    You really described how being drunk with power works from an addiction standpoint in a great way and that's obviously at least in part why some people, especially younger folk, ultimately manage this kind of attention and constant mass scale validation so poorly.

    The ADHD thing is really, really weird. I had all those issues before I started, and they were helped immensely by my ADHD meds. They saved my marriage, my job, everything. Oddly, weed caused me so many memory issues I had to stop smoking it.

    Sadly, cannabis done to excess can have effects on memory. I would like to do it less, but I still have this undercurrent of anxiety running through my ADHD and it helps with that. Personally, I find Adam's account of his experience with ADHD meds to be ... a little unusual. I don't want to invalidate his experiences, but when he talks about the negative effects he experienced on stimulants, he seems to often list SYMPTOMS of ADHD. It reminds me very much of the countless ADHD patients who become aware of their symptoms in full for the first time because the meds provide them with the first time they experience anything different. Mixing them with other substances can also be a confusing experience.

    This is such an informative video. Thank you! Dopamine is wild. Throughout the past few years i've been stumbling through life trying to find a sense of direction but getting distracted with short term dopamine rushes. Things like drugs and videogames have been distracting me from actually bettering myself. About four months ago I started telling myself "learn to enjoy doing hard things," and have been pushing myself to learn how to program. I enrolled in the hardest class i've ever taken and came out the other side a full stack software engineer. I still smoke weed and I still play videogames, but I get much more enjoyment coding. It's kind of the same thing. I still get short term dopamine releases, and I'm definitely addicted to them, but now they're connected to something tangible and productive. Though I don't yet have a job, I now have a marketable skill that pays well and makes me feel good about what I'm doing. I finally have a sense of direction and it feels amazing. There's a lot to be said for playing the long game, but for some of us there's quite a steep learning curve in figuring out how to do so.

If I stop I don't get sick as in opiate withdrawal but I get really lethargic and tired. Kind of similar to an amphetamine withdrawal. I'll probably stop after this last batch since it's getting expensive and there's not much benefit anymore, but it did help me stop getting blackout drunk every night. So there's that.

    I can definitely attest to social media being a drug. Growing up, I was never exactly popular. At the start of the pandemic, I started joining some online communities and making friends. I had posted some selfies and received some praise and validation for them, which would result in a dopamine spike. So I kept on doing it. As the attention wore off, I wanted it to continue. It left me wanting more. So I started making my pics a little more suggestive, which got me some attention and compliments. I started posting thirst traps, which would result in even more attention. It got to the point where I was almost addicted to the attention. I’d post, get a massive dopamine spike for a short period of time, when the attention wore off, I’d crash. It stopped being about posting for fun, and became about desperately trying to get as much attention as possible from these strangers as I could. I was validating my worth, through what others said about my appearance, just for the dopamine. I was finally getting the attention I craved, but with a crash

Your way of explaining things is super interesting and gives a fair interpretation of the risk/reward altering experiences from someone who’s actually used these substances. From someone who’s done “it” to say something is overhyped or an underwhelming ‘potentially regretful experience’ is a much more powerful education approach..

I can COMPLETELY relate to everything you are saying. I also feel that it is important to find good trip friends, who you are with has a lot to do with how your trip is going to go. I feel like you would be really cool to trip with, maybe prepare with some great trip toys such ass bubbles and stim toys. In fact! Here is a video idea…. Tripping with trip toys and all different fun things to enhance your trip. I haven’t done acid in a few years, I always feel like I’m too old to handle it and I worry about getting shity quality stuff. I did shrooms a few months ago and it was so nice! I’ve always been a social user, I don’t even like smoking weed by myself, I don’t even think about smoking it unless I have a friend over and they never happens now with covid. Anyway….. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your content!

    For me, having ADHD I have tried almost every ADHD drug in high school. Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin and some others. At low doses I never noticed much of a difference but at higher doses I would see some CRAZY changes: 1. In the start and middle of the day I would go into a creative, productive frenzy. My brain would be very fast moving as always but suddenly I found myself randomly cleaning and writing pages and pages of notes for school. I was able to achieve so much in a day it honestly shocked me. 2. At the end of the day however, I would CRASH. And I mean CRASH. I'd start getting very depressed for no good reason, crying and feeling overall shit. I couldn't sleep well when I took them either. This is why I stopped taking them.

