Pretty sure that’s not meth, those are amphetamine or dextro-amphetamine. I’m not a chemist but the meth part makes a biiig difference in my experience. I love Adderall once and awhile for busy days, cleaning, hiking, whatever, but the only time I did meth I geeked the fuck out for 14 hours and nearly beat my dick to death, woke up 2 days late enrolled in college (years after school with no intention of going to college lol). It was fun and easy to see how people get so strung out on it but I was far from functional.
while i can appreciate that you’re at least respecting that medication choices are between a doctor and a patient, i would love for this myth that ADHD meds are meth to die.
there is only technically ONE ADHD medication which is meth, which is… methamphetamine, and as i understand it, it is prescribed very rarely and is quite different from illegal meth
adderal, ritalin, and other less frequently used stimulants are not called meth because they are not meth
this misinformation is harmful because it perpetuates the idea that illegal drugs are the same shit that people are taking for treatment, often for necessary functioning or quality of life, and also perpetuates the judgement of those people for taking those important medications. these associations or judgements can make. people reluctant to get diagnosed or treated, which can prevent them from living their lives to the fullest
Just curious… What would a healthy dose of methamphetamines be? Hypothetically, of course.
Whatever the doctor prescribed. A lot of ADHD meds are technically meth
