I’m new to the meds, as still tuning my regiment, but as is I do have an interview to look forward to. Which is way ahead of where I was a couple of months ago.
Also, medication do not have the same effect on NT as they do on ND, specifically stimulants and ADHDers. That’s a myth, backed up by research, lots of it. If you enjoy acquiring knowledge through videos, like I do, you may want to check out lectures, or the shorter videos by Dr Russell Barkley, arguably the world’s foremost expert on the topic of ADHD.
I have looked at a couple Russell Barkley videos. I haven’t found anything on how ADHD people respond differently to stimulants than people of any other neurotype. Could you point me in the right direction?
How can a myth be backed up by lots of research? I am confused what you mean here.
I am also not claiming that they have the exact same effect on all people. Rather that they do improve productivity in many circumstances for both groups of people (NT and ND). Also neurodivergent people are not a single block and neither are neurotypicals. Not all ADHD or autistic people will respond the same way to stimulants. Not even one the same person is effected the same way by the same drug every single time. One of the lessons taught in the psychonaut community is that drugs can effect you differently depending on many factors including you’re mindset, the dosage, the exact substance, and what condition you’re body is in (set and setting is the simplified version of this). I have experienced the stimulant inversion you are talking about but it’s not very consistent. It’s basically tossing a coin what effect I will have for a certain stimulant every time I take it; this is part of why I don’t do that particular substance often. It could also be a dosage dependant phenomena.
