I don’t care. Just don’t call it speed.

I will admit that most of my experience is with methylphenidate because that is what I am prescribed. I am not familiar with amphetamines.

Alright now you can fuck all the way off. I’ve been diagnosed and treated for more than half of my life. I’ve dealt with family members, employers, even DOCTORS who dismiss my disability because they see ADHD afflicted people as nothing more than “pill poppers who can’t function without their SPEED”. I’ve had to buy a safe to secure my meds to prevent them from being stolen by my roommate’s guests who think they’re just an easy way to study for their exams. I’ve had to get drug tested by my doctor every 6 months just to continue qualifying for my perscription. So FORGIVE ME for having a PERSONAL ISSUE with how MY MEDICATION IS CHARACTERIZED.
If you have ADHD and can get away with calling your medication “speed” or “meth”, fine. How fortunate for you that your access to your medication is so secure and consistent that you can joke about it.
I am not “white-knighting” these problems, I am fucking living them.

Please refrain from mischaracterizing my comment. I clearly state that I am talking about Methylphenadate, as found in Concerta and Ritalin, and highlighting its distinction from the street drug Methamphetamine. There are many different medications that are prescribed to treat ADHD including some that are classically known as antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and antipsychotics.
I did not claim they were not controlled substances, but I insist that any medication prescribed by a doctor should not be referred to by a street shorthand. This increases the likelyhood of abuse and benefits no one.

Methylphenadate is chemically different from Methamphetamines. They are produced differently. They are processed in different ways by the body. They have different effects on the brain. And most importantly, they are prescribed from a medical professional.
You’re perpetuating an incredibly harmful stigma that directly impacts the lives of those struggling with ADHD, including your loved ones.

Please do not call ADHD medication “speed”. It is chemically different from what you would find on the street. (Methylphenadate != Methamphetamine)
Associating doctor-perscribed medication with illegal drugs perpetuates a stigma which creates many problems for people struggling with ADHD.

I hate spotify with a passion. Despite this, there are a few reasons I’m still on it:
- Sharing music is trivial (less so now due to link cleaning)
- I love exploring new music and the Discover Weekly feature has been quite effective.
- Flawless Last.FM compatibility.
If anyone has alternative(s) they recommend I’d love to try them out.

I was able to move roughly ~80 percent of my friend group to Signal. At a certain point, I let everyone know what I was doing and how to find me. Once people realized I ditched every other platform and was fully committed, they joined.
Different people have different tolerances, but if you’re consistent, downloading an app isn’t such a big ask.

It helps that it’s run by a nonprofit. No investors, no shareholders, no inevitable IPO.
