Every prescription ADHD drug I tried gave me anxiety and made me pee every 20-40 minutes. Then I’d get more anxiety because I’d have to pee so often. It also made all my normal habits into unhealthy habits. Ever since I took any meds, I’ve been unable to drink coffee now without the same issues.
Now I just raw dog life. People either accept me as I am or I just stop talking to them because no prescribed pill or social pressure is worth it for me anymore. At least I’m happier now.
Wait, drugs work for you guys? 😔

Hey, you mentioned not being able to drink coffee - were you able to drink coffee normally without the negative effect once you stopped taking meds?
Not really, no. Although I don’t know if that is the result of ADHD meds, the antidepressants I used to take or just aging in general.
I love the smell of fresh coffee but caffeine just doesn’t agree with my body anymore. I’ve switched over to herbal and red teas now.
I am somewhat functioning with the help of copious amounts of coffee. Terrifying to think of life without this crutch.
Vyvanse does for me. None of the others really helped much.
Only a little :/ tried concerta and elvanse so far.
