Was on Ritalin in the 90s. Helped my focus, but also made me uncontrollably angry at everything and I would lash out at myself and things around me. Was on it from 11 to 16. I think I would like to do that time over again and just have poor focus.

For me it’s honestly the other way around. I’d love to experience my childhood knowing what ADHD is and how drugs could help
