Bruh I'm honestly horrified to hear that. I thought meds were the last word, the final solution you could always keep in your back pocket when no other coping mechanism works.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, the stims are fantastic. I’m far more productive at home and at work, I’m barely ever eating excessively (Vyvanse is also prescribed for binge eating disorder which is a common comorbidoty with ADHD), and I’m super confident, shattering my social anxiety disorder.

I’ve just got so much to do that I’m feeling cheated when more stuff gets in the way of the original task. Much like Hal rebuilding his engine because the light was out in the kitchen.

The SSRI bit was legit. Sexual side effects are very common with them, but also under-reported. A lot of people, especially younger men, are too hesitant and prideful to tell their PCP about them. I switched to a non-SSRI (Wellbutrin) and it’s like I’m 20 again.
