Ok. Hi.

So I took some of my spare Adderall to see if I want to switch back. That was two days ago.

Yesterday, I went lace crazy. Just bringing out my bobbin lace pillows, my needle lace work, looking at patterns, winding bobbins, looking for books that *aren't* sold on Amazon, looking for my lace instruction books I have here, following tutorials.
The ADHD is still present, its just focused adhd. 😂🥲

The thing is, Adderall is stronger than Ritalin. Idk why.

When I couldn't get my Adderall due to really bad drug shortages last year, they put me on a proportional dose of Ritalin.

(I really would like to stock up on my meds because drug shortages are terrible. The medical system doesnt allow you to.)

The Adderall at a certain dose gives me more GI pain and more migraines. Ritalin doesn't, but its not as strong for focusing.

Anyways I got a lot of lace made yesterday and today. 😆
Hopefully guitar today?

Tbh, all the trouble I've had health wise and mentally, I can see why some ADHD folks *don't* take Ritalin or Adderall.

I just learned that my cholesterol is shit. I suspect the Ritalin. 😑 And the GI pain and migraines keeps me from productive things I *want* to do. There are other crap side effects.

I still don't get how college students could be interested in abusing this stuff. Are they NOT in pain when taking it?
Do pain meds work for their migraines???

@jtphillipsmnr if you have other chronic health issues, maybe that's the difference? People without ADHD are also (at least slightly) less likely to have physical chronic illnesses so maybe they're less likely to have side effects too 🤷
If so, that's ironic and kinda fucked up, just like how Adderall and (I assume?) Ritalin require more executive function to get than most other medications 🙃 although at least the former isn't something within ableists' control

@jtphillipsmnr yeah I got off methylphenidate because my normally bulletproof GI did not enjoy it. Also just completely nuked what was left of my limited appetite. It's ass.
