I just don't understand then why they put folks like me on Vyvanse when I was a kid.
In my experience, children getting stimulants isn't usually a big deal for doctors because it's unlikely for children to have a preexisting history of drug addiction. It's young adults, especially people of color, requiring controlled substances that sets off their cop brain worms
Even as a white teenager in the mid 2000's they wouldn't prescribe me real painkillers after surgery, they gave me extra strength tylonol which was basically nothing and I was still in agony for over a week
Cop brain worms may be the worst brain worms
What was your situation like? I wish I'd been put on Vyvanse as a kid.
I was diagnosed in Kindergarten and they put me on medication K-7ish and 11-12. About 5-7 and later I was probably taking Vyvanse. I had Medicaid at the time. No psychiatrist ever tried to explain what was the matter with me and I was never really conscious of what was the matter. They just told me to take the medicine so I could be allowed to go to school.
