They help but the side effects sometimes suck. Sweats/chills, lower blood pressure, etc. Worth it for the clarity I get though.
My problem now is that I’m burnt out, which no drug is going to fix.
Edit: it raises blood pressure and lowers your urination pressure. I mixed them up.
ADHD meds are lowering your blood pressure?
Oops, no, it raises it. It lowers your pressure when peeing lol. I crossed the wires.
It’s Atomoxetine for context.
Ah, that makes more sense!
I forget what it's called but there is one medication that doesn't act as a stimulant and is closer to that of an antidepressant
Could be Bupropion or Atomoxetine. I've been on the former, but it didn't do a lot for my ADHD. It did give me a wonderful few weeks filled with panic attacks and having my mind convinced that every little ache I felt must be because I was dying of something. Of course everybody responds differently, so don't let that deter you if it is prescribed, but for me I never want to touch that stuff again.
I tried Atomoxetine and didn't like it, I don't recall any major mental benefits (maybe my motivation was non existent) but I did recall MAJOR sex related side effects that absolutely sucked.
Wow, that’s rough. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I’ve been taking it for probably close to 8 months now give or take? No side effects like that but I’m still not entirely sold on it. It helps me focus, but I get sweats/chills from it, and it really fucks with my mood sometimes. I also don’t like how super hyperfocused I get sometimes while on it.
My meds make my penis sleepy
