didn’t like conversation with people because it didn’t feel good, but it did for everyone else. People overlook things like ADD and think it’s no big deal. It’s life crippling and one of the worst things you can have.

​@zmizzy yes. Adhd is linked with a 3 fold risk of developing dementia, and stimulants are shown to remove that risk. Also, adhd reduces your lifespan on average by over 10 years due to unhealthy choices and stress. Adderall removes those risks as well. So if anything, adderall may lead to a longer and healthier life.

@@exnecross3141 Yeah and constant use of amphetamines is linked to increased risk of parkinsons

Joe isn't a doctor and he doesn't know the studies, but they do over prescribed it. I remember being 6 or 7 and then getting prescribed that stuff, but it turns out I wasn't add ADHD I was bipolar

@@jimmymetal713 Bipolar and ADHD used to get misdiagnosed as the other. Likewise, General Practitioners tend to not stay up on their studies and mental health is making strides all the time. So, the real issue is doctors not understanding ADHD as well as the psychiatrists, neurologists or pediatricians. Some one with bi-polar is also going to react poorly to stimulants as the stimulants would trigger their mania.

Of course he missed the point. Joe uses conspiracy theories, he doesn't know how to critically think.

I remember the drug that helped me best on any mental task was percocet.

Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double-check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.

Yup your right if u have ADHD its not gonna make you hyper it actually makes u calm

The mental chattering part really resonates 😂

You junkies just love being on drugs cause u don't do sh with the lives u were given.

Velvet bean. Lava dopa. precursor to dopamine

This part!!

100% brother

dude, its like you are me, but i am thirty three, recently diagnosed. one thing i noticed, taking ritalin daily, is that i plan much more ahead and i am calmer, playing the drums nearly every day now, less yelling and weird outbreaks. this is huge contrast to alcohol which makes one even more stuck in the here and now and since i take ritalin alcohol consumption is almost zero, also i stopped smoking cigarettes. but to be able to focus on the future is the big win for me. i am very glad this works for me.

@@bufferjoetommas good luck man.

Have been diagnosed with the same and on and off of medication for most of my teen/adult life… whether I need it or not the side effects are not worth it. I hated the way I felt physically and mentally when taking said medication. I swear it’s like speed and at high doses nottt good. It ruins your oral health, takes away your appetite, speeds your heartbeat up, nausea, headaches, and so on. I get it, when I take it I can tell it’s “working” but 8+ hours later I start to feel crappy

its because in adhd, specifically hyperactive and super impulsive adhd, the circuits for inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are linked. So if you activate one, you activate them all, if blunt one, you blunt the rest. If your nominal level of activity when overstimulated is well beyond that of what you would normally experience from the medication, then the net result is that the circuit is less active than it would othewise be.

Its chemical that will kill your system inside out

....for now

same, my life was legitimately a shitshow and it really helps me think in a "linear" way with complex or time based tasks. now a software engineer after 3 years of dedication and structure (the meds aren't wholly the reason, they're just a great tool if your brain operates like this with time)

I’m the same way. I was diagnosed at 5 in now 35 and have been put on every adhd med on the market. I’m on Vyvanse now and without it I am all over the place. With these adhd med shortages, I have so much anxiety when my script is ready to fill. There’s no way I can perform at work at the level I do without it. It’s a hell of a thing to hinge being able to provide for your family on a single pill. Those who don’t have ADHD cannot begin to fathom what we go through.

Deadass

Yeah I noticed it the first minute and immediately looked in the comments to see if only I saw it 🤣🤣🤣.

Joe's ready for liftoff 🚀

Its like a much dank edit

@@stavrosferedinos584 that’s what speed does…

lol fake news is my fav

@zmizzy I mean this interview is just total bullshit. Getting diagnosed adult adhd and getting my adderall medication changed my life. If this dude has a problem with psychoactive drugs SSRIs are the fucking devil.

I have severe ADHD, I used to feel exactly as you do. That is because misinformed general practitioners and general public don't understand ADHD and why stimulants help us. Stimulants help your dopamine uptake, which then regulates your focus and executive functions better. It won't remove all of your ADHD issues, but it will help with your ability to concentrate, control your impulsivity, and such. Stimulants are like glasses for your brain. Go look up videos from Dr. Russell Barkley, he is a leading ADHD expert and the knowledge he has out there is essential to learning how your ADHD brain functions.

Nice how has it been effecting u since ?

@@somedudeonyoutube3737 ok I guess its not been some miracle cure but besides just feeling like a strong long lasting cup of coffee it kinda puts me in a mindset that makes me be able to work I used to have an all or noting kind of thinking like I wouldn’t be able to get a essay done because how can I write 5000 words in one sitting I look at the whole instead of just focusing on doing chunks I now seems just just not even think of the whole and just start working sometimes. I’ve had no overwhelming academic change though but many factors play into that like I’ve started a new job but thanks for asking hope this helps somehow.

Have you considered that you don't exercise regularly and your diet is garbage, and that is why your brain can't operate?

