      Oops, no, it raises it. It lowers your pressure when peeing lol. I crossed the wires.

      It’s Atomoxetine for context.

      I forget what it’s called but there is one medication that doesn’t act as a stimulant and is closer to that of an antidepressant

        Could be Bupropion or Atomoxetine. I’ve been on the former, but it didn’t do a lot for my ADHD. It did give me a wonderful few weeks filled with panic attacks and having my mind convinced that every little ache I felt must be because I was dying of something. Of course everybody responds differently, so don’t let that deter you if it is prescribed, but for me I never want to touch that stuff again.

          I tried Atomoxetine and didn’t like it, I don’t recall any major mental benefits (maybe my motivation was non existent) but I did recall MAJOR sex related side effects that absolutely sucked.

            Wow, that’s rough. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I’ve been taking it for probably close to 8 months now give or take? No side effects like that but I’m still not entirely sold on it. It helps me focus, but I get sweats/chills from it, and it really fucks with my mood sometimes. I also don’t like how super hyperfocused I get sometimes while on it.
