I had the exact same reaction and i don't trust that sentiment, i think i'm just hoping for a singular miracle pill that i can take and it will solve all my issues.
Still thought it was worth a try but even getting an appointment with a psychologist of any kind was tough, so here i am still unmedicated even though i relate to a lot of ADD symptoms
I can add an unfortunate example in the opposite direction: I've been having trouble getting my prescription filled so I haven't had my meds for more than a month
My handwriting has deteriorated observably (my phone is actually having trouble recognizing my swipe-typing gestures, too) and my living space is in shambles. Fuck the DEA.
The DEA needs to be dismantled and have all those tax dollars put to better use.
I take ADD drugs for a central nervous system disorder(they keep me awake) and my Dr is really worried about me not being able to get them since I can't work without them. I know folks with ADD need them to function too(drs are prescribing my less used medication to replace adderall) so now everyone's suffering because some douchbags in the DEA decided drs are the enemy.
My drs office just got audited by the DEA so all her patients on stimulants and painkillers had to do urine drug tests.
Sorry for the rant. But seriously, defund the DEA.
