I'd like to start off by saying I've not taken methylphenidate for a prolonged period of time, only tried it a few times in order to get an experience of how it feels and if it might be the right med for me 1/6 The concentration difference was phenomenal, absolutely no background noise, easy to sit down and start work and to keep going on until my work was finished. For someone who can't even sit and focus for 15 minutes at a stretch, it was amazing. I could easily work 6-8 hours. 2/6

🧵 The fact that psychiatrists will go on blindly prescribing SSRIs, beta blockers and even benzodiazepenes to their patients for prolonged periods of times without even informing them of the long term risks and that meds aren't gonna magically solve all their issues is just.. ...seriously appalling. They tell people how depression/anxiety/ADHD/literally any mental disorder is just a chemical imbalance in your brain and how this certain medication will treat you by bringing your brain to the right balance again...
