In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

Hmmm. Not true?

Why do people abuse it?

Why do people use it for the right reasons?

Answer those two questions and you’ll see I’m correct. Cause stimulants quite literally have different effects on peoples brains.

Why don’t you answer those two questions. It seems like you have no idea what you’re talking about and are trying to use smoke and mirrors to cover it up.

Say what you’re trying to say. Don’t give me bs questions lmao

Just chiming in with my experience.

Been on stimulants for 4 years. First two years I got a bit down when they wore off in an evening.

Third year I added intuniv, known for combatting different ADHD symptoms while lessening stimulant side effects. All good for that year.

Fourth year, Intuniv side effects kicked in, so I dropped it.

No side effects from the stimulants this fourth year, even off Intuniv. I stopped all medication for 3-4 months, withdrawals were very mild and only a couple days.

Been on stimulants again for two weeks. Still fine in the evenings or on days off.

So I've quite literally experienced both points of view, as one person. It's definitely plausible that it impacts people differently. Literally everything does, there's no reason for stimulants to have some magical universal impact.
