I don't have my meds at the moment, which sucks. But it's not the first time I've come off them. It's not really a huge deal. It sucks, but only because I don't have the medicine I need, but it's not like I'm shivering and sweating, unable to function. It's just more like, "Well, shit." At least for me. I miss my Vyvanse.
i find it funny to imagine the reactions of people who say "nooooooo adhd meds are addictive!" if you took their glasses or shoes.
somehow a borderline complete dependency on those things is fine, but medication to balance your brain chemicals? fucking druggie addicts smhh
Same. Its more of an annoyance than any sort of physical need.
