Every screening and official diagnostic I’ve taken has me scoring max ADHD points and every time someone describes a symptom I’m left confused that other people don’t have them.
Will my personality change? I feel like being a disorganized disheveled loud interrupter is most of my personality at this point idk.
I’ve never done any stimulants beyond drinking a million coffees per day so i have some anxiety about this
Which are these?
The less commonly prescribed ADHD meds that are still common-ish imo are:
Atomoxetine
Guanfacine
Bupropion
Viloxazine
Venlafaxine
The much less commonly prescribed ADHD meds imo are:
Methamphetamine (not a joke btw - Desoxyn is prescribed in the US occasionally)
Clonidine
Modafinil (technically still a stimulant but without most of the issues that may come with stimulations such as potential for addiction)
Tricyclics like desipramine
There’s a few more that are really off the beaten path such as amantadine, which I’m a bit of an evangelist for, as well. It’s worth keeping in mind that non-stimulants aren’t a class in and of themselves so there’s not a huge amount in common between, say, atomoxetine and guanfacine.
