Hi, Denise.
I´ve taken street methamphetamine (speed) almost daily, for a year. It used to seem great in the short term. But in the long term, it was the most unhealthy decision I have made in my life: I suffered an accidental overdose, due to unpredictable purity of the product, and had to spend the night in E.R...
So, I left it. It wasn´t big deal, but depression appeared, and it was a very hard time. Fortunately, I have been diagnosed adult ADHD and was prescribed ritalin. It was alomst as effective as meth for me, and neither tolerance/addiction were a problem in these 3 or 4 years I`ve been taking it. So, the problem is not if you take a stimulant or not: the problem is if you take it following appropiate procedures, validating rational methods and receiving support and assistance from people who knows about the problem you are trying to fight. So, try to introduce your necessity to others, to "socialize" your problem, and be forthcoming enough to listen what people could do for you. I mean, many doctors will prescribe stims if you explain clearly your situation and if they consider that stims could help.Alejandro
