tweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.

      Maybe do some research and learn something instead of perpetuating that everyone needs drugs.

      You’re using the excuses abusers use to justify continuing to abuse it. You’re nothing but a druggie.

      If you are hav¬ing trouble with everyday functioning because of ADHD, then trying drug treatment makes sense. If the impact of ADHD is minor and you’ve figured out coping strategies without a formal diagnosis and treatment plan, your doctor may instead advise treatments that don’t involve medications

      Anyone who thinks they need drugs to function are abusers and I feel sorry for their friends and family that have to suffer by putting up with it.

      We “gwyneth paltrow”s may actually know something here, if you put the drugs down so the rest of us can have the medication.

          Was more than willing to have a discussion until you went off the rails.

          I’m sorry you’ve been lied to by your doctors, but there is other methods, and lying about it to others won’t help them.

          Please stop the spread of misinformation.

      What does that got to do with your doctors refusing to listen to newer techniques that have long disproven the older methods outdated?

      If you think someone needs to be medicated to function, I feel sorry for wherever you live, since that attitude just leads to opioid issues. Proven over and over.

      Maybe listen to the newfound information, you may learn something that would actually help you.

          Is Harvard a good enough source for you…?

          There’s hundreds more sources that all say the same thing from this newer information……

          But hey, let’s listen to the druggie lmfao. It even mentions what I described about it disturbing already established coping mechanisms…. Would you fucking look at that…….

          Says the one with grammar mistakes lmfao.

          It’s funny that people say that someone has an attitude when they are only explaining that there has been newer information that doctors have been using.

          I feel sorry for your doctors are following proven outdated methods that lead to opioid issues. Most of the people responding to me are proving that stigma. They are all “I need my drugs to function” and “it’s caused by my bad home”.

          Both of those statements are factual incorrect and are used by abusers to justify their “need”.

          But yea I’m fucking my kid up by not wanting to drug him for life lmfao. That’s an interesting perspective and I feel sorry for your friends and family that have to suffer putting up with a medicine abuser.
