ADHD Where can one discuss the struggle of having ADHD and being affected by SUD(Substance Use Disorder)?

[RepeatedIgnorance2c-74]

Hello all, will keep this short, we wanted to see or discuss how others have learned to navigate, the intertwine of ADHD and SUD. What are some things you learned, what are some things you discovered in regards to it, how did you learn to adapt and manage them. Lastly how do you learn to identify when something is ADHD or a result of SUD?

If this is the wrong area, we apologize, we wish everyone well, always practice harm reduction please.

SUD is a very commonly experienced in people who are late diagnosed ADHD where the person can make up for their dopamine that is lacking. I was definiantl;y drawn to methamphetamine as my main drug of choise for a while and it was not something that i have found to be somthing that would be good used long term although early days siince finding out how it reacted psychoactivly with me personally i was starting of at least 300mg and anything less felt like a waste although over time instead of my methamphetamine use increasing in the amount it has like some other people I have spoken to that are like myself our tolerance to it has decreased and unable to tolerate anywhere near that dose.it also lost one of the things that the drug is known for how it causes the need for redosing a aqlot more than other amphetamines
