They’ll only stop prescribing it if they (and you) think the risks outweigh the benefits. It might be something much less serious and you would be much better off knowing either way.

Yep. Also, it may be something totally different, like trapped wind/constipation, and have an easy fix.

Or you may do better on a different type of stimulant. Lots of options

Hilariously, sometimes they do, but only after you’ve tried everything else. Also, Adderall is about 25% meth.

Might it be triggering your vagus nerve? Sometimes I have issues with that with BMs and I get the same cold sweat issues.

How? It will just make it extremely expensive for people to host instances, and ensure that it’s hard to find content on other platforms to link to.

Most of which aren’t really compatible with living in a city, even if you’re in a house and not an apartment. We needed an entire garage stall for my husband’s tools, which significantly affected what houses we could buy and how close to the city center we could live. It’s a lifestyle choice, not something you just pick up on a whim.

I’ve been using it with Ubuntu and Arch with no issues for a couple of years, so …?

Words can have multiple meanings - it might be best to find one that doesn’t have the same baggage that conservative has, such as “risk-averse”

Is there a similar issue with AMD?

My now-husband thought a good first date was to compile gentoo on my computer with KDE 4.0 (so raw that folders/desktop/drag and drop didn’t work). 13 years later, I finally decided to use Arch on one of my computers… the other two are still Ubuntu, though that’s likely to change.

I still can’t quite figure out why I kept dating him and eventually married him. Maybe it’s the free tech support?

I’m usually able to just take my AM dose of instant-release meds. I can kick myself into hyperfocus, work through lunch (at least), and then do less intensive stuff in the afternoon if I’m burned out, or just continue with the hyperfocus session if I’m not. By about 2pm the meds have worn off but I’m in “productive” mode and I usually manage to keep going until 5ish.

The only real downside for me is I’m much less physically active this way - I don’t get up and wander around to chat with someone (if I’m in the office) or go for a walk to clear my head. So there’s definitely some physical activity debt that builds up when I’m medicated.

My 2yo has a shirt that says “dinos are a girls best friend”. I have to say, I could get behind that. Other top contenders: clothing with decent size pockets, dogs, and snacks.

Browser fingerprints are easy enough to block or mimic, though, at least for the solutions I’ve messed with. JavaScript based solutions in particular are tricky because of the privacy implications and the fact that decent privacy focused browsers are starting to block those things automatically.
