I’m going to claim the self-appointed title of resident effortposter for that comm. (There are other really good effortposters in there too - they are welcome to appoint themselves to this title too.)

I’ve been threatening for a long time to do an effortpost on the different medications that can be used for ADHD, including a lot of less commonly prescribed ones that are off the beaten track. I really should get onto doing that. Even if the typical stimulants aren’t available I’d be utterly shocked if there were zero meds available that can treat ADHD, so there is very likely some opportunities to consider even if Romania is strict about it.

Idk the lay of the land where you are but Eastern European countries often have access to Russian medications that are basically nonexistent in the west too, like phenylpiracetam, so you might have some options in this regard (although I’m out of my depth there).

That’s assuming that you actually want to explore options for ADHD meds.

At the risk of self-promotion, I wrote this effortpost about how auDHD feels for me internally because there’s very little out there on what it’s like having both, especially since the ways that autistic and ADHD traits interact and either compensate or aggravate each other makes it feel kinda like you’re in a no-man’s-land between autism and ADHD. I know for me, whenever I’m around ADHDers I walk away thinking “Goddamn, I’m so autistic” and when I’m around autistic people I walk away thinking “Goddamn, I’m so ADHD” lol. Anyway, you might find that post interesting.

I like to weigh in on medication, mental health, neurodevelopmental disorders (esp. ADHD and autism), and all the stuff surrounding these issues like accessibility, therapy, education, accommodations, burnout and so on. You’re welcome to ping me or to tag me in a post/a comment to seek my input, and topics like these usually get something worthwhile out of me.
