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

So this happened a couple years ago. I was working grave shifts at the time. So I kept my ADHD pills on my night stand because it helped me not forget. This was never really an issue for the dogs as the dogs never came to my room as it was blocked off normally. My medication is DextroAmphetamine 20m
There have been some comments about [the death of Elisa Lam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam) recently, so I thought I would write up the extensive research I have done on this case. This "mystery" is resolved – the official conclusion that she had a manic episode and accidentally d
It's my fifth year at what was supposed to be just 2 years of community college. I am on dextroamphetamine 25 mg and amphetamine salts 10 mg. I have been in therapy for over a decade. I took only 2 classes this semester. And yet I still failed. I know I'm not unintelligent. It's because I literally

Earlier this week, I wrote a post asking about whether certain symptoms I was experiencing were a side effect. Ironically, I had also just written a post a day before that in regard to missing my Dr"s appointment for the issues mentioned above. Luckily, I received an appointment the next day; unfor
This post isn’t to be negative, but to offer an alternative experience for those with ADHD. I’ve tried Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin, Dextroamphetamine, Intuniv, Clonodine, and Stratterra. Each one of them eventually takes a massive toll on my body. Sleeping sucks, eating sucks, focus fee
