There is a correlation between ADHD and addiction.I did not know that ADHD meds could lead to addiction.But if some meds increase dopamine with time and more dosage ,It makes sense that the threshold for feeling the effects of dopamine is increasingly moving forward over time. .
I just recently stopped taking ADHD meds just randomly by choice because I was feeling worn out all the time. Not everyone takes this shit too far and ADHD meds were super helpful for me because I have ADHD so bad that I ended up homeless living above my means and impulsively spending money. All my stuff was auctioned off in a storage unit I could no longer pay for. All of this happened and I was sober as a nun... Drugs are not the end all be all... They just arent. It's how you react and handle them that matters. Someone else in this thread mentioned that ADHD people tend to become addicts more frequently than neurotypical people and I agree with that. So you can't exactly blame the meds because you have no idea if it was the meds or just YOU
Exactly! So well said- I believe my addict ways would have come out regardless of if I was on the meds are not and don’t blame them for my addiction. But they just happened to be the substance that ignited it
