Well this is good news- started meds in my 40s and at 62 I’m grateful for them every day. And yes, I am dependent on them- to treat my medical condition. Missed yesterday- no withdrawal other then mid morning headache but I still have ADHD, that’s for sure!

You're not #ADHD. You're a person. No one says, "I'm asthma." A medical condition shouldn't be our identity. If you are medicated, change medications. Medication should change #ADHD, not you.

#ADHD is associated with premature death. It doubles the risk of suicide (even in the absence of depression) & addiction. It triples the risk of car accidents. If you're a gifted person who happens to have #ADHD, don't give it credit for your awesomeness. That's about you!

Insurance companies with limited formularies or requirements for step-therapy with generic #ADHD meds are contributing significantly to the supply issues with these meds. When seeking solutions, examine who profits from problems in the US healthcare system.

Daughter: mom do you get paid when you’re on call. Me: only the RVUs from babies seen at the hospital or patients seen in clinic. Also me: which sounds ridiculous now that I say it out loud. We do so much uncompensated work as physicians.

This is your business but please consider this. You have pulled your voice, which is the macro healing antidote for the stuff you're protesting. We need your voice.
Don't you hate it when the doctor is right? Him: You'd have more energy if you were more active. Me without the energy to be active: Would I though? Me next day after short workout: Where did all this energy come from? I'm focused...
Everyone wants to rename #ADHD. My suggestion- instead of Attention DEFICIT Hyperactivity Disorder how about Attention DYSREGULATION Hyperactivity Disorder?Sometimes too much and often not enough. Thoughts?
