Why did I stop taking my ADHD meds?

Published March 5, 2024 by Malia

The simple answer?  American health care sucks, even if you have insurance.  Normally my med is $40.  That is on the very far end of what I can manage to afford.  When I refilled it last week, my total came to $365. 

I’ve now been out of my med for almost a week and today I could tell that it’s almost out of my system.  It’s miserable and exhausting and my emotions are starting to get much more difficult to deal with.  Plus, I’m super tired and my brain won’t shut up so I can fall asleep. 

As much as I enjoy making the “Squirrel!” joke, the truth is ADHD is so much more than just getting easily distracted.  And my med helps me keep it from getting too out of control. 

Fingers crossed my provider can help me find a med I can afford that will work.

I’m off my ADHD meds at the moment, so here’s some random thoughts about movies I grew up with.

If you watch Back to the Future and skip Back to the Future III and instead go immediately to Back to the Future III, you are going to be a bit confused.  Growing up I was allowed to watch the first and third movies, but I wasn’t allowed to watch the second until I was in my mid-teens. 

Same situation with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.  I was allowed to watch that, but not Wrath of Khan or Search for Spock.  When I got old enough that I was allowed to see them, suddenly parts of Voyage Home made so much more sense.

If you’re looking for some deep life lesson in this little anecdote, I fear you’ll walk away disappointed.  Though, I suppose there is some sort of lesson here regarding not removing parts of stories.  Again, I’ll leave it to you to make that interpretation. 

Honestly, I could probably write a novel based on all the things from my childhood that people find incredibly strange.  Maybe I will.  We’ll see…
