I had to stop methylphenidate as I forget to eat or don’t have an appetite at the best of times and they just wrecked it even more, not to mention sweating profusely whilst sat at my desk.
I have found more structure in doing lots of physical activities outside of work so I’m tired at night. Now I do procrastinate if it’s a rest day and I want to play games but just end up scrolling YouTube instead.
Plus on the eating my appetite is shit and my colleagues think it’s crazy that I start work at 08:00 and go until 14:00 for my lunch then only have 15:00-16:30 left to work. I just love a short afternoon.
I know a quite a few people on stimulant type medications who basically need to treat it as a medication that you take with or after food, precisely because of the risk you describe
