By totallyaddauthorSomething has been bothering me for a while. Stewing away.
And I think the seasonal question of “Have you been naughty or nice?” has brought it to the fore.
It’s something I was asked a long while ago.
“How do I tell what’s ADHD, and what’s simply bad behavior?”

By totallyaddauthorI have been thinking about the misuse of adult ADHD medication. I’m referring to the official, approved, doctor prescribed, legally obtained medications, stimulant and otherwise.

By totallyaddauthorI’ve stopped and started taking ADHD medication four times.
The first time I started was nearly 15 years ago.
The fourth time I started medication was yesterday.

By totallyaddauthorCan we talk about substance abuse?
Specifically abusing ADHD medication.
I’ve never actually had anyone ask me to lend them some of my medication. (How do you lend someone medication? Don’t you mean give? Cause I can’t see a pill being a ‘loaner’ that I’d want back afterwards.) But when my son was at university, taking an incredibly challenging course called Physics-Engineering, fellow students, non-ADHD students, approached him about getting a leg up with one of his magic pills.
