the trick to making polyamory work is an adderall prescription

As someone who’s had a very back and forth relationship with Adderall there are a few things I wish I’d gotten a heads up about. Everyone’s experience is different but these are some things I don’t see mentioned often that you might want to consider:

- your mouth gets dry. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but it actually reeaallly impacts your dental hygiene over time. You have to accommodate that.

- you can get dehydrated really easily. Drinking water alone might not be enough. Electrolyte drinks (Gatorade, pedialyte, electrolit) are really essential.

- If you experience appetite loss, that’s something you need to pay close attention to and put real time and energy into accommodating.

- you can lose weight very quickly without realizing it. That can be very dangerous, and I mean immediate consequences AND long term consequences dangerous. In my case it was a significant factor in developing osteoporosis at the age of 21. And, I just want to be clear, I did not and do not have an eating disorder. I never intentionally lost weight, but it still got that bad because I wasn’t proactive when it started happening.

- just to give you a clear sense of what the appetite effects can feel like, the most common for me are/were “I’m too focused to eat”, “I’m not in the mood/not hungry” and “food tastes like cardboard” (this happens a lot and it sucks)

- It’s not a big deal but no one ever mentions it and I feel like it’s worth having a heads up: you shit more often, the same way you would from drinking a lot of coffee.

- you have to be on top of your medical stuff. Adderal is notoriously tedious to maintain consistent access to. You have to be communicating with your doctor and your insurance and your pharmacy. You have to be on time to your psychiatry appointments. These are all things that are easier to do when you’re on medication, so you have to be proactive. It’s a lot harder to get back on top of it if you run out.

That’s it for now, I might come back and add stuff. Just to be clear, these aren’t the most important things to know, they’re just the things you might not come across as often when doing your own research (which you should do).

* Also this is obviously for people getting a prescription. If you’re taking it without a prescription and without adhd/etc, it’s not going to affect you the same way at all. It also might fuck you up real bad, and besides there are better and safer drugs to be doing recreationally that don’t make it harder for people who actually need it to access it. But hey I’m not a cop, just do right by yourself.
