Question about almost constant severe Boredom?????

RustedHalo said:
That's true but it's not really a fair comparison. I'm a hypochondriac and I'm pretty sure I can talk myself into believing I have a glioblastoma. Now, if I were able to get a sympathetic doctor to believe me and start me on temozolomide right away, before having the appropriate diagnostics, chances are I would experience lots of nasty side effects and probably no benefits since I probably don't actually have a brain tumor.

However, say I really don't have ADD. As long as I am reasonably healthy, not especially prone to addictive behavior (or have someone reliable to help me manage my meds) and am aware of the benefits/risks of stimulant medication, the medication is still likely to benefit me. As long as it's taken as prescribed, in therapeutic doses and not abused. If I'm truly ADD, great, I get medicated. If I'm not, still great, I get medicated and still probably get to enjoy the benefits of low therapeutic doses of a stimulant medication.

Same goes for pain meds and any kind of controlled substance. if the patient believes they have a problem, they should be allowed access to medications that will help them. But they need to be told up front the dangers/risks and that if they try to doctor shop or otherwise obtain more medication than agreed upon, they will be cut off. The patient should also be able to tell their prescriber that a medication isn't working effectively anymore and receive an increase or change in type of medicine where appropriate.

Sometimes I honestly just need 10 hydrocodone for a migraine I get occasionally. But the amount of effort required just isn't worth it so I just suffer through. That doesn't seem fair.

This is the craziest idea Ive ever heard. Give people medication because they believe they have a problem?

Learning to experience life is the secret to true happiness.

Oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins, ever heard of these?

These are released at excessive and dangerous levels when using recreational drugs, they are responsible for euphoria.

How do we release these naturally- yes, it's possible- is the only question you should be asking yourself.

Oxytocin is why we feel better around those we like. It's released when we feel unity and trust.

Serotonin is why we feel accomplishment. It's released when we challenge our abilities, also when we succeed.

Endorphin is why we feel surprisingly calm when injured. It's released when we're harmed. Exercising is a productive way of utilizing this.

Dopamine is why we feel amped. It's released when we are concerned or take risks.


These wonderful chemicals are responsible for devolping our character, we should be very grateful to have such loving bodies and minds. :D

OP, your problem is simply you are living in a world where drugs are your world. Get the fuck off the drugs, get out and experience the world. Don't seek pleasure from drugs, seek pleasure from getting out and enjoying life. Save drugs for rare occasions, not to live.

I obviously meant within reasonable limits. Drug companies advertise directly to patients, through every form of media, based on this "crazy" idea.

And I'm not even sure anymore if this is the appropriate forum for this discussion anymore, but since we started it I'm going to add 2 more cents.

There should be another word to describe the feeling ADD people have when they say they are "bored." Bored simply doesn't begin to adequately describe the never ending feeling of restlessness and frustration. I have literally been at Disneyland and been bored to actual tears. The routine documentation that is part of my job is an insurmountable mountain of hell. The likelihood that I will ever be able to finish it consistently enough to stay gainfully employed for a significant stretch of time is far less than that of me getting knocked out dead by a rogue champagne cork.

Unless I take Adderall. Then it's still an insurmountable mountain of hell, but this time at least I remembered to wear hiking boots instead of flip flops and had the wherewithal to grab a bottle of water.

I hope this makes sense to someone so they can get treated earlier in life than I did. I had to wait till my late 20's to finally get to feel some degree of security in my life.

Sorry ADHD is a fake disease and that is not your problem. That disease was simply created by pharmaceutical companies to milk money from consumers off them amp pills. Get that out of your head, all of you that are convinced and diagnosed with that bullshit excuse for a disease.

This is borderline harsh...
