I’ve seen suggestions of a link between ADHD and restless leg syndrome in the past, but that was many years ago. Checking Wikipedia’s RLS page now it states up to 44% of people with ADHD also have RLS.

I did have issues with it as a child, but was able to get it under control in early adulthood. Although around the same period I also started on Strattera and anti-anxiety medications - so maybe that helped sort it out.

I noticed it says placebos to be very effective, maybe you can get some of those OTC 😆

So in England and Australia, does “Labour” mean fascist?

This right here.

We have plans more extensive than that. They are random scribbles that take up at least half that notepad.

I had ChatGPT make a press release for them to help make the streets of Norfolk County safer:

Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.

I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.

An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.

This right here. I don’t know why, but Telemann got me through university… well, Telemann and Dexedrine.

I mean they murder and assault innocent civilians and face next to zero accountability for that, so I wouldn’t expect them to walk park appropriately and actually walk to get their doughnuts.

That is awful. I hope you can find relief somewhere.

I’ve been lucky and the drugs are a godsend for me, despite having the gene that makes me hyper metabolize stimulants (which basically means they don’t last long enough in my system).

It is seriously under-appreciated how awful this disorder is in the modern world - especially if you are not of the wealthier classes.

Yeah, you never see the Cons trying that sort of thing! Disgusting libs using what a politician actually says and does against them - presposterous!

Does no one see the irony of a negative post complaining about negativity?

Dexedrine got me through university, though with some issues.

Obviously, like all the big stimulants, sleep can be an issue.

Exercise was a problem - the revving of the cardiovascular system by the drug was heightened during exercise and not a nice feeling at all.

Your body builds up a tolerance to it, so regular ‘vacations’ from it may be needed to counter that.

It was 20 years ago when I took it, and was covered by a drug plan that only had a $0.35 payment at the pharmacy, so don’t know about the costs. It’s a really old drug, dating back to the late 1800s, so it seems like it shouldn’t be that expensive, but then I’m not a greedy pharmaceutical company, so what do I know.
