    You’re thinking of Strattera (which is worse for adhd than stimulants). Basically every other adhd medication is a stimulant and while they can be formulated in ways that are better for medication than fun it’s usually by making them release slowly and consistently resulting in a milder effect for a longer time. That said, doing that was what perdue pharma said made oxycontin not addictive.

      Ah yes Strattera. All it gave me were rancid farts like no other stench I could describe. And the stench clung to me & all around me 24/7 even between farts. No ADD/ADHD benefits whatsoever. Just butt stench.

      Yeah strattera is trash. Shit made me feel weird. I had to stop taking it after a week because, aside from the depersonalization and body load, it also.made my heart feel like it was going to self destruct

        Yeah I slept through a family vacation as a kid. And it should be noted that we both had adverse reactions. While I’d normally recommend people start with a stimulant, they’ve become really hard to consistently get lately to the point that I’m recommending my wife start with it.

        Why, because street users would fuck up titration and kill themselves‽ That shit is the least I’ve ever minded hives.
