Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

    Urgh, no. I have ADHD, I get prescribed methylphenidate hydrochloride. I take it because it makes my brain work a little better.

    At a recreational dose though? No. Urgh, fuck no. The comedown was fucking awful. Zero appetite, can’t sleep, can’t think properly, just why? 💛

      That Adderall is pretty literally speed like you would get as recreational, dextroamphetamine, not sure I would abuse it like taking a high dose, just absolutely confident I would want to stay up.

      I remember being able to sleep on speed as a teenager and that felt so good, it just felt so good as a high, a little or a lot. Really bad for your heart, but apparently Adderall at the regular dose is good for your brain, protective vs. dementia. As is coffee, and exercise which are what I use to medicate.

      Yeah I’ve only taken a few doses of Adderall and it really comes in “can think to varying degrees” and “call poison control to see if I need to go to fhe hospital”. Pill organizers hsve stopped the latter.
