I didn’t take meds for most my life after being diagnosed around 5 because I couldn’t swallow pills. I finally decided to try them out when I got into law school and they were life changing. I moved a couple years later and didn’t get a new PCP until now, so it’s nice being back on them for sure

Bc the brain worms won't let me. They say that if I just exercise enough/eat right/etc, then I won't need meds (FALSE). They say that meds are a big pharma/government/corporate/whoever else scheme to control my brain and turn me into a complacent unquestioning sheep and stuff like that. (I'm also very mentally ill lmao) 🥲

idk if this helps but re: mind control let me just say that stimulants are not the kind of drug that makes you complacent. they make you more motivated to do stuff & they honestly make me question shit more because i can think clearer. as for the government, they are doing the opposite of pushing adderall. in fact there are shortages frequently because they have not raised the amount that can be made monthly despite more people being prescribed the meds

Yeah, it just took 3 weeks, a drug test, and getting drilled with questions about my job and life by my new PCP to get back on meds that I literally showed her an old prescription bottle for. Like how could I possibly make that up 😭
