I have never known anyone with ADHD that self medicated with meth, the only ones I know have a prescription which is the opposite of aelf medication.
Yeah. From what I see, they generally self-medicate with energy drinks.
Coffee is my jam.
i skip both pot and caffeine and go straight for poutine
Food gives you dopamine so just eat constantly, what could go wrong?
Merde!
Found the Canadian!
Fuck yeah, could go a poutine bender right now
I don't know what works for OCD, but I guarantee they take the same dose every day at the exact same time.
While probably not self-medication, SSRI's are one the most successful drug treatments for OCD, I believe. I know this doesn't really answer your question.
I self medicated with pot. Speed didn't do anything.
okay
Hi, I have attention-deprived homosexual disaster disorder, and I medicate with extreme amounts of caffeine.
I also have found caffeine solves most of my problems.
Can't a guy get fucked up without it being "self medication"?
Technically, any chemically induced change of state of mind that doesn't require a third party to supervise, can be considered self medication.
Morning coffee? Self medication. Going for a jog to feel better? Self medication. Getting blackout drunk on your own? Self medication. Midnight wank when you can't sleep? Self medication.
You know what's NOT self medication? Taking shrooms or LSD or any other hallucinogenics with a trip sitter.
Not OCD, but it's caffeine and weed for me.
My OCD diagnosed hubby self-medicates with sugar and/or naps. Weed does nothing for him. And he can't have caffeine due to a congenital heart defect.
TIL: I’m a overly sensitive empath
No, Harry, yer an alcoholic
Whatever it is, did you really remember to take it?
Crack cocaine..
Light switches, door latches (j/k)

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
