Re: Recently diagnosed, but questions regarding medication

Thanks for the informative post, I’ll take a look at the book when I have time. I actually had a question that will hopefully be picked up by Dr. J or anyone else that is as well versed medically in the short term – long term impacts of the medications. My issue is after quitting for about 4 months from stimulants, I am in a much happier mood; however I am bit stressed, that I am not as stressed about school, assignments etc. I know I realize it’s kind of ironic. My issue is that I feel like taking these stimulants in the past for a short period of time (about 3-4 months) might have made my body accustomed to having this medication in order to concentrate and even after a 4 month break, i still need them to optimally function. My issue is there ever a case of where individuals that have been taking stimulants and than quit for about the same amount of time of them taking the stimulants experience permanent cognitive impairment, similarly concentration issues and foggy brain esque symptoms.
