But, I figured out 6 years ago, at 54 years old, that I have ADHD.
There are 8 types of ADHD. Some respond to stimulants. For some, stimulants make things worse. I'm in that category. I have to watch out for too much of any type of stimulant, even Vitamin B-12, and the ginseng that is in most multivitamins.
Cardio helps everyone with ADHD for some reason.
To figure out what type you have, look up Dr. Amen. He has a free test, that'll tell you which type.
I wouldn't use Adderall, unless I needed it medically. If you don't need it for a medical condition, it's cheating, the same as using steroids.
When I win, I want those plastic trophies to mean something
In this thread I've seen people give out solid advice (like questioning a prescribed high dosage), what may or may not work for themselves or others, and the potential side effects.
One of the things doctors will consider during a diagnosis is a history of "risk seeking" behaviour. Now, what sport do we love that is considered risk seeking? There is a biological chemical reason why people with ADD/ADHD tend to seek out activities like this. So yeah, something that I'm sure many here are afflicted with and are properly medicated for belongs here.
I don't know anyone that has a prescription that abuses it. They only take it when they know they are going to need it, like a big day at work. Typically aren't taking it on weekends etc.
I'm 38. Found out this year that I most likely have ADD. I fit in to a text book definition, and way back from primary school right through high school I had certain struggles. Eventually, I learned how to work with my brain and cope. One of the typical coping mechanisms is having things done in certain way every single time. Things being placed in exact locations etc. Sounds like OCD right? Well, in the case of someone like me, that would be a wrong diagnosis, as I need the organization so I don't miss or forget something, where as someone with OCD has to have things perfect for no reason... It's in the title. So, while you, "old timer", think it's a new phenomena, it's actually something that has been around forever, it is just now being properly diagnosed and differentiated from other forms of disorders.
My last girlfriend was diagnosed during our relationship. As she was going through the stages of diagnoses, I started to do some reading about it... And through that, saw so many aspects of my struggles mentioned. My mom and sister have been diagnosed, and genetics is an indicating factor.
So, as a "trial" I took a small dose of vyvanse. And it was a huge change for me. The day I took it, I had to get things done, and for once I was focused on the task. I didn't have the small distractions, I knew what I had to do and I put my mind to it and did it. I even noticed I had a better sense of balance (was at the end of a ladder doing siding/soffit). Some people do notice a better "connection" to their body. It really was like a fog was lifted.
This wasn't due to more energy, I was just able to concentrate on something I usually couldn't concentrate on.
Had I taken it and felt a "high", well then that would be a pretty good indication I don't have ADD, but I just felt "normal".
Almost every time I ride/race I am not focused on what is happening. I mean, yeah, I'm paying attention to what I'm doing, but I am thinking about everything else at the same time, like "need to get the oil changed in my truck, I wonder what my dog is doing right now..." at the same time I'm grabbing 3rd at the base of a jump. That isn't what normal people do. I asked some buddies at a race about it before, they said when they are on the track that is the only thing in their brain, is the track.
Unfortunately, I will never risk being diagnosed because that comes with a prescription of amphetamines, which is a banned substance if you want to hold a pilot's license. So, I'll continue to live in a fog and deal with it.
Do people abuse it? Sure, but it doesn't sound like most of the guys in this thread.
If you “try” adderall once in a while with zero tolerance, like most of you are saying then yes it fucks you up and tweaks you out even if you have adhd.
There’s a tolerance stage for the body to get used to it and then you have to keep taking it for it to “work” the way it’s
supposed to that doesn’t make you
High as a kite. Most doctors start you on a super low dose and prescribe you more as your tolerance builds.
I can actually think of just riding now while I’m riding instead
Of the flood of irrelevant thoughts and info in my head when I was trying to ride as a kid.
Sativa strains of cannabis are a good substitute for me once in a while
Edit: NM, I see your picking someone else’s fight. That’s so Vital. Sorry to offend. I stand by my response to the OP
Pit Row
That would be double D's
I’ve a bi-polar disorder that I work on without meds as, my Doctors I’ve seen were unreliable, and the first meds I was on were horrible. Focused on self-awareness instead. I’m happy with my results sometimes!! Haha
There is a large portion of the shop on it and I don’t think it’s prescribed - bad news
I wouldn’t touch that stuff with a ten foot pole.
And hearing 60mg a day taken from McG194...bro...get a new doctor. That is an absurd prescription!
