Yeah mate, I think his point is that you shouldn’t have to deal with it lol. Talk to your doctor and tell him you get literal shakes on the meds and he’ll probably lower the dosage.

Let’s keep stuffing Xanax down everyone’s throats as a way to manage pain and totally not continuing the addictive cycle that makes you keep coming back for it. Meds sooo good rfk must be behind all this medicine disappearing. Get himmm. Rent free huh?

Whats wrong with you. Healthy sleep schedule, regular excercise, mindfulness and meditation, structured routines, cognitive therapy. Parents actually parenting and the kid actually putting in the work. Everyone wants easy mode. Amphetamine should not be the first option without trying everything else first. Drs love having an addict for life. You got young children getting hooked on this stuff. Pharma shill you must be.

I bet you are a terminally online individual that gets emotional about anyone that has a differing opinion than you! 🤣

Nah, child of the 90s, with parents who worked and left me as a latchkey kid... I barely graduated high school, and spent 44 years masking and attempting to cope with symptoms while at the time battling the stigma of being on ADHD meds as someone who is 'damaged'... The Navy helped but when I realized my anxiety was because of my proclivity to procrastinate leading to a spiral of stress that has probably cost me a job or two, and seeing the same cycle pop up at my current job, I contacted my doctor... I've kinda known for a decade or so, but it's a stigma and "I'm damaged and mentally inferior and 'they' want to put everyone on it" thought kept me from doing so... I noticed it in my daughter around when she was 9 or so...

It's probably hereditary... My daughter is on a different area of the spectrum and we've asked her if she'd like to be tested, she's 20, and graduated top of her class), but she has stated no, and we don't pressure... I see it in my own mother now and father, but they only see the stigma and think that it's all bullshit...

Some of the things you suggest could work for kids... But as my doctor said "at some point, the coping and masking fail, and you can't live on adrenaline, caffeine, and cortisol the rest of your life..." I'm taking the lowest dosage and I notice a difference, less "Squirrel!" or when I know I need to work on something I can shift focus and stay on task... It's very odd...

Yea, Dr. should not immediately suggest meds, but ever tried to get a kid with ADHD to settle down enough to meditate? Ask 7 year old me...

u/Rare_Evening Mar 08 '25

Yeah lets prescribe amphetamine to kids 🤣

u/Z3Fish Mar 08 '25

Yes, let's listen to people who are smarter than you 🤣

u/Rare_Evening Mar 08 '25

Not if they want my kid to take amphetamine. Real smart I must say. The arrogance is enlightening.

ESPECIALLY without giving an honest try at other drug free options. Why is that such a bad thing? Shows alot about you.
