    Mine isn’t problematic enough to consider them (I think I’ve only met one dude that NEEDED to be medicated, IMO) and, besides the clumsiness, I actually enjoy it. The restlessness, the racing thoughts, the constant motion (I’m singing, under my breath or not, and ‘microdancing’ most of the day)… they not only make life fun, but they’re also integral parts of myself. But that works for me, others might have to bite the bullet and get medicated the same way I’ve had to undergo surgery when needed. 🤷

      I wouldnt want to not have access to the meds but i disagree one needs ro take them chronically or everyday if they’ve setup the necessary compensatory systems but I also dont have chidren or a super professional career so thats a huge grain of salt i should be taken with
