Having ADHD, Adderall has helped me so much you wouldn't even understand. My life was rotting before i found out i had ADHD. Because i was thinking im just lazy and a loser because i wasn't like everyone else.
@zmizzy ADD is one of the most crippling things you can have if it’s really bad. You literally can know what you have to do in life but can’t do it. Everyone will call you lazy and “you just aren’t trying” but your body runs off of brain chemicals and if you don’t get dopamine you can’t do anything that requires effort, at all. There’s no motivation to do anything. I got to the point where I realized I didn’t like conversation with people because it didn’t feel good, but it did for everyone else. People overlook things like ADD and think it’s no big deal. It’s life crippling and one of the worst things you can have.
@zmizzy yes. Adhd is linked with a 3 fold risk of developing dementia, and stimulants are shown to remove that risk. Also, adhd reduces your lifespan on average by over 10 years due to unhealthy choices and stress. Adderall removes those risks as well. So if anything, adderall may lead to a longer and healthier life.
People with ADHD have dopamine deficiencies in the brain. The constant mental chattering and lack of focus is a result of the brain trying to stimulate itself into having more "normal" levels of dopamine. A stimulant obviously raises dopamine, which has a speed-like effect in a neurotypical brain, but the right dose can actually have a CALMING effect on an ADHD brain.
I had no idea what ADHD was until I was like mid 20s. As soon as I heard about it I thought "yeah, I definitely have that". But I didn't bother doing anything about it because I didn't expect medication or anything else to help that much. Age 47 I finally got fed up with my own shit and got diagnosed. First day on adderall I felt like someone waking up from a 47 year coma.
I think Joe is kinda missing the point. Although he scored really well on the test, he only did so when time wasn't a factor. This indicated that he had trouble with staying focused and managing his time, which can actually be a real problem. I'm not saying Adderall doesn't get overprescribed, but I've met some people who clearly have issues with managing their time and attention, and it really disrupts their quality of life. It's not about how smart you are, it's about your ability to use your attention appropriately. Some people will know they need to get something important done, but then go off on a tangent for something completely unimportant and end up not doing the important thing.
Joe isn't a doctor and he doesn't know the studies, but they do over prescribed it. I remember being 6 or 7 and then getting prescribed that stuff, but it turns out I wasn't add ADHD I was bipolar
@@jimmymetal713 Bipolar and ADHD used to get misdiagnosed as the other. Likewise, General Practitioners tend to not stay up on their studies and mental health is making strides all the time. So, the real issue is doctors not understanding ADHD as well as the psychiatrists, neurologists or pediatricians. Some one with bi-polar is also going to react poorly to stimulants as the stimulants would trigger their mania.
Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double-check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
As someone who had sever ADHD, and got aderall at 17 (now 24) it has completely transformed my life. I have held my job for 5 years as a manager, and have a girlfriend who I’m happy with. Do some cardio and. Watch your health, I wouldn’t change. It for anything.
They did the same to me, talked to a therapist and taken the assessments, score genius level at 11 years old. But I also suffered from undiagnosed ADHD, and spent my life in a miserable condition of being smart but not able to use it to any benefit because I couldn’t focus. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and the medication made my life go to easy mode. I’m productive and calmer, I can think about what I am doing, and not be distracted by every little thing around me, I can assess what is going on around me and respond in minutes instead of hours. It’s a great thing when you need it, I don’t recommend taking it if you’re “normal”.
dude, its like you are me, but i am thirty three, recently diagnosed. one thing i noticed, taking ritalin daily, is that i plan much more ahead and i am calmer, playing the drums nearly every day now, less yelling and weird outbreaks. this is huge contrast to alcohol which makes one even more stuck in the here and now and since i take ritalin alcohol consumption is almost zero, also i stopped smoking cigarettes. but to be able to focus on the future is the big win for me. i am very glad this works for me.
Have been diagnosed with the same and on and off of medication for most of my teen/adult life… whether I need it or not the side effects are not worth it. I hated the way I felt physically and mentally when taking said medication. I swear it’s like speed and at high doses nottt good. It ruins your oral health, takes away your appetite, speeds your heartbeat up, nausea, headaches, and so on. I get it, when I take it I can tell it’s “working” but 8+ hours later I start to feel crappy
I just want to be clear...my experience with Adderall has been a calming effect, not like speed or anything like that. I used to be all over the place, and unable to put my thoughts together. I can actually put my thoughts in compartments now, and think more clearly. I agree its not for everyone but has been a game changer for me...
its because in adhd, specifically hyperactive and super impulsive adhd, the circuits for inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are linked. So if you activate one, you activate them all, if blunt one, you blunt the rest. If your nominal level of activity when overstimulated is well beyond that of what you would normally experience from the medication, then the net result is that the circuit is less active than it would othewise be.
same, my life was legitimately a shitshow and it really helps me think in a "linear" way with complex or time based tasks. now a software engineer after 3 years of dedication and structure (the meds aren't wholly the reason, they're just a great tool if your brain operates like this with time)
As someone who has sever ADHD it isn’t an excuse it is real and honestly I hate to say it but I can’t live without it and be a functioning adult. You certainly can live without weed or alcohol and even psychedelics so I’m not entirely sure where Joe’s Priority’s are.
I’m the same way. I was diagnosed at 5 in now 35 and have been put on every adhd med on the market. I’m on Vyvanse now and without it I am all over the place. With these adhd med shortages, I have so much anxiety when my script is ready to fill. There’s no way I can perform at work at the level I do without it. It’s a hell of a thing to hinge being able to provide for your family on a single pill. Those who don’t have ADHD cannot begin to fathom what we go through.
There is such a stigma in my family about ADHD, so only my sister knows I'm on Ritalin. I've struggled with weed for a long time, and since I'm actually diagnosed and taking the medicine, I feel so at peace and at ease. However, I sometimes still spiral out of control due to my earlier coping mechanisms. I've always thought it was BS: "It's normal to feel like this," "It's OK to be different," "I like my creativity." But now, I can actually put my mind into things and (many times) finish what I start. It still feels like a cheat code to life, to be honest. The only real confirmation for me is that the way I feel and act now is how I know my friends feel and act. I've felt so disorganized and like a failure sometimes. Even if my friends did the same things as me, I knew they were more focused. I thought I was just lazy and messy. I did always have moments of hyper-focus, which actually were very good for my career. But those moments, I think, were mostly because I self-medicated with weed. The focus could be there for 30 minutes, and then gone the next minute. Now, I'm steady. At first, I was a bit over-energized, but since the dosage was set and I've adjusted to it, it's very stable. Also, I'm a lot less introverted. The crazy thing is that I'm pretty sure my dad and both brothers have ADHD too, but they have different coping mechanisms. Alcohol for one of them, and excessive exercise for the others. I think that whenever somebody exercises, they will feel content afterward and have peace of mind for a moment. So actually, I think I'm maybe hacking my laziness. It is important to note that where i live we cannot get adderal, we have methylphenidate
Society needs to stop generalizing everyone and painting everyone with the same brush. There are some children with some forms of ADHD that need medication. That is a decision that should be made after extensive testing with a qualified specialist. Not all children need to be medicated, but making blanket statements that no children with ADHD should be medicated is unfair.
@zmizzy I mean this interview is just total bullshit. Getting diagnosed adult adhd and getting my adderall medication changed my life. If this dude has a problem with psychoactive drugs SSRIs are the fucking devil.
Having issues with time and attention means you don’t get anything done, Joe. You set goals but don’t meet them. You commit to specific task completion, but then fall off and don’t complete any of them. If you need glasses, it’s because your opticular lens is abnormal. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb, it just means you need glasses to see better. Adderall for someone with ADHD helps them function better. We can sit and complete tasks without distraction. We have calm thoughts and become better listeners. There are so many benefits and you don’t feel like you are sub par
it really is like glasses in a lot of ways, but i think a major difference is that it doesnt simply fix all your problems. at the end of the day, you still have adhd and no matter what meds you take or how perfect they are for you, symptoms will still present. unlike glasses, therapy (in some form) is also required to understand how to operate with those meds if you want to be "20/20"
@@gaugea I think that analogy fits it well since (for me at least) all it does is bring me to like a baseline there was no euphoric effect or huge epiphany the only side effect I had was dry mouth so i just drank a little bit more water.
@@pppearr thats good. unfortunately i get a few annoying side effects (extremely low appetite, tunnel vision, tachycardia, increased anxiety) but i cant rly complain, its definitely well worth it
ehh, slowly building up habits sober and taking your time especially removing distractions seems way healthier than taking straight dopamine to get wired just to complete work. Health should be a priority not chemicals that alter your natural functioning ways. I get some people lack the chemicals in the brain or what not, but taking something everyday just to become dependant than one day have to get off it seems pointless and it seems to work better as a tool every so often. Nice to have around on a rainy day.

So I know this isn’t something to flaunt or be proud of Lmfao but I have BAD adhd and was put on adderall back in march. Literally changed my life, for the better, the constant inner monologue in my head is gone, the urgent need to always be doing or saying something is gone, the ability to sit and actually have a calm mind is finally with me
As someone with severe adhd and went untreated for most of my life, this clip shows how ignorrant Joe Rogan is about things like adhd and adderall. Adhd is all about executive function developmemt and dopamine uptake issues. Stimulants help support our dopamine uptake so we can function more normal. Like glasses for the brain. We do not get the same negative effect that nuerotypical brains get from these drugs. If you don't gave adhd, then you have no idea why these drugs are crucial for our condition.
Exactly this. This narrative that adderall is poisoning the population is harmful to people that need this to get their dopamine up to other people’s base line… A quote from a friend that really helped me realize how BS this stigma is “if adderall is so addictive for me, than why do I forget to take it all the time” 😂 people who are walking around with ADHD have an entirely different chemical reaction happening in their brain than non-ADHD people, that’s why they’re prescribed it.
I do have severe ADHD and still agree with Rogan's view. Treating ADHD as a desease rather than a character trait is something I find irresponsible. In natural survival situations we people with ADHD would have a huge advantage. When I am looking at potential prey in front of me and from the back there is a bear coming, considering ME as prey, I WANT to be easily distracted. The thing is that our society developed into a direction where things that used to be strengths are not needed anymore and even seen as weaknesses. IMO people with ADHD are just less adapted to a sick society. Does that make us sick?
@@magnusfreebornnot quite, a small increase in Dopamine can increase motivation & enforce healthy habits under the right dose & under supervision. But a high dose may cause a high like destructive affect. Same as a sample of red wine might make you slightly relaxed but a full bottle could make you angry & violent. Dosage makes the poison.
@@cameroncroker2936 You’re getting high. That’s it. You don’t need speed or red wine to be more productive or focused. Lol. If you like getting high just say that, I’m not judging, I love snorting ketamine, but I don’t sugarcoat it like it somehow makes me better than I am when I’m sober. It makes life more fun. That’s it. Call it what it is. You’re not medicating shit other than mundanity of life.
I hate when people downplay adhd or just talk about the more “known” thing which is not staying focused & being hyper like that’s not the only things that come with adhd.. it’s so much more & it’s actually a dark side to it.
Exactly!!! It’s literally has a really dark side.. the attention part etc are the just the top of the iceberg. No one talks about the really dark side of it. Adhd is real and it’s not just about lacking focus etc.
Drugs should not be the first solution but it’s wrong to stigmatise it. I’ve recently been on it for ADHD after struggling through life and it feels like my life has changed. I’m now actually able to get up and go shower without first debating on if I should do it now or later then getting overwhelmed and not doing anything.
Medications are first line treatment due to their safety profile and efficacy. Unmedicated adhd has side effects and consequences that people seem to forget. Other interventions are great to try such as diet, exercise, social skills training, family education, mindfulness, but are less effective and can take much longer to occur, also require much more engagement long term from family/patient/child rather than the convenience of a pill or two a day which a timer can be set for
Just did adderall for the first time today doctors prescription I have very bad adhd never admitted it to myself until I realized failing every class and not being able to do even a single assessment may not be normal I think it’s helping I’ve alway hated the idea of medication thought it’s the worst thing a person can do but I don’t feel I have a choice at this point.
I have severe ADHD, I used to feel exactly as you do. That is because misinformed general practitioners and general public don't understand ADHD and why stimulants help us. Stimulants help your dopamine uptake, which then regulates your focus and executive functions better. It won't remove all of your ADHD issues, but it will help with your ability to concentrate, control your impulsivity, and such. Stimulants are like glasses for your brain. Go look up videos from Dr. Russell Barkley, he is a leading ADHD expert and the knowledge he has out there is essential to learning how your ADHD brain functions.
@@somedudeonyoutube3737 ok I guess its not been some miracle cure but besides just feeling like a strong long lasting cup of coffee it kinda puts me in a mindset that makes me be able to work I used to have an all or noting kind of thinking like I wouldn’t be able to get a essay done because how can I write 5000 words in one sitting I look at the whole instead of just focusing on doing chunks I now seems just just not even think of the whole and just start working sometimes. I’ve had no overwhelming academic change though but many factors play into that like I’ve started a new job but thanks for asking hope this helps somehow.
I had a buddy that was prescribed adderall as a teen and he became extremely addicted with some really bad mental side effects. Pretty much ruined his life for a long time.
It's great for being productive but after a while, it's nice to have peace and slow down. Not to mention the horrible mental state you will be left with such as manic episodes or paranoia through long term use or abuse. Better as a tool for boring and repetitive tasks that require your attention for multiple hours, studying, and maybe partying lol. Although it seems gamers love it too XD.
ADHD here, it's more than time and attention. like impulses get you in trouble and in life. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. Been an Adderall for 20years and it feels great not to have those issues and succeed.
@@homelessrobotand also I have bad adhd u can do ANYTHING but the amount of cortisol you release doing it or trying to, will give you at least schizophrenia in 5-10 years
I firmly believe that smart drugs for adhd are made to help those with the disorder be able to function in society. Remember, ADHD is the difficulty to focus/complete tasks and that is exacerbated if the person isn’t interested in the task. So I do definitely stand by it if you’re doing tasks that you can care less about.
As a kid that was medically diagnosed with adhd. Adderall when I actually took it as a 10+ year old all it did was make me zone out everything but what my tasks were (classwork). Iv always been curious about my friends who took it but didn't have adhd cause they would say they got "high" of it 😅 I never had that experience
It makes them feel like Superman, like they are guaranteed to succeed in anything that attempt, they feel overwhelmingly confident and their words flow outta their mouth before they even think of them. Time feels slowed and whatever they are currently doing becomes the whole of their world, some say they gain a level of clarity that makes realty go from looking like 1080 to 4K, their energy seem unlimited, and their a lightness to their bodies. (This is some of the descriptors I got from friends, I like you do not experience the effects at normal dosages)
I was put on adderal as a kid horror followed im 39 sober clean bye grace of God survived prisons...my whole life locked up i was a pot head theyd give me prison for it then force me on pills
Hey, I just want to say that the reason they prescribe Adderall to children is because the dopamine and more epinephrine it releases into the body actually helps with the neuroplasticity in the brain. So if the child keeps taking enough Adderall with guidance from a doctor and is given the right supplementation and is closely monitored primarily by a psychiatrist than later on in life, they are likely to not need Adderall anymore. I wasn't fortunately taken off my medication to early and now have to take it as an adult. However, since I am under the age of 25, there may be a chance within the next few years that the neuroplasticity in my brain from development will allow me to not take Adderall in the future and still be functioning
Not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have a credible source? I am now taking adderall, and it doesn’t help me as much. I am an alcoholic pit head but I remember buying it from friends back in the day and back them I was still a big pot head but it worked WONDERS back then when I wasn’t prescribed it. I don’t think it’s a dosage issue I think it’s the fact that I take the adderall for granted and expect it to do all the work. I need to realize that it’s still all up to me to get up and go be productive. Back when I wasn’t prescribed the meds, focalin, adderall, and vyvance made me feel so good and I would get tons of homework done. I’d go for a walk or bike ride and the grass would be so green, the sky so blue, the air so crisp. It was pure bliss. I wouldn’t take a huge dose or anything just slightly above or at the starting dose for most people. Even when I got prescribed Ritalin at first and then vyvance it never hit the same. By the time my doc gave me adderall, it just didn’t do what it used to before I was prescribed it. I don’t even take it everyday, I just got my script refilled and I still have twenty, 20mg pills left so that would be 10 days worth since I’m prescribed twice daily as needed. I don’t take it everyday and when I do take it I rarely take the full 40mgs that I’m prescribed since I have hyper hydrosis so the adderall makes me sweat profusely. Not only is sweating a side effect of adderall but increased anxiety is also a side effect. I already have social anxiety, due to the fact that I got bullied for being an annoying hyper active kid when I was really little. I’m not as hyper active anymore but sometimes I still can be. Anyways, with my social anxiety I find that the sweating is what really makes me anxious. It’s sucks because I’ll get just slightly anxious, and then start sweating. I don’t even notice the anxiety before I start sweating but once I have noticeable pit stains I become really anxious which makes my anxiety SOO much worse which makes me sweat SOO much more. It’s a super vicious cycle that I cannot escape and adderall just makes that worse so I try to only take adderall when I’m studying alone or if I’m at school or work I only take it when I absolutely need to. Sorry if you read all of this I just had to vent. My life fucking sucks and it’s all my fault and I want to stop being a failure and it brings me so much anguish and I just wish I could be a productive person. Fuck man
I believe it may have worked for me. As I took it for 6 months as a teenager consistently, and then went off of it for good. I haven’t had trouble staying focused since. So maybe it worked, all I know is that while I was on it I felt like a complete zombie and would never have my kids take that drug.
When I was prescribed adderall, I was excited thinking I would get so much done and be productive but in reality I feel like Stewie on that episode of family guy zoinked out like zombie
Sounds like a drug addict lol. I see the same people who say the same thing about opioids “they changed my life and made me not worry so much and feel like myself”
Its perfectly normal for a person to score higher on a test with out time constraints. Removing time constraints from a test allows individuals to work at their own pace, reducing anxiety and pressure. This freedom often enables a more thorough understanding of questions, leading to better responses. Without time limitations, individuals have the chance to think more critically, double check their answers, and demonstrate a deeper comprehension of the material, resulting in potentially higher scores compared to when constrained by time.
since we all clearly have add or adhd in the comments can someone exploain why mine is causing jaw clenching an grinding of teeth i always feel like people are looking at me when i am doing it but im doing it for relief not because i like doing it but it seems to be connected to my add medication anyone with any thoughts on this or if it happens to you or a remedy to it
When I got prescribed, the only way I could describe the experience of my first dose was like time slowed down to 1/2 speed. Everything felt quiet, I moved with intention, my anxiety was gone, and generally everything felt way less overwhelming. It genuinely changed my life. I thought I was going to end up losing my job with how unstable and incapable I was. ADHD is way, way more than just focus. It’s the emotional issues, the lack of motivation, the constant search for dopamine, avoiding or forgetting things that are extremely important to take care of as an adult, the list just goes on. I always struggled in school so it definitely made sense once I got that diagnosis at 27, and then actually getting medicated for it confirmed it all. It’s unfairly demonized IMO but that’s the way it goes when a drug is abused by people that don’t need it 🤷♀️ But there’s also just a lot of misconceptions on what ADHD actually is as Joe is exhibiting
*I'll recommend you to this mycologist who has been my guide on psychedelic for years now,dude gots all kinds of psychedelics in his store and ship discreetly to any location*
DOMO ARIGATO ❤ I have a very similar experience from your guess my take is if you have a speed cocaine addiction this would not be a safe solution but if you didn’t have the abnormal reaction causing euphoria when you take this medication it could work very well for focus, reading especially and remedial tasks I am considering a medication but I have the same concerns on long term effects of speed on the brain 🧠
I feel like I’ve always had ADHD, but I’ve never thought about Adderall until recently with my work. It is really hard to stay focused with the repetitive task I do all day. Weed helps me with these tasks, but I cannot smoke anymore. Months ago when I was in the doctors office I mentioned I may have ADHD and they pretty much brushed it off. What do I do here? I’ve never tried Adderall before, but I want to just see if it would help my day to day.
I'm seriously considering trying this because I'm so ADHD. I can't even type right. Just now my phone beeped had to think real hard what I was just doing (literally typing this very sentence). I am going to talk to my doctor obviously and do it legit but I'm also pretty sure I have autism. I did like three different online tests now and nearly maxed them all out.
YO i could recommend you to a specialist who guided me through My Adderall experience he’s got all kinda psychedelics product an ships discreetly worldwide can also guide you through if you're a newbie 😊
I took a lot of Adderall in high school. Took it on the college exams and scored like 21 out of 36 on the SAT or whatever its called. Pretty bad. It was timed though too. Timed testing is stupid and a horrible way to test someones intelligence
Does adhd make u feel like if u lay still 100s thoughts go round your head to point u couldent tell any one what rhey are because they are too fast oe when u r out u look at every one every rhing too much and cant take in its making me suicidal
My adhd makes me forgot that time is essential, therefore in testing and studying scenarios my mind is all over the place. Adderall helped keep me grounded.
@@durpledorekapre3991 it being helpful to you doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Knives are very useful tools when applied correctly. And a good way to turn your hand into a bloody stump if you are careless.
I find it very concerning when individuals misuse ADHD medication for recreational purposes without being diagnosed with ADHD. This is unfair to those who genuinely need the medication to improve their focus and concentration on daily tasks. The medication is intended to help people with ADHD feel normal and enable them to complete their daily activities with ease. It is not a substance to be used recreationally. Sadly, some people fail to understand this, leading to its misuse, which is highly frustrating.
Nah with executive disfunction he may not be able to use those smarts. Addy helps to allow him to do so. A stimulant upper like adderal is certainly not going to reduce his off the chart scores lol
*I'll recommend you to this mycologist who has been my guide on psychedelic for years now,dude gots all kinds of psychedelics in his store and ship discreetly to any location*
Dang dude. I think Joe Rogan typically doesn't interrupt quite this bad. But there were a few Times I was very interested in where the guest was going and Joe stopped him or interrupted.
Adderall is the perfect drug for programmers that are not trying to be creative, but are trying to build something very technical. It is good for mathematics, where there are no ambiguities in answers and the goal is to break it down to its least common denominator. It is good for something like technical, legal writing. It is good for physical acumen, more energy. It is overall good for people that truly have ADHD/autism. It is not good for creativity. It can instill a false sense of greatness in this avenue, where upon further look, the work is often mediocre, if not subpar. Adderall, in general, is good for a person that really needs it. It is terrible drug to use regularly, and even worse if the person taking it does not need it.
Agreed, great tool for when something repetitive or something that requires thinking, or even while recreational gaming but if you are trying to create something new or think out of the box, it can definitely affect your ego and inflate it til you look foolish. Even if you take too much before a social setting, you may become agitating or just over confident, or god forbid aggressive :0
for sure adderall could make you lose your critical lens. i could totally relate to that. you become super grandios and happy and everything is awesome cuz you feel so good . inhibitions go to zero and delusional confidence goes through the roof. you can lose a lot of social awareness and ability to read the room.
listen, scoring on tests that test ur stored knowledge about the things they teach, not about focus or social skills. if u have adhd because of childhood education then perhaps it is for u. kids need education, education is not math. education is how to love, how to function, what the real goal is here. all they teach at school is how to run their world. if u were lucky and were able to exert all ur energy properly and also taught life skills like life isn't always fun then u don't need it. but at this point as an adult u need to take care of u. if Joe isn't on it because he doesn't need it then he'll never know how to judge it. it just is that way w/ this.
Being a gifted child is a double edge sword, and only exacerbated by adhd. Even for neurotypical children with high IQs, the fact that the first 5-8 years of school is a breeze means you don't actually bother developing the study habits that the other kids needed in order to just make it. So you find your self in highschool or college, staring at the material going "what what the fuck am i supposed to do with this?". And nobody will help you because you are 'gifted'.
methamphetamine is a prescribed medication for children with adhd under Desoxyn... and Fentanyl is prescribed to people under extreme pain. they are useful, but use wisely
meth also causes the release of serotonin which makes it infinitely more neurotoxic and addictive in small doses, kind of like the difference inbetween ritalin (dopamine and norepinepherine reuptake inhibition) and cocaine (dopamine+norepenipherine+serotonin)
It is important to be cautious, but Rogan seems anti-medication when he states, "Thank god your mom stepped in" in opposition to getting the prescription, it seems like he immediately assumes only the worse and doesn't even consider the alternative, that it would be beneficial.
I tried that shit once Years back (like 25yrs or so) and ya, I was focused on what I was doing, but I couldn't stand still for shit. At the time I was working as a automotive detailer and I remember just flying through cars that day like it was nothing. My heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out of my damn chest. The high was like I was doing line after line of cocaine for like 15-20hrs straight just to come down harder than hell. Think I slept for like 12hrs after coming down from Adderall. Tbh, that shit actually scared me to the point I never wanted to ever see that shit again. I was about 20 when I tried it and I'm happy to say I never touched that shit since and I'm 46 now.
2:00 Joe says "youre just a laid back, off the charts dude. isnt that okay?" unfortunately, in the current system of school grading, no. Being that way leads to low grades, which in turn ruins your future. Not bashing JRE, the best podcast host ever, its just i think he fails to understand what impact school has for people without celebrity status
Wait what joe make no sense dude did poorly on the test within time as average kid if he didn't get distracted hed finish fast and high score i do think he need more tests then that though cuz low sleep that day could have caused it ive heard lack sleep cause similar symptoms to adhd as well
What a distasteful conversation. No talk about executive function, organization. Adderall has helped me in so many ways. Don’t scare people for getting help. Our brains are just different and typically speaking adhd folks are super creative and a a lot of people have it. It’s neurodivergence and that okay
I thought I had adhd although I didnt get checked but I can't focus well and for long, plus I can't retain information for long and Vyvanse does help with that I just would rather not take it everyday its quite addictive and life without it is so boring and mundane. I enjoy and am energized doing anything when I take a stimulant, but I don't want to lose control of usage, It seems more effective when taken as needed.
i wish weed would work for me but it literally makes everything worse for me. i was told it would help reduce anxiety symptoms when it actually made them worse lmao it also made my mind race.
