2·1 year agoThat’s an interesting perspective. I hadn’t thought of that, thanks.

1·1 year agoI definitely didn’t mean to scare you or make you feel insecure. I’m sorry about that. But for me, without medication, it was the same: I was really tired all the time and could basically fall asleep anytime and anywhere. I would even get bouts of tiredness while driving, and I would ask my wife to keep going under the pretext of needing a break. I was also a little ashamed of being constantly tired, even in the most inappropriate situations. In those moments, I was more concerned with the thought of falling asleep at the handlebars while driving and thus endangering not only myself but everyone else on the road. Of course, I don’t know how severe your pressure to sleep is in your situations. For me, it was and probably still is enormous without medication.

5·1 year agoThe cocaine thing wasn’t meant literally. I was just exaggerating 😉. I just imagine that people without ADHD might act more like they have ants in their pants when taking Elvanse. But I have to admit, I do miss that feeling a little after I took Elvanse for the first time.

2·1 year agoYes, there’s probably something to that. Maybe I need more time to better assess and get to know everything. Thanks for the words, anyway.

The more I think about it, you might be right.
