Or: My Thoughts On Adderall, Let Me Tell You Them

Yesterday, I was perusing the internet instead of working, like one does. I came across this article about someone's struggle with Adderall (and other pills) addiction, and it wasn't so much that the article itself gave me pause but it was the comments.

I'm glad Adderall is working for you and screw people who want to bash meds without listening.

(I had a friend who asked me why I took Prozac -- she used natural stuff -- and I said "Because when I stop I get depressed." She said "So you're addicted to Prozac," and I had to bite back the words "No you moron that means it's working!" Plus her natural stuff wasn't working but I didn't say anything because... it wasn't my business! Funny how that works.)

Anyway, yeah, I'm glad things are going well for you.

Thank you ♥

Yeah, I've tried the natural stuff (St John's Wart? Melatonin for insomnia?) and sorry to say that crap doesn't quite cut it. Well, I've tried everything short of electroshock and really old school antidepressants, it seems.

Augh it really pisses me off when people accuse me (or other people) of using meds AS A CRUTCH. Excuse me??

At least you found a drug that works for you. Meds merry-go-rounds are the least amount of fun.

(What is your icon from - it is mesmerizing!)

It's from this German music video. It kills me every time, though perhaps because I'm secretly twelve.

NSFW lyrics, fansubbed.

EXACTLY.

It's a simple (well, not always) matter of tweaking brain chemistry!
