I’ve had more help with my ADHD symptoms from a series of DMT experiences, than I ever did from the mainstream treatment process. One single DMT experience (containing about an objective hour of intensely being dragged through time) greatly minimized my ADHD symptoms for at least six months. There is untapped potential in psychedelics for treatment of things like this. It’s a crime against humanity that we allowed neurotypicals to decide for everyone how these neurochemistries are managed.
ADHD treatment is not ADHD friendly. Society is not ADHD friendly. Neurotypicals literally have the same scale of mental privilege as whites do in a racial context.
I agree with this. I also had significant success by permanently alleviating the major symptoms of ADHD (like bumping into walls, not cleaning room, not being able to pay bills on time) with 1 trip of LSD about 8 years ago. I don't even drink coffee, and I'm getting by with the occasional bouts of anxiety which I can deal with separately. I also occasionally do Ayahuasca for trauma/childhood healing work - which I suspect many people with ADHD have.
I found it weird that people can get banned for talking about their anecdotal experiences with psychedelics on the ADHD subreddit too. Seems like some people are more comfortable being with the ADHD community and sticking with the status quo regimens, than actually doing something completely new.
I think it's cos that community is a very wide range of people, some of which are very young. It's not like HN where we are all older and generally a crowd who really likes to tackle problems from an intellectual angle and try things out to get the data on them. That subreddit kinda has to stick to the lowest common denominator which is just following the standard advice.
Very interesting to hear of your experiences in this thread though. Maybe we need an r/ADHND for all us ADHDers on HN :P

Wow this is profound to say the least, thanks for making this connection I've intuitively felt but could not articulate the impact of my ADHD and potential to succeed in life starting from an early age.
