I CAN GET STIMULANTS (piefed.blahaj.zone)

If someone of you have been following my posts, you'll know I said that i probably can't get stimulants due to a bad ticker. but i saw my GP yesterday, and while i was there, i asked her about whether my heart problem would stop me from being on stimulants, and she said no!

So hopefully when i see my psychiatrist, i will give him a copy of the holter monitor results, and hopefully he will be able to give me stimulants if he diagnoses me with ADHD!

I thought the doctor said something like arrhythmia, but i got my results the other week sometime, and it wasn't anything. she said there's nothing showing as something that would cause me to not be able to take stimulants

Oh right, I'm glad for you it wasn't anything! Now go get your stimulants tiger!

gotta get dx'd first. I have my computer test in a few weeks, then i will got for my follow-up, and hopefully get diagnosed. tbh, I'm not 100% sure i actually want stimulants. I had insomnia for 1.5 decades. i can't go back to that. But it's good to have the option available.

Would ADHD meds cause insomnia? I have no idea, I thought the drug would be out of your system by bedtime, although if you're anything like me and can't sleep because you looked in the direction of a bag of coffee after 1pm, I'd imagine it's very possible it could affect your sleep. And I agree that's not something you'd want, perish the thought! Well best of luck to you!
