Straterra made me tired and drousy all day, I was sexually frustrated because my dick would REFUSE to get hard, and then I would wake up at night, not being able to sleep.

I'm 31 and madication free for 6 years, and have learned to overcome my ADHD on my own. Never swallowing a other ADHD pill again, fuck that shit entirely.

Cope with what exactly?

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Having to function in current society with ADHD I presume

I dono... I just always wanted to be normal, not rely on a drug that gives me undesirable side effects, and if I forget to take it, I have a terrible day.

I'm still trying to learn to fit in every day, and it's hard. I still slip up, and have my days some times. It's not going away either, but this is how I choose to do it

denial swimming in a sauce of selfneglect, selfabuse and alcoholism
