Not really. It was over diagnosed and prolly still is in the US. Problems tend to arise when doctors have a financial motive to prescribe any specific drug. Adderal shouldn't ever be the first drug to treat ADD and monitoring for side-effects like weight loss is standard when people know what they are doing. There are a lot of bad doctors. Either they are incompetent or they simply don't care.
Vengeance isn't my thing and I'd still voluntarily live another hour like this just to watch limitles get raped by a rabid chimp once.
It should also be added that it's not really the drugs fault that people suck at using them. I'm all for blaming inanimate objects for doing stuff, but i just don't understand how it's possible.
If it helps you to get sober and stay sober i guess it's better than organized religion, but at some point you're going to have to take some responsibility for your own actions.
yeah if a drug is out a while that has cheaper generic option (like ritalin when i was diagnosed) they push the new thing. Like I said, they are literally evil. Deserving of eternal hell. If any of you has kids and somebody wants to put them on one of these amphetamine clones, please don't... at least try it first, it's a fucking drug drug. I'm 34, go to a site where kids hang out... they're all on this shit now. It's just a casual thing, like, "oh shit i gotta study for finals lol my friend gave me adderall" literally EVERY kid under 25 has a friend on it. On top of the kids on speed, 1 in 6 adults is on some kind of psychiatric medicine. It's all bullshit. It's like something out of a sci fi book. It's completely fucked and wrong. And also, Sandy Hook, Columbine, the asian Virginia kid, probably Paddock, the colorado movie shooter... thanks Psychiatric Medicine
the sandy hook kid is exactly what i looked like but more handsome
also, the side effects ... not gas, indigestion or anything... SUICIDE.
people are unhappy in the modern world and we are supposed to take pills to hide our thoughts and feelings so we can continue to work. They put drug commercials on TV "ask your doctor about..." i remember one for "shift work disorder" or something... basically a pill for people who have to work the night shift? I always wondered, do you think some guy working 3rd shift at a grocery store saw that commercial and called up a doctor and said, "hey i saw this commercial on TV about the night shift disorder. i work the night shift, and I'm interested in taking this new drug I saw in a commercial watching Dog the Bounty Hunter in the break room at 3 am."

i cant remember many things jello biafra has said that i do not find myself in agreement with.
honestly me too, i have a tendency to be contrarian on the internet I'm not a reagan republican like i pretend sometimes. i saw The Melvins in 03 i think and Jello was surprise guest, he did California Uber Alles with modified Schwarzeneggar lyrics. he seems like an asshole irl but great lyricist and frontman

Yea it's pretty fucked up and no one seems to learn anything about the last drug epidemic ever. Stimulants have hit epidemic levels at least twice already. First as miracle weight cure or to just cheer the day of a bored housewife and few decades later as cure for ADHD/ADD. Somewhere between those were barbiturates and benzos. After came the opiates.
It's not all just the lobbying that enabled marketing and other associated crap since there have been issues even before that, but it's not helping and it enables the problems to hit faster and in a larger scale. Part of the issue is that people still trust their doctors unconditionally. Sometimes they might know better, but what good does it do if they care about their bottom line more than your well being.
All of the aforementioned drug families have a definite place in medicine for now except barbiturates (other drugs do what they do better with less dying as a side effect). It's just that while they are vital for some patients they are detrimental to others. The job part of the doctors is finding out which one it is. You can't really have too much push or pull towards either over prescribing or under prescribing. Otherwise it fucks up with the balance.
I'm of the belief, "Only take it if you really need it" when it comes to medication.
If it's marginal, I err on the side of not taking it -- for both myself and Benjamin.
I'm not one of those whack jobs who distrusts all modern medicine and/or is paranoid about every medicatio. However, I also realize that many doctors are either incompetent, disinterested, or corrupt, and I want to do research myself before taking anything that's prescribed.
Often the "cure" really is worse than the malady -- especially if the cure is incorrect to begin with.
For a European reading this forum the amount of prescription drug use that's discussed here is astonishing
The USA's health system really is the nut low
After having been around this site either lurking or as a member for the last 3 years I have to say, I had no idea how fucked up some of you really are.

