I've been on all kinds of medications from age 7 to 26.

Ritallin sped up my heart and I couldn't keep up in gym class because I was constantly catching my breath.

Concerta/dexadrine took away my appetite. One bite every meal, then I was full. I was pathetically skinny and got called anorexic all the time.

Straterra made me tired and drousy all day, I was sexually frustrated because my dick would REFUSE to get hard, and then I would wake up at night, not being able to sleep.

I'm 31 and madication free for 6 years, and have learned to overcome my ADHD on my own. Never swallowing a other ADHD pill again, fuck that shit entirely.

Oh yeah, three hours of high school swim practice and seven of school without a bite to eat on Concerta. Awful. And I'd stay up til 3 am every night with vyvanse. I'd consider trying something else but I'm 0-2.
