a lot of people commit suicide when on or coming off these drugs...

Wow, wtf. Is it the drug controling the pychopath, or the pychopath blaming the drug? Think about that one. Also, you can die from "overdosing" on freaking children's cough syrup, etc, so don't assume that a control substance is bad when used outside it's intended use.


To the OP, best thing to do is make lists and designated spots for shit like keys. I *ALWAYS* put my phone/wallet/keys together in the same spot, so it becomes habbit and I don't loose them. I also have several spots for post-it notes, stacks of used notes with ideas I'd otherwise forget, and general lists of things I need to do today, this month, and even this year. Patterns or routines help imensely too. Obviously I have adhd myself, I forget short-term stuff like a mutherfuck. I can forget shit mid-sentance, it's rediculous. However with meds (that I rarely take now) or random bursts of clairity, I can get rediculous amounts of stuff done with a focused effort.

Adderal XR has been my favorite, fewest side effects, and longest lasting benifits. Amphetamines wash out of the system quickly, and aren't physically addicting. Only mentally addicting to people who'd also be addicted to gambling/etc, or abused by people who'd also abuse alcohol/etc. And as JD said, if you use any amphetamines, make sure to EAT and DRINK. It natrually supresses your hunger, but you still physically need to eat & drink. Research amphetamines and actors in the 50's and 60's...



To the people who think adhd is just an excuse for lazy unorganized people, go piss up a burning rope. You've probably spent less time researching it as I've spent fucking your mom. When someone has shit compartmentalized into a fine arangement of neatness, walks into their room, and absentmindedly takes their glasses off to rub their eye, and looks around to find they somehow lost their fucking glasses in a span of 5 seconds...CONSTANTLY...it's not being lazy or disorganized. When you have 3 notes in important places to remind you of something, and even wrote it on your hand, but still forget to do something, it's not being lazy or disorganized. When you get in your car with a list in your wallet, and forget where the hell you're going - and where you put your list - AND your goddamned wallet - it's not being lazy or disorganized. It just plain sucks, that's what it is.

You wouldn't tell someone who is missing both legs that he's lazy for not being able to roll himself up a flight of normal stairs, and you certainly wouldn't tell a mother of a downs syndrom child that she simply didn't try hard enough to teach the kid english or grammer. I have a problem and I deal with it the best I can, rarely do I ever tell people - use it as an excuse - that I have adhd.

I don't know about adhd or add but I'm pretty sure I'm hardcore bipolar. I go through times when I could take over the world and do anything. Then it kind of swings into I can't even look someone in the eye.
  Ive learned to deal with it. I just don't let my mood or negative feelings when I have them rule me I pick out goals I would have when I'm feeling good and force them to get done when I feel at my worst. I kind of push my logical side of thinking outside of how I feel and go with something positive and make it happen.
    Thats how you beat this kind of stuff you keep going you carry out your plans anyway. You just know that better day is coming so I push through and get to the other side of it.
  you set those goals you carry them out and you feel accomplished that builds up and gets you better.
   When I was a kid and I'd let it beat me up and mess up my life I'd have to spend the whole time I felt good working out the things I detroyed when I felt bad.
   And to the OP your shit about blurting crap out thats hurtfull or makes you look like an ass Ive done that to.  Youve just got to make yourself shut your mouth and when you open your mouth to speak make sure you thought about what your getting ready to say.
Youve got to admit your fucking crazy you start thinking you hate your kid or want to tell you wife to fuck off make yourself understand thats nuts and just don't say it at those moments it's more important then anything else to imagine what you'd say in a good mood
and then say that even if you don't meen it at the time.
  It's absolute mental discipline youve got to parent yourself from the inside.  I could go on for months about this stuff so I'll shut up.

qft I understand and agree 100%.

Grow up and deal with it, having a wife and kid didn't make a man out of you so work on that.

See, this is exactly what I mean. 

ADHD is sitting around all night meaning to call Mista Bone "Chuck," but you keep forgetting.  Bipolar is where you yell at Bone, "SEE YA LATER, CHUCK!!" as you run out the door and do a burnout in your turbo Accord.  COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Quoted again. This.

Time release is what I recommend if you have insurance, but it's $100 opposed to $6 for non-time release.

adderall XR just came off patent a couple months ago. $10 co-pay baby. it's quite good stuff. it's strange how a stimulant can actually calm you down and allow you to focus.


biggest issue most ADHD people have is chronological thinking. there are two "filing cabinets" for planned events: "now" and "not now." the problem is when something gets filed under "not now" it rarely comes back out. that's what fucks me all the time.. if it's not a "now" issue, i guarantee i'm going to forget about it.

read "delivered from distraction." there are a lot of good methods for helping yourself not put things into the "not now" cabinet.

another thing is diet. sugars are awful for you. they put your body into 'regulation' mode trying to regulate your blood sugar, and most of the nutrients/building blocks for neurotransmitters get consumed in that rather than going to your brain where they belong. eat fish- grilled salmon, not fried walleye.

making sure your brain has the building blocks it needs to make the serotonins, dopamines, etc is fundamental to your brain working properly.

of course, i speak as if my brain actually works properly. that's a laugh.

Yeah, sugar started fucking with me hard 4-5 years ago.

Ditto, I've never had enough dopamine.
