I found that once I had my life on track, being diagnosed in my late thirties, it was easier to tackle life without medication. Because methylphenidate is not an easy drug to take. I would swear profusely even when not doing anything and it killed my appetite, which was bad because I rarely ate anyway. It’s just I was hungry but it made me feel sick to eat.
When there are more negatives than the problems it’s fixing I had to make a choice to rawdog life. It just means I have no control over whether I do something. Want to play Minecraft so bad but can’t find the drive, guess we just watching YouTube until Monday then being sad it’s back to work.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. You just described my life, but without the diagnosis or trying meds.
Haha it took me a long time to figure out you meant "sweat." I was busy trying to wrap my head around excessive swearing as a symptom lol
Atomoxetine joins the chat. In cases where drugs with focus on dopamine don't work, such for noradrenaline usually do.

Are those the only two you've tried? Are you open to stimulants?

You sound like somebody I could glean a few good nuggets of wisdom from.
Ask away my friend, I’ll do my best.
