I so badly want to be medicated again. However I’ll require yet another diagnosis even though I have 3 throughout the years. Problem is, it’s too difficult for me to get all my ducks in a triangle to get the process moving
Anyways I hear meth works pretty much the same plus it’s easier to get so yeah imma check that out
Methamphetamine is literally used as a treatment for ADHD. It’s also fairly easy to get a hold of amphetamine on the darknet which is used in things like Adderall. It honestly isn’t that bad of an idea to try amphetamine or even methamphetamine if you actually know the correct dosage range. Recreational users would typically start at a higher dosage than someone looking for medicinal effects. Over time though medical users can end up on a similar dosage to a recreational user due to tolerance.
I am more talking about amphetamine rather than methamphetamine. Chemically it’s the same as Adderall, and you can find actual Adderall from the darknet or dealers as well.
Everyone’s different but I’ll just tell you I had the exact same thoughts and fast forward 5-6 years after that thought I was literally shooting up meth in socal under bridges homeless as fuck…I was terrified of needles too, hated getting shots could barely stand it but amphetamines can super duper take you soooo many places you don’t want to go.
Be careful and talk your plans over with a mentor/someone you trust please
To be clear this isn’t something I would want to try unless I had no other option. I am lucky that my University does testing for ADHD, and am hoping to get tested one day. I also already have an autism diagnosis, so already get some support, meaning it’s not as high a priority for me as it is for someone completely undiagnosed.
I’ve already tried substances similar to amphetamine like cocaine, and honestly don’t find them that pleasant. I am not in any real hurry to try that again. So I also doubt amphetamines are my thing.
I do find it interesting though that stories like yours happen. I’ve tried some very dangerous and addictive things including xanax, valium, ketamine, amphetamine, nicotine as well as the previously mentioned cocaine and honestly none of them took. I can only conclude that either I have no addictive tendencies or that I haven’t tried the right class of substance yet. It’s almost impossible for me to imagine being in your position. I guess it comes down to genetics or something.
I will note as well that if you can become addicted to the street version then that means you would have become addicted to the doctor prescribed version eventually too given enough time. It’s similar to how pain patients end up addicted to opioids. I am glad you are doing better though.
The problem is that the purity of the drug you’re getting is not guaranteed or regulated at all. For a lot of recreational/street drugs, the bigger problem is often the filler and crap they get cut with. If you’re paying enough for actually reliably pure drugs, you might as well just pay out of pocket for the psychiatrist and avoid the risk of drug charges.
Yes it’s not an ideal solution. If it’s between self medicating with other drugs versus getting the thing you should be prescribed with through illicit means I would choose the latter. Ideally healthcare would be free everywhere and getting a diagnosis wouldn’t take literal years or even a decade. That’s unfortunately not the world we live in. I have friends that were referred years ago on the NHS and are still waiting.
I would recommend against using street drugs in place of prescriptions because of the aforementioned reasons. I’ve seen what street drugs do to people while working in ERs and in a clinical setting, and it’s just not worth it.
Maybe I haven’t explained myself well enough. For many people it’s a choice not between prescription vs illicit. It’s a choice between illicit Adderall vs illicit cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, and anything else they can get their hands on. That’s what happens when people aren’t getting the medication and healthcare that they need. They take their problems to other substances and behaviors.
I’m saying that getting methamphetamine as a replacement for Adderall is a terrible idea because of the problems with contamination and legal repercussions. If you don’t have access to the psychiatric care, getting started with drugs that are cut with god knows what at highly unreliable doses is not likely to make things much better, definitely not in the long run.

Dr’s across the Midwest hate this one hack

This isnt a good thing like you think it is
Care to explain this statement?
You are saying how easy it is to get meth and how good it is, think bro.

You didn’t happen to see Anthony kiedis under any of those bridges?
