    I don’t think ADHD meds are prescribed for increasing energy. In fact, they can reduce hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour.

      “stimulants aren’t actually stimulants, they’re actually relaxants”

      I genuinely thought your rhetoric couldn’t get worse. Next you’ll argue how “I know a guy who has a totally opposite reaction to stimulants than everyone else”. No they don’t, you just don’t understand the basics of neuroscience

          Wow that’s such a massively insightful article that I can’t help but to gaze in awe.

          RFK jr does whatever makes him the most money and what he happens to like, fuck science.

          Exactly like you. You can’t even manage an unreasonable argument, let alone a reasonable one.

          Adhd is neurodevelopmental disorder. And seemingly it’s increased more than 350% more than other neurodevelopmental disorders. And it’s being pushed even on people who have literally no signs of it.

          But hey, you can’t let it go, so we should change science to accommodate your addiction! /s

        A dopamine excess and a dopamine dearth can have similar effects on behaviour. Meds that increase dopamine will have an adverse reaction on one and a normalising reaction on the other.

          And having a disorder in your dopamine system does not equate to having a neuroDEVELOPMENTAL disorder.

          Just like I’ve said, if you like doing methylphenidate and it helps you, go ahead, I’m not gonna judge. But give it a rest with the pathetic excuses.

              Oh yeah, you have a neurodevelopmental disorder that only manifests itself 20 years later, way after any sort of development has stopped happening.
