As someone who was once told by a neurologist that I was the poster child for ADHD, I find it a lot less clean cut than “stimulants are basically downers for you.” I took addy for school but I also partied fuckin’ HARD on it. There’s like a middle dose that mellowed me out, but ROI, dosage, and what was in my system had a lot to do with it. I don’t take amphets anymore, medicinally or otherwise. Last time I tried I thought i was gonna have a heart attack.
If you read the link, you’ll see stimulants are downers for ADHD is not what anyone is saying. The perceived relative calm of a focused mind when properly dosed is perceived as being a downer, when in fact, it is just proper function.
Some “make-me-awake”-drugs make me sleep. Take that, science!
You might have ADHD.

I know that I do, was kind of the joke. But thanks for suggesting.

I pass out so hard after Vyvanse. I’ve literally taken it to sleep before. Not the best sleep but its sleep!
