As someone who also has it: have you tried medicine like Adderall?

I’m so torn on it. On one hand, it makes me so productive, but on the other, it makes me so unemotional and cold and abrasive.

It also makes me sweat, increases my heart rate, and has a terrible comedown when taken often.

I was diagnosed at 16 and was on it for years, eventually moving up to 4x the dosage as my body grew resistance.

I’ve stopped it for the past couple years, and now am back to the lowest dosage on rare occasions I take it, but still unsure how to feel about it.
