I tried them. It fucked with my gut, my sleep, and my personality... same thing happened to my son who was encouraged to take them by his mom.

Bottom line is almost anyone I've ever known who was prescribed ADHD meds didn't want to keep taking them and stopped at some point; only exception being my sister who is on more of a broad spectrum anxiety/depression med that also may treat ADHD.

Yep, same story for me. Was on them for probably a year and it changed my mood in ways I did not like. It became noticeable to my wife and she hated how short I would get. It also made me hyper-fixate way too hard on things.

Same story when I was a kid too. They misdiagnosed me as hyperactive but I am not. So the meds I got basically put me the fuck to sleep. I quit using them after like 1-2 uses because I was sleeping in class, which was completely out of character for me (I was never a great student but I never slept in class).