Adhd is not just about failing in school. Y'all lose credibility the moment you mention school, class, or autism

it really is like glasses in a lot of ways, but i think a major difference is that it doesnt simply fix all your problems. at the end of the day, you still have adhd and no matter what meds you take or how perfect they are for you, symptoms will still present. unlike glasses, therapy (in some form) is also required to understand how to operate with those meds if you want to be "20/20"

@@gaugea I think that analogy fits it well since (for me at least) all it does is bring me to like a baseline there was no euphoric effect or huge epiphany the only side effect I had was dry mouth so i just drank a little bit more water.

@@pppearr thats good. unfortunately i get a few annoying side effects (extremely low appetite, tunnel vision, tachycardia, increased anxiety) but i cant rly complain, its definitely well worth it

ehh, slowly building up habits sober and taking your time especially removing distractions seems way healthier than taking straight dopamine to get wired just to complete work. Health should be a priority not chemicals that alter your natural functioning ways. I get some people lack the chemicals in the brain or what not, but taking something everyday just to become dependant than one day have to get off it seems pointless and it seems to work better as a tool every so often. Nice to have around on a rainy day.

Bro Rogan is an idiot speaking out of his realm of understanding. At least he owns it, I guess.

Exactly!!! It’s literally has a really dark side.. the attention part etc are the just the top of the iceberg. No one talks about the really dark side of it. Adhd is real and it’s not just about lacking focus etc.

@@aquariuslight1907 RIGHT!!

Agree. The idiots in here attacking us are spreading hurtful misinformation. Adhd is severely misunderstood.

Because people abuse adderall and it's so easily prescribed. When you abuse it, you fully go insane. Stimulant induced psychosis is no joke.

Well that isn't entirely true. You could understand if you don't have ADHD, you'd just have to also read that book :P

That’s pathetic

Cope

It's great for being productive but after a while, it's nice to have peace and slow down. Not to mention the horrible mental state you will be left with such as manic episodes or paranoia through long term use or abuse. Better as a tool for boring and repetitive tasks that require your attention for multiple hours, studying, and maybe partying lol. Although it seems gamers love it too XD.

Wow i didn't realize the severity of excuses junkie loosers give themselves for continue staying high

exactly

Medications are first line treatment due to their safety profile and efficacy. Unmedicated adhd has side effects and consequences that people seem to forget. Other interventions are great to try such as diet, exercise, social skills training, family education, mindfulness, but are less effective and can take much longer to occur, also require much more engagement long term from family/patient/child rather than the convenience of a pill or two a day which a timer can be set for

Thank God you did. Doctors encourage addiction and dependence. You should be proud, quitting that shit is not easy.

Exactly this. This narrative that adderall is poisoning the population is harmful to people that need this to get their dopamine up to other people’s base line… A quote from a friend that really helped me realize how BS this stigma is “if adderall is so addictive for me, than why do I forget to take it all the time” 😂 people who are walking around with ADHD have an entirely different chemical reaction happening in their brain than non-ADHD people, that’s why they’re prescribed it.

I do have severe ADHD and still agree with Rogan's view. Treating ADHD as a desease rather than a character trait is something I find irresponsible. In natural survival situations we people with ADHD would have a huge advantage. When I am looking at potential prey in front of me and from the back there is a bear coming, considering ME as prey, I WANT to be easily distracted. The thing is that our society developed into a direction where things that used to be strengths are not needed anymore and even seen as weaknesses. IMO people with ADHD are just less adapted to a sick society. Does that make us sick?

You’re just getting high on speed. Don’t delude yourself.

@@magnusfreebornnot quite, a small increase in Dopamine can increase motivation & enforce healthy habits under the right dose & under supervision. But a high dose may cause a high like destructive affect. Same as a sample of red wine might make you slightly relaxed but a full bottle could make you angry & violent. Dosage makes the poison.

@@cameroncroker2936 You’re getting high. That’s it. You don’t need speed or red wine to be more productive or focused. Lol. If you like getting high just say that, I’m not judging, I love snorting ketamine, but I don’t sugarcoat it like it somehow makes me better than I am when I’m sober. It makes life more fun. That’s it. Call it what it is. You’re not medicating shit other than mundanity of life.

It makes them feel like Superman, like they are guaranteed to succeed in anything that attempt, they feel overwhelmingly confident and their words flow outta their mouth before they even think of them. Time feels slowed and whatever they are currently doing becomes the whole of their world, some say they gain a level of clarity that makes realty go from looking like 1080 to 4K, their energy seem unlimited, and their a lightness to their bodies. (This is some of the descriptors I got from friends, I like you do not experience the effects at normal dosages)

​@@metalmanexetremethat is the exact effect. U feel on top of the world. Take like 9mgs n u feel like u rolling

Zone out = high

Did it help with your focus?

Sounds like a drug addict lol. I see the same people who say the same thing about opioids “they changed my life and made me not worry so much and feel like myself”

@@airassault1151ya so

@BenjaminJared-um7my wtf has that got to do with ADHD? Oh right nevermind, bots.

@@airassault1151 Who gives a shit about your opinion though? Its obviously not informed.

Your just high all the time now

But it was a test to see if he had above average IQ, not everyone would score well or way better on that kind of test

Not when you have ADHD I sleep like a baby..

definitely it will if you are bipolar and snorting it and jamming it up your ass. But on-label prescribed usage is a little different.

