  • I’m on clonidine because I have a multi-generational family history of aortic dissection. I was on vyvanse for about two years before my dad’s aorta killed him. I’ve never been more on top of my life than when I was on a stimulant. But clonidine absolutely does help me focus, and it reduces the noise in my head, even if the effects are less profound than the stim.

    I just added buproprion back into my daily meds, hoping that’s going to help more with the executive dysfunction



  • I mean, it was very performative and it felt more like a novelty with how shallow it was. That’s what was weird, there wasn’t respect towards the traditions or an attempt to gain an understanding of the history of the faith or closeness with god.

    I suppose looking back all of the traditions we practiced felt performative lol

    Medication is a privilege that many with ADHD can’t access. It also doesn’t work for everyone. Are those people not disabled?

    Also, ADHD is more than struggling to focus, or to sit still. Many of us struggle to start tasks, manage money, keep things tidy, or manage time. These issues can cause so many problems in life, ranging from inability to hold a job to relationship issues. Once the medication wears off, these symptoms rise back to the surface; because ADHD medication isn’t a cure, it’s symptom management.



  • My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes
