    My doc proscribed me too much Addy so I gave some to my friends (it was starting to pile up, I had a literal box full). We had a blast going out clubbing, I felt like I was herding cats. Except for one… One of my friends was just becoming extremely normal and geared down and they couldn’t understand why. Fun way to learn you have ADHD

      I love this genre of story. Stuff like “We all did coke and everyone started laughing and having a good time and being really chatty while I sat on the couch petting the cat and that’s how I learned I had ADHD”.

      Would you say one’s response to Adderall is a reliable indicator to whether one has ADHD?

        No. I don’t know enough about how adderall works to speak confidently like that. I know it’s an indicator, but that’s about it

        I’d say if it just makes you kinda normal you might, but it not doing that doesn’t necessarily rule out ADHD, not every stim works for everybody.

        It’s more of a hey you should probably look into this than a confirmation on it’s own.
