    I tried them. It fucked with my gut, my sleep, and my personality… same thing happened to my son who was encouraged to take them by his mom.

    Bottom line is almost anyone I’ve ever known who was prescribed ADHD meds didn’t want to keep taking them and stopped at some point; only exception being my sister who is on more of a broad spectrum anxiety/depression med that also may treat ADHD.



  • I’ll be honest, it has really prevented me from accepting the fact that I screened positive as an adult for ADHD based on other symptoms, because I’m older and when I was in elementary school non-hyperactive ADHD wasn’t really much of a thing. (Side rant: why can’t we go back to calling it ADD if it’s not hyperactive? Why did they ever decide to erase the distinction and call them the same thing?) But having a son with non-hyperactive ADHD has forced me to admit that it exists, and see signs of it in myself. Unfortunately the side effects of meditation are not worth it in my case, so I can’t do much with this insight.
