    It’s cool and I get why people who don’t need stimulants to function can be uncomfortable with them. It’s a really weird phenomenon. I don’t know of any other medication that does one thing for most people and the opposite for another group, much less when it primarily acts as a recreational and addictive drug for the first group and for the second it functions as a drug that we can forget we took until we notice that our symptoms are back in full force.

    I won’t claim that I’ve never gotten withdrawal after having to go off my stimulants but I will say that I’ve never noticed it when compared to my adhd being back in full force.
