      Which ones have you tried? I felt the same about Adderall when I was prescribed it as a kid. Quit taking it as it was worse than nothing. Apparently there’s a lot more options these days, but I haven’t gotten around to trying the others yet, no surprise

          Wow, I didn’t have that bad of an experience. More just extremely mentally tired and groggy, in like a dream like state. Felt like a zombie and had no interest in socializing or eating. Decided to ditch it when I was 15.

          Weed is also my current solution. Def helps in the short term, but doesn’t help me get off my ass and really try to fix the problem. I hope non stimulant meds could help, but I haven’t had the motivation to talk with a psychiatrist to try any out.

          Stay strong friend.
