AMPHETAMINE vs ATOMOXETINE

THE SAGA CONTINUES: Hi so I had my meeting with HR and the coworker I “fatshamed.” She made a comment about how she’s never seen me eat lunch and I laughed and gave a sassy clapback “yeah you should try it sometime” Here’s the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/14nftj8/6_months_of_

So in august Dr Phil decided to talk about his disapproval of using amphetamines salts on kids, he said this pill makes people psychotic through sleep deprivation and he doesn't get why doctors give them out so easily. This is so wrong from someone who is a doctor, there is a difference between a he

My mom was telling me about the diet pills she was prescribed in the seventies. Usually she took half of one a day because she didn't have that much weight to lose and it meant only getting a prescription every other month. \*Unless\* she had a paper due. Bizarre phenomenon, a full pill taken an ho

•UPDATED BELOW • I’ve been a substance abuser my whole life. From grade school to adulthood. Uppers downers and everything in between. I’ve lied and stolen. That being said after I got clean almost 3 years ago I felt like something was off. After I talked to my sponsor to make sure I wasn’t manipula

The WSJ posted [this](https://www.wsj.com/articles/students-struggle-academically-fight-in-schools-amid-adderall-shortage-209d01e0) today and I made the mistake of reading the comments section. The article is actually not as bad as it could be, surprisingly. I've been skeptical of my own diagnosis

A lethal dose can be as low as 20 mg for a cat. And they can nab something and run off with it in the blink of an eye. You turn your back when your medications are out, you may end up standing for 10 hours in a row next to an increasingly pissed off cat in some veterinary hospital. Not an activ

Hello there this is my story (small paragraphs because u know) 1. I knew i had troubles from a while back. I’m a brilliant mind who got far in life, i’ve always had issues in executing, i was kinda oblivious to the why. 2. Symptoms got worse with total isolation, MJ, nicotine, coffee, semi bad diet

Nothing boils my blood more than getting texts saying "hurr durr I'll pay you $20 for your whole Adderall script every month" Also the one time my aunt stole my meds while I was staying at her house, then she called my (now former) psychiatrist and told him I was abusing my meds to deflect blame off

For the first time in years I sat down, sorted through and cleared out all the old unread emails in my inbox. It took me about 2 hours and it felt great. Sorting through things that I know I should do but will leave for another time has always been a big problem for me so it was great to do that and

They snooped through my bag while I was visiting and found my atomoxetine. They obviously googled what it was. They think I’m just a lazy and irresponsible person and I should just stop and be a normal person and stop taking “unhealthy western meds” (I’m Asian). Honestly I don’t have the energy to e

* Since graduating 2.5 years ago, I’ve had 4 jobs as a frontend developer. * Every single time I’ve been fired, it’s the same reasons: delays, missed attention to detail, work needing multiple QA passes before it’s acceptable. * I joined my current company in December. In January, I started medicati

Phone call with a doctor a couple weeks ago. Literally broke down. "Sorry, we can't even consider the depression talk because you're on Atomoxetine." I cave in and ring my specialist, she has a history of shrugging me off but she actually walked me through the depression checklist, I show up as depr

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. Doc gives me atomoxetine great. I can think before speaking. It's wild there's this pause before I blurt out what I'm about to angrily say. Eye contact feels less intense. There's no constant monitoring of yourself in environments. There's no constant thought cyc

I’m an Asian woman about to turn 30, recently diagnosed with ADHD. Growing up, I was called “lazy” and “irresponsible” because I was always late and procrastinated. My parents don’t believe in ADHD—they think I just lack discipline. Right now, I’m living with them, working part-time, and barely have

Yesterday my psychiatrist prescribed me a new medication for my ADHD, Atomoxetine. He told me it was hard to find, so I started my pharmacy run to see if I could find it. I managed to find a pharmacy that ordered it for me. After I payed for it the pharmacist commented that he had never heard of thi

I started strattera last Friday. It caused me to have intense dreams, except when I woke up I was stuck in the same state. It started two days ago, I woke up dizzy and confused. I accidentally ended up scraping my car on a large curb, but I believed it was from a lack of sleep. Yesterday, I felt ext