My bullshit allert was triggered on this dude

Not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have a credible source? I am now taking adderall, and it doesn’t help me as much. I am an alcoholic pit head but I remember buying it from friends back in the day and back them I was still a big pot head but it worked WONDERS back then when I wasn’t prescribed it. I don’t think it’s a dosage issue I think it’s the fact that I take the adderall for granted and expect it to do all the work. I need to realize that it’s still all up to me to get up and go be productive. Back when I wasn’t prescribed the meds, focalin, adderall, and vyvance made me feel so good and I would get tons of homework done. I’d go for a walk or bike ride and the grass would be so green, the sky so blue, the air so crisp. It was pure bliss. I wouldn’t take a huge dose or anything just slightly above or at the starting dose for most people. Even when I got prescribed Ritalin at first and then vyvance it never hit the same. By the time my doc gave me adderall, it just didn’t do what it used to before I was prescribed it. I don’t even take it everyday, I just got my script refilled and I still have twenty, 20mg pills left so that would be 10 days worth since I’m prescribed twice daily as needed. I don’t take it everyday and when I do take it I rarely take the full 40mgs that I’m prescribed since I have hyper hydrosis so the adderall makes me sweat profusely. Not only is sweating a side effect of adderall but increased anxiety is also a side effect. I already have social anxiety, due to the fact that I got bullied for being an annoying hyper active kid when I was really little. I’m not as hyper active anymore but sometimes I still can be. Anyways, with my social anxiety I find that the sweating is what really makes me anxious. It’s sucks because I’ll get just slightly anxious, and then start sweating. I don’t even notice the anxiety before I start sweating but once I have noticeable pit stains I become really anxious which makes my anxiety SOO much worse which makes me sweat SOO much more. It’s a super vicious cycle that I cannot escape and adderall just makes that worse so I try to only take adderall when I’m studying alone or if I’m at school or work I only take it when I absolutely need to. Sorry if you read all of this I just had to vent. My life fucking sucks and it’s all my fault and I want to stop being a failure and it brings me so much anguish and I just wish I could be a productive person. Fuck man

@@Yashhaa watch Dr Berkeley, I think he does mention the same thing when asked if you can grow out of adhd. For the most part, like 80%, you won’t grow out of AdHD. But if you do, your best chance is to get me medicated and psychological treatment young, very young, which would give you the best chance to get your symptoms down so much that it’s not a disability anymore later on in life. That’s likely not going to happen though for most of us. Frustrating thing is parents with adhd kids probably have it themselves, as it’s genetic, so you end up just getting screwed over by a very erratic at times. So damn frustrating.

Neuroplasticity doesn’t end at 25, even neurogenesis probably doesn’t either. Ya it’s higher at younger ages but still so what?

Could be a comorbidity, it possible you are on a med your having a reaction to. Talk to your doctor.

Maybe you should not be on this drug in the first place???

Side effects bro duh always research ur drugs bro

No its not its very helpful for me

It also helps me stay off hard drugs ive done in the past

@@durpledorekapre3991 it being helpful to you doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Knives are very useful tools when applied correctly. And a good way to turn your hand into a bloody stump if you are careless.

What’s that

He’s high af in this vid

Its also about not wrecking all of your vehicles and relationships, if you actually have an inability to direct your own attention.

he’s literally on some kind of downer. the exact opposite of speed or coke

Wrong Nate

true

methamphetamine is a prescribed medication for children with adhd under Desoxyn... and Fentanyl is prescribed to people under extreme pain. they are useful, but use wisely

meth also causes the release of serotonin which makes it infinitely more neurotoxic and addictive in small doses, kind of like the difference inbetween ritalin (dopamine and norepinepherine reuptake inhibition) and cocaine (dopamine+norepenipherine+serotonin)

Being a gifted child is a double edge sword, and only exacerbated by adhd. Even for neurotypical children with high IQs, the fact that the first 5-8 years of school is a breeze means you don't actually bother developing the study habits that the other kids needed in order to just make it. So you find your self in highschool or college, staring at the material going "what what the fuck am i supposed to do with this?". And nobody will help you because you are 'gifted'.

If it's not good for creativity, then it's definitely not good math

Agreed, great tool for when something repetitive or something that requires thinking, or even while recreational gaming but if you are trying to create something new or think out of the box, it can definitely affect your ego and inflate it til you look foolish. Even if you take too much before a social setting, you may become agitating or just over confident, or god forbid aggressive :0

I thought I had adhd although I didnt get checked but I can't focus well and for long, plus I can't retain information for long and Vyvanse does help with that I just would rather not take it everyday its quite addictive and life without it is so boring and mundane. I enjoy and am energized doing anything when I take a stimulant, but I don't want to lose control of usage, It seems more effective when taken as needed.

yea thats why hes so passionately against it, i think he knows too lol

It is people like this that hurt those of us with ADHD who need those drugs to lead more normal lives.

i wish weed would work for me but it literally makes everything worse for me. i was told it would help reduce anxiety symptoms when it actually made them worse lmao it also made my mind race.
