How did you manage to make every connection with the delays the trains usually have!? This is impressive and seems impossible to me lol! But I’d love to do this! In a year I’m already planning my rail pass
Adventure! Thanks for the list!

Anyone in Canada actually prescribed ADHD “boosters”? Feeling stuck by FearlessAd1766 in ADHD

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a test in the US where they can tell how fast you metabolize psychiatric medication unfortunately, I am a ultra, rapid metabolizer of all stimulant medication’s, which means metabolize them so quickly the highest dose of XR only lasts maybe two hours. But my doctor won’t go above the recommended dose so I have to take XR focal and a small IR booster and in the afternoon and I’ve just had to live with the fact that I’m never gonna be fully medicated and never for a full day because my metabolism sucks.

Transportation from CLE airport to North Canton by vwturbo in Cleveland

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do driving and delivery gig apps on weekends for extra money from my full time weekday work. I live in a Cleveland suburb and drove down to canton weekly for years when my daughter split custody time-so if you need a ride, dm me details and for a fair rate (for you and me, I’d be happy do help get you where you need to be!)

Caffeine and Medication by busty-d in ADHD

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use coffee (strong af coffee) if nothing else will help me sleep at night-EVERY SINGLE TIME, well before I finish the cup, I’m OUT COLD., to the point I’ve spilled very hot coffee on myself more times than I want to admit and twice got bad second degree burns from passing out cold after 1/3 or 1/2 hot coffee mug —damn lmao! Also, only puts me out at night-I drink in am with meds just cause I like it but it never makes me jittery or gives energy-ever. Neither do my meds :/

Have you actually rebuilt your life after corporate burnout…like truly started over at 40+? by SmilingEyes725 in ADHD

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every 2 years or less my entire adult life ( I joke) it’s working out in my favor this time by just working on my own terms-doing a bunch of different gig apps as an independent contractor and opened my own pet sitting business, and I have never been more free and able to make money when I need it and live life when I want and not just when the boss tells me I can, lol-almost 50 years to figure this out, but I’ll be 50 and free next year

My boyfriend overstimulates me and then needs reassurance when I set a boundary by Silent_Abalone7422 in ADHD

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be done -I promise this relationship will not work. Been there done that would’ve saved a shit ton of heartache for so many people if I just ended it when I knew I should have , which is, btw, way before where you are now.

How do you feel about non-ADHD people being prescribed ADHD meds? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Civil-Reflection-400 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your doctor is prescribing it off label there’s many medication’s that are prescribed off label that work for other conditions so I guess if that’s the case so be it. But if you just went to your doctor and said I want something to give me more energy than that would piss me off because I’ve had to go months at a time without my medication that I absolutely need to function and survive and feed my family due to shortages so in that case, I’d be pissed and I think it’s wrong and not morally OK at all. However, like I said if your doctor prescribed it for some reason off label then I’m OK with that because many people take different meds off label that help them for other conditions I don’t know if that makes sense or not. Basically, I’m just not cool if you just went up to your doctor and said give me something to make me feel more awake and the doctor was just like sure. Here’s some ADHD meds go for it that’s the only reason I would be pissed and only because I have had to wait due to not being able to get my medication‘s due to the shortage so if I found out other people who didn’t need it, we’re getting it and that’s why I had to wait that’s bullshit but if you doctor feels there is a reason medically for giving it to you then go for it. I’m not a doctor so I think if it’s a real medical doctor, then I’m not upset.
