I've been on Ritalin before and said I wanted to go back on on it.

He said that it was bad for me and to drink coffee instead.

Is this legal? Sounds similar to prescribing booze for pain/depression

AKA he knows youre faking your symptoms so you can get drugs for recreational use or selling.

I'm not though. I'm already prescribed real hard drugs for multiple pituitary tumors and issues that come with it

I also drink 2-5 cups of tea a day

I also hate most coffee

Did you get an actual prescription or did he just not believe in your diagnosis?

Pretty sure its not a great idea to tell the doctor what kind of prescription you think you want.

He told me he couldn't do that again because it had bad side effects and that's it

I've had prescription from 16- 25/26 or so and I'm 27 now so it's not like I stopped taking it for several years.

I've been diagnosed and prescribed it by him not too long ago

If something previously worked for you then it's sensible and welcomed usually.

It's fine when you have a diagnosis.

FWIW, caffeine does kind of help with ADHD.

But still kinda sounds like bullshit.

No I mean, did you get an actual prescription for coffee? He should put his money where his mouth is and give you that.

It does? I've seen a lot of ADHD people saying that coffee does nothing for them. As in, doesn't even keep them awake.

No, not an actual prescription considering he only does electronic ones and that wouldn't make sense. But that's what he told me to take for it.

I think the idea is that stimulants have the opposite effect on people with ADHD.

This. Caffeine has been shown to have the opposite of the expected effect on people with hyperactive disorders.

Interesting. I read up on it a little and I suppose it makes sense with the dopamine stuff and all
