Back in high school when I was able to use my parent’s insurance, I was on Strattera. But the generic version is, like, six times more expensive than Ritalin, so I’m thinking about trying something new.

    I’m fucking rawdogging life. Diagnosed when I was young, never taken meds. Been thinking that might not be working out best though.

      It works until it doesn’t. It stopped working for me around when we had kids. The massive reduction in free time made me lose my regeneration patterns.

      8 hour gaming or programming sessions are mental health care. Losing that was devastating.

        Totally get that, I get pretty angry when I don’t get to hyper focus for long enough. My issue right now is that I’m ignoring everything else. Not doing the things that need to be done.

      Good luck, I made it to 39 that way, 2 kids killed any energy I had for the coping mechanism I had developed. Started taking meds back in February and am not feeling it, I just want to function again.
