    Was banned for saying that it’s not very difficult to self-med on !@[email protected] due to “bad advice”, by some overzealous janny. When this guy just shows Dread it’s a-ok though. Literally 1984.

    In general self-medicating safely is something us ADHDers should come together around and build a community to share advice on how to do it while minimizing harm. For those of us who are also trans, this is not at all unfamiliar and most trans people I’ve known either self-medicate or used to.

      Because you’re not a doctor, or any sort of medical professional, and even if you were, you couldn’t recommend medicine to other people for self-medication. Everybody’s different, and responds to medication differently.

      Literally.

      How about coming together, gather around Congress, and get them to change the law? Or broadcast what this bullshit is to more people? Or vote for people who push this as an issue?

      That seems a helluva lot more useful than a community of people pretending they know what they are talking about and literally dying because somebody recommended they go order black market tainted shit online.

        Did you watch the video? The guy explained pretty well that he acquired the very same medication he is already prescribed. He was fairly balanced in the fact that he’s not suggesting it’s risk-free and neither am I. For me - the risks were 100% worth it, and I want others to be educated enough about the realities of it to make the decision for themselves.

        Nevertheless I recommended myself the medication prior to diagnosis and was basically prescribed the same stuff when I was eventually diagnosed.
