How much for microdose?
I'm guessing it's different for different meds?

Just take your amphetamines and stop thinking too much. Thinking is bad, so be a good NPC and take the pill

There's already an active ADHD thread, you fucking retard.

From what I can notice you are risking a restless leg syndrome in the long run, but that may be just the surface of it. Either way I dont think RLS is fun.

I don't think it's that bad.
Your heart will probably suffer and it will be hard to get off them once after a couple of years.
You should do your own research though.

Not any worse than the long term damage caused by untreated ADHD.

yeah no, you're just fucking retards whose parents didn't beat them enough when it was the time for it.

Restless leg syndrome is no fucking joke "lol". It's a side effect of your dopamine-2 pathways degrading (due to too much speed) and not inhibiting signals going to your leg, resulting in a leg which fidgets uncontrollably. The result of this is that you can't get a decent night of sleep or rest. It's living hell.

mental illness is a synonym of mental disfunction, if you have a mental illness then that means that your brain works poorly. every mental illness carries along with it a certain IQ point penalty. down syndrome for example will cost you about 30% of your brain's normal functioning ability, microcephaly can be even worse. adhd only costs you about 10% of your IQ points, still quite a large penalty to pay.
lmao at OP unironically bragging about having reduced IQ, how cringe is that, its like something only a person with low IQ would do.

Meth isn't even bad in normal doses and is actually a prescribable medication. It only gets a bad rap because people like to abuse it taking more than 10 times the recommended dose to get high. At those levels it is harmful but any medication that you take 10 times higher than the maximum recommended dose is going to be harmful. And if you look at it that way meth is actually a lot safer than many other meds that would quickly kill you and cause immediate serious damage like organ damage and failure if you took them at comparable multiples over the max that meth abusers take.

Yes, i know, i'm just making fun of the fact that we use potentially brain damage causing drugs to "treat" what is basically brain damage.

Bad. All amphetamines are neurotoxic even in small doses. I just got off adderall after 7 years and I am so glad I did. Was starting affect memory and other cognitive function.

I am prescribed 10mg 2-3 times a day. Taking it lets me focus on hobbies without getting easily frustrated, stop biting my nails/inside of my lip, and overall feel happier and really calm.
10mg is a relatively low dose right? Will I really aee long term side effects if I just use it sporadically as needed?

relatively mild negative
some neurotoxic stuff
some nutrient and damage stuff (sometimes things like Taurine can mitigate, do the work or find a an actual competent Dr or friend)
Tolerance builds. This affects both efficacy of the med and your baseline should you quit.
Look out for those things and make sure you are now properly OCD on the skills required to excel in your life. You are improving at your field, more volume as well, some gym and extra walking...
Doing that and not 'playing' on it will be a big factor

By far the worst longterm effect of adhd drugs (dopamine pills) is not feeling like you really own your accomplishments.

How smart am I really? How motivated can I be? How hard can I work? Was it me who did that electrical engineering degree, or was it the drug? Was it me who did all that cardio, or the drug?

Depending on the cut of your jib, this can lead to serious cognitive dissonance and a desire to kill all psychiatrists. To any anon who knows what i'm talking about, godspeed to you.

Just don't deviate upwards from the prescribed dose and you should be fine. On the long-term you risk developing a tolerance to it to the point where they no longer will help, and the process of finding new meds/doses will be at the very least arduous and most likely futile

I have an appointment in a week, hopefully will get prescribed stimulants--the wellbutrin they had me try didn't improve my symptoms at all

I already can't sleep because I fidget like hell in bed, the medication counteracts this and calms me down. Idk where you got that observation from, but because you develop a tolerance to the medication on the long term, the effects obviously wont be as dramatic and so you will default back to how you were without the meds, which might explain ur theory of RLS
