Hey! Would you mind expanding on the "long-term adverse effects" from medication? Did you try different medication at different dosages? What has been your experience in general?
Yes, we tried a lot of different medications at different dosages. Had multiple hospitalizations and my life hasn't been returned to normal yet. Even years after the fact.
Since then countless papers were published basically saying my reaction to the meds is relatively common, but I can't sue the doctors because "it is common medical practice".
Makes me feel like there is a bounty on my head, which seems extremely sick given I live in the :land of the free"
I am wondering what reaction to them you had. I hope you are well, it sounds concerning.
I've always had an extremely anxious reaction to adhd medication that was inexplicable (on top of the usual side effects like sleeplessness and lack of appetite).
Recently it cleared up more when I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome as well and realized I am also sensitive to lots of other things, not just these meds. Nowadays I try to go without meds but it's a daily struggle. I wonder often if it would be a bigger struggle on meds.