    @@junktin1750 Of course! I would say try for a week or at least a few days off it and see if your marks decline. But ultimately, your health is a lot more important than studies (despite what people want you to believe). It is better to be alive with no degree than sick, depressed or even dead with one 😂 I think the issue in your case is simply your depedency on the drug to function. I totally get it, because I have the same thing haha but its about weighing up how much it affects you healthwise, as well as your life. If I were you bro, I would speak to my doctor about maybe lowering the dosage gradually before even considering cutting it off. But from my experience, I can't say I was ever "addicted" to the drugs per se, more just found them helpful but at a cost. Ultimately, just weigh up whether you feel like Vyvance is helping you or not and if the answer is no, try either lowering the dose, quitting completely for a while to see how you operate without them or trying a new ADHD medication like ritalin/concerta etc. Hope this helps and I can absolutely answer any other questions you have from my personal experiences too. I'm 22 and have been off them for a few years but am considering getting back on them for work and uni :)

Thus being said, there are many cases where this medication coupled with therapy has helped so many people improving the quality of their lives.

    Methylphenidate saved my life. Adhd medicine was the best thing that happened to me. And it did cure me for a long time until I took anti convulsants which took me back to my first adhd state before adhd medication. Now that I'm an adult it doesn't help me this much, but as a teen it truly helped my memory and concentration, my sleeping and my eating habits. It was amazing, I wish I never took anticonvulsants because how I was before that was great due to fucking concerta (in us ritalin)

    I would have said the same thing several years ago. I truly believed I was broken beyond repair, even worse still, that I was just made that way, defective, and then broken on top of it all. If you read or listen to Gabor Mate explains very well how childhood traumas and events can play a fundamental role in many if not most of the issues that we deal with every day as adults, with trauma on top ot trauma, mostly we don't actually know the issues that really lie underneath the layers of issues and developmental disruptions, and more often than not, the things we would have in mind as the most damaging or changing events in our lives and upbringing are usually after the fact events that happened because of some damage already done that set us up for a bigger fall down the line. Of course we remember the fall but maybe not the initial point of origin. He states that working for years with addicted individuals in the Downtown Vancouver he learned that most if not all of the patients were victims of some form of serious childhood abuse/neglect. Basically these people were addicts waiting to become addicted in a sense, just like you said, you always feel like an addict, and I can relate, as the problem existed before the drugs, the drugs came because of the issues, not the other way around. The drugs are generally a self medication for deep seated issues that we don't know how to or can't manage. Something that I did several years ago changed my life completely, I was in terrible health, my mental and emotional pain was causing me so much distress that my sleep, my diet, everything was suffering, and the anxiety and stress hormones were literally wearing me out. I was suffering immensely, more than I even realised, no matter how hard I tried to be healthy, no matter what I did nothing seemed to help, and so I had to just "get on with it". A friend of mine contacted me one day telling me of something he had done in the Netherlands, and "I had to do it" and something about the way he said it, just struck me right in the heart and soul. He had travelled to the Netherlands to partake in an iboga ceremony, which is the root of an African shrub, historically taken in extremely large doses by all tribe members when they come of age (around 14 or so) it is the "coming of age" or "rite of passage" ceremony, to symbolise becoming your own person, and adult respected as such by the other tribal members. The whole tribe gets together and sings and dances all night and everyone takes a small amount while the ones who are coming of age take a whole plate full of the extremely bitter wooden shavings. When you take it you generally purge, and vomit for a minute or two until you are empty, then lay down for several hours and don't really move a lot for the night at all. You then begin to journey into your mind, as if there was a screen behing your eyes when you close them and it will take you through the things in your life that you need to go back to to figure out and to kind of unstick them. You feel an unimaginable sense of emotional release and you come out the other side very tired, but lighter as if you just took the world off your shoulders. I was a long time awake from the experience and when I eventually got some rest I woke up like a new person. I will say this you really don't know how sick you are until you get better. My mind felt clear, along with my eyesight and all my senses were amped up, in fact they were working perfectly, everything was, and I felt half my age. It took a while to get used to having such a clear head, I never realised how much fog and chatter was in my mind until it cleared. Not that I could hear it audibly, but it was there. I still have that clarity to this day, and that was about 5-6 years ago now. It was the best thing I ever done for myself, for my health, and for my mental/emotional state. I have found iboga to be the most healing substance I ever came across, and I have heard that ayahuasca is also a healing plant along with DMT, Kambo, and other entheogens/psychedelics, . That's great that you are sober, and that can't be an easy feat when you still feel that way to this day, it's a real testament to your character and I hope you manage to work things out so that you can finally have the happiness and peace of mind that you deserve. I really wish you the best in health and happiness, in body, spirit and in mind

