Classic ADHD troupe of only reading the title / skimming. Lol
Please do not imply that I did not fully read the post because you did not like my answer. I noted in my comment that I realize the situation is not ideal, and I provided information that I thought might be worth reconsidering. I'm sorry I did not realize that adjusting your medication is such a hard no for you.
However, it is disingenuous to claim that Japan "absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country" when that simply isn't true, and this was causing multiple people in the comments to come to false conclusions. Many other people would consider a temporary adjustment agreeable, and it is unfair to lead people to believe that this isn't possible unless they can tolerate non-stimulant medication.
Nah, not at all. Just ribbin'.
Yeah, every single website I've pulled up on the matter says everything is a hard "no" and that no accommodations can be given.
When you see 4 or 5 sites saying the same thing, you tend to come to that conclusion. But I'm happy to see that's not necessarily the case!
No hard feelings. I did notice that the ministry documentation was written rather confusingly, so I can see how it could be twisted. It does say you can email them with inquiries at least.
Tbh it sounds like thats what you did rather than them. They gave you options and acknowledged your concerns and your response was "lol they didnt even read my post." Yes. They. Did.
Trope. A troupe is a group of performers.
Something you're also guilty of apparently.
I read that and was thinking of non-amphetamine alternatives. I kinda lump most of the amphetamines together.
