    I do not recommend Adderall. It puts you in a tunnel and gives you laser focus, but you see nothing outside the tunnel. The things outside the tunnel are sometimes very important.

    If you need to focus, sometimes the answer is to find better things to focus on. If you find one of those things, your natural abilities (known to most as disabilities) will drive you towards your goal faster than any pill, or normie is capable of.

    I am not a mental health professional, nor do I know every use case of this drug. Take my suggestion with a massive heap of salt.

      Oh man. PLEASE do not recommend people with Dopamine Deficiency to skip their medications. Reckless comments like this could lead vulnerable people down a potentially deadly path.

      Your comment doesn’t need a massive heap of salt, it needs to be taken with every grain of salt in the world. DO NOT skip your medicine if they work for you and you have been taking them for years. Withdrawal from any medication, not to mention medication that you’re brain needs, can and will lead to bad consequences.

      I can’t believe I’m having to say this.
