ADHD and Stimulants - Morphh - Sep 18, 2024
Hello, HF users. This is a kind of random thread, but I'm genuinely curious. I have ADHD, as well as many other diagnoses I don't need to get into, and, well, it affects me like it would affect anyone with ADHD. I've got an appointment with ADHD services (basically mental health services but just for ADHD), and they're going to discuss my medication and which medication I should change to, which will be a stimulant.
So, I'm asking anyone on here if they have ever been on stimulants specifically for ADHD, how it made you feel, how it helped or didn't help you, and which one you were or are taking as well as any side-effects.
I didn't know where to post this, so I just went with Lounge.

Prescribed stimulants, no. Been using street amphetamine but that just makes me tweaky and talky. What helped was modafinil.

Interesting, thanks for your reply. Yeah, I've heard of amphetamine being used for getting "high" or helping ADHD. After abusing skunk and alcohol and not long kicking my addictions, I will definitely be staying far away from amphetamines. I just looked up modafinil did this help you be more alert/focused?