Alright, explain with some specificity what you are referring to if you can hobble back to the keyboard.
Any of you guys into coffeemaxxing? I remember feeling pretty godly while drinking 9 cups of coffee per day. Might try coffeemaxxing again see where that leads me. Only problem is when you want to quit. Caffeine withdrawals are way worse thank meth withdrawals, believe it or not.
I hate that meth has to be a gateway drug to coffee y'all.
Coffee abuse and reading is how I coped with quitting weed and drinking. I drink a lot of coffee every day, and caffeinated soft drinks. I used to drink 2 energy drinks a day (monsters, rockstars or N05 random flavors i liked to mix it up) but coffee is cheap and doesn't make you look like a douchebag. I plan on eliminating sugary drinks from my diet next. I'm worried about my teeth, I also quit cigs and have been using a vape but I've done that a few times and always go back. Doesn't hurt to try though.
Just relapsed. Its tough because you realize 1 blast will make you feel way better than its possible to feel without it. I think i'll stick to 1 blast though, because that first blast makes you feel like god but after that all yer dopamine is used up and it aint doing you any good. Had a solid 9 day sober run tho. How are yall doing?
I think the most important thing is to make sure nobody knows that yer using.
An Update....I’ll keep it brief. I am still figuring out most, if not all, of this. This is unpleasant - there is no miracle contained in the next few paragraphs....
The Adderall: 2 steps forward, 5 steps back. I can easily abstain for 5 days, then I find myself on a 2 day bender. I don’t have the ability to completely dispose of all of my Rx, yet. It’s somehow become the reward I am allowing myself every few days for living, otherwise virtuously.
Self-Exclusion: I finally pulled the trigger - 6 online card rooms, my local casino and disinvited myself permanently from the two home games I play in. Lifetime bans. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to mourn my status levels, points and comps.
I am attending 3 AA meetings, 2 GA meetings and 2 online GA meetings a week. I am no closer to God, I think most of it is a ritualistic bunch of shit....but I am sticking to the schedule and the structure is forcing me to stay righteous.
I finally spoke in the last GA meeting I attended. What a train wreck. I explained, in no uncertain terms, that my biggest issue was not gambling - it was that I still felt superior to the others in the room. I explained that I my ego is the issue. I told the group I could not relate to scrounging my last pennies together to buy scratch off tickets. I explained that I still felt in control of my out of control life. As I was talking, I froze out of fear - the fear in realizing how full of shit I really was. I then admitted, that I realized how fucked my thinking REALLY is and that as long as I still felt I was better than the rest of the group, I need to keep attending.
I am the master of “Fake it Until You Make It,” so by looking at me - its hard to see the storm brewing inside. I am hopefully optimistic that things will improve....and so it goes, for now.
Kilgore Trout, best dupe of the decade

Not much of a post but ...
Kilgore writes good. She is able to put you in her place. So you wonder what you would do in her shoes.
I'm pretty compulsive and competitive about everything too. I can't even make the bed without making it an exercise in perfection. I procrastinate about things I predict I won't excel in but I digress.
I have smoked on and off my whole life. Never had a bad cigarette. I'll quit for a decade then something will happen and I'm back. The thing that helped quitting was working out. You ain't gonna go through that much pain and trouble and blow it with a cigarette. Always worked.
I think I saw it suggested here that you need to replace one addiction with another. The ego and your build leads me to think you'd be a good athlete. Racqetball, tennis, running, working out. Most guys work out to get bigger. Women work out to manage weight which isn't your problem. Competitive sports lend themselves to trash talk and comradery. Trash talk should play to your strength.
I love recreational racquetball. There is a huge element of trash talk and ego. It's fast enough and complex enough that you have to be in the moment. A great escape unlike fag sports like golf. I've often come off the court after so many hours so gassed my hands are shaking. Fucking love it. Lotta gyms offer it. Good way to meet people too.
A lot of racquetball courts have a little box set into the wall that people put spare racqetballs in or whatever. They are often deep enough for an ashtray which is great.
Some weak sauce but that's what I was thinking about.
also i got a prescription when i went and got a physical 2 weeks ago for extended release adderal this bitch is not lying they are goat
like they literally just make u more productive at whatever ur job is i got the 10mg so i dont end up a destroyed husk of a person but well played kilgore
