Why is there still such ignorance about the paradoxical effect of stimulants on people with ADHD.
Depression and anxiety lifts like magic when I have a low dose stimulant. The reason is my body is short of dopamine and nepenephrine. I am not short of seratonin and most people with ADHD are not. SSRI’s inhibit dopamine receptors ( they have been hijacked by the setatonin) usually making everything worse.
I’m so tired of the blatant ignorance and bullshit not to mention malpractice by doctors. They need educated. The cause incredible harm with zero accountability.Years of blatant abuse by an ignorant psychiatrist. My life and so many other women’s ruined by ignorance. Dr. fought me getting a correct diagnosis and refused to assist me.
I got off those horrible drugs, got a correct diagnosis and now I’m too old.
I wonder how the success rate has been for ex speed addicts who are being treated with stimulants for ADHD.
That would be interesting to know, but it doesn’t sound like it will happen. I don’t think the proper weight is attached to not treating ADHD. To me it sounds a lot like going to the emergency room with a broken leg and being told they won’t treat you until you can walk for six months, and by the way if you miss an appointment you get nothing. If someone really becomes a meth addict because it actually helps their ADHD albeit with an extremely dangerous administration, that is going to severely impact them and their families. The risk of using a stimulant prescription seems a fair alternative. I would have expected less stigma and better understanding of motivational differences for some people with ADHD from what I consider a great source of information.