    @@aodhokelly8811 iv done some reading on iboga and ayahuasca before and I belive it can work for some people like me especially. I have experimented with mushrooms quite a bit in the past and always found they had something to teach. They helped a lot with a very deep-seated restlessness and hypervigilance in the short term. Just made it disappear and I would be at peace. I took away that Psycadelics can definetly treat trauma if used correctly. I was diagnosed bipolar 1 with general/social anxiety while being treated for alcoholism by a psychiatrist, and by another psychiatrist outside facility shortly after. It was a long time comeing since I had my first psychotic break 13 years ago in the farm of a manic episode. Mania is a amazing state to be in but also very unpredictable and possible dangerous. Take the best mood you have ever been in and triple it. The euphoria and sheer awe struck nature of it eventually drives one to insanity. Its a very jung esk sort of experience of archetypes and feeling as if one has been "chosen" for some sort of divine mission. Unfortunately or fortunately it only happened once lasting 2 weeks. The other half is crippling depression that waxes and wanes. So the question is how dangerous is it for someone that is prone to altered states naturally to partake in a ceremony of what is basically induced short term psychosis (iboga, ayahuasca, mushrooms)? Its a question I ask myself quite a bit, Haveing seen both sides and come back (mostly) intact. Iv left more than a few bits of my mind scattered on the trail behind me haha. Often times I do think it would be beneficial to take a break from the meds and have a ceremony again.

    Adderall has had the exact opposite effects for me- it doesn’t make me happy/euphoric (i feel it actually flattens my moods a bit), it kills my sex drive, and it increases my memory & attention to detail. it’s helpful because i use it when i feel i must/should, but if i don’t need it im not driven to take it. what sucks the most is the way i think it may affect sleep

    Hearing you talk about your experience with amphetamine ADHD meds is by far and away the most accurate depiction of what I’m struggling with right now. My working memory has been bad the past couple years and the porn and masturbating has gotten to actual physically dangerous levels. Fortunately, I can stop taking them whenever I’d like, however when it’s available I just want to keep taking them. Of course, I’m just talking about the negative side effects when I find there to be such great, positive ones as well. But to see it listed here as one of your biggest drug regrets surprised me and is maybe a wake up call.

I'm watching a ton of educational videos, but for topics I'd never need in my life, like physics, civil engineering, electrical engineering, etc. It consumes a huge chunk of my free time, and I do it instead of doing stuff I actually enjoy, to the point I don't even remember what I actually enjoy to do in my free time.

    I've had a vastly different relationship with my ADD meds. Memory-wise, I was/am a goldfish without them. They don't give me any kind of addictive rush. They feel like they sober me up and let me pull my head out of the chaotic fog within my own mind. I have never, ever abused them in over 40 years time and I never feel like they've damaged my cardiovascular fitness or health. They let my mind slow down enough that I'm able to exert control over the executive functions within. They don't act like speed does when used by neurotypical people. They literally act like the opposite of that for me. They slow me down to where I can take control. Your experience, as described seems like it GAVE you ADD brain rather than removing it. That being said, I question why you, or any of the medical practicioners who prescribed it to you didn't discontinue it's use for you long ago if it was having the effect you're describing. Because frankly, it's not supposed to do that if you actually have ADD/ADHD.

You are basically a coke addict... and I'm saying this as a formerly prescribed ADD med user...it's not doing you any favors, you only feel and think it is and you are scared to get off it.
