I know I should be asking my doctor, but even though getting an appointment with a neurologist is free, it takes months where I live.
My problem is that I sometimes have severe pain in the stomach and abdomen. I have had acute Pancreatitis in the past and I fear it might become chronic (pancreas digesting itself).
Is this just a coincidence or does Methylphenidate damage my pancreas further?
Additional info:
-
I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 6
-
This is the first time I am taking medication
-
Daily Dose is 30mg total (extended release 15mg and 15mg)
-
I am not on any other medication

Nah insurance doesn’t cover that one
Hilariously, sometimes they do, but only after you’ve tried everything else. Also, Adderall is about 25% meth.
So if you take 4 you have 100% meth? Wow

Also you can see the color blurple
@ProcurementCat @adhd Wait, is this a thing?
That’s a joke from the TV series “Community”. One guy is in a cult (“Reformed Neo Buddhism”) and he says once he becomes a Level 6 Laser Lotus he will be able to see the color blurple
Can confirm this is 146% how percentages work. Meth away!
