    They help but the side effects sometimes suck. Sweats/chills, lower blood pressure, etc. Worth it for the clarity I get though.

    My problem now is that I’m burnt out, which no drug is going to fix.

    Edit: it raises blood pressure and lowers your urination pressure. I mixed them up.

        I forget what it’s called but there is one medication that doesn’t act as a stimulant and is closer to that of an antidepressant

          Could be Bupropion or Atomoxetine. I’ve been on the former, but it didn’t do a lot for my ADHD. It did give me a wonderful few weeks filled with panic attacks and having my mind convinced that every little ache I felt must be because I was dying of something. Of course everybody responds differently, so don’t let that deter you if it is prescribed, but for me I never want to touch that stuff again.
