When I was a kid, I refused to take the meds we were trying out for my ADHD because they made me crash hard. I would fall asleep in classes because I had no choice.

Fast forward like 30 years and I’m taking Atomoxetine. Seems to work pretty well for me and I can focus on work. I can usually tell when it runs its course at the end of the day though. I basically start randomly zoning out. Using my brain constantly all day to write code probably doesn’t help though.

Cocaine does absolutely fuck all for me. The few times I tried it, I was convinced my friends were getting screwed over because I got absolutely nothing from it.
