Rejection sensitive dysphoria ( www.additudemag.com )
Some people use the pain of RSD to find adaptations and overachieve. They constantly work to be the best at what they do and strive for idealized perfection. Sometimes they are driven to be above reproach. They lead admirable lives, but at what cost?...
How do you handle being misunderstood?
I’m sure lots of ADHDers know what I mean. Situations where you’re not meaning ill intent, but the way that a situation turns out makes it seem like you’re the bad guy/girl....
Do you gain tolerance to the meds over time?
I just started generic Focalin 5 days ago, 5mg once a day. It makes me feel wired, like I’ve had too much caffeine. I can’t tell yet if it’s helping with my concentration, and it doesn’t hurt my mental state as far as I can tell, but I’m wondering if this physical jittery feeling will fade over time. I can’t imagine...

Adderall side effects
How bad are everyone else’s side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren’t bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or...
Just started Strattera. I feel superhuman, but have some questions about the side effects.
