Intuniv, Strattera, Concerta, and Vyvanse can be prescribed for ADHD in Japan. Ritalin is also available but not for ADHD, though travelers can bring a maximum of 2.16g of methylphenidate. Other stimulants such as Adderall are not allowed.

Most doctors would be willing to prescribe a different medication for the duration of your trip. It of course won't be ideal, but it would be a temporary hiccup that might be worth it considering you seem to be really excited for the trip.

Millennials have higher rates of mental illness than previous generations. We are far from fine.

Please do not imply that I did not fully read the post because you did not like my answer. I noted in my comment that I realize the situation is not ideal, and I provided information that I thought might be worth reconsidering. I'm sorry I did not realize that adjusting your medication is such a hard no for you.

However, it is disingenuous to claim that Japan "absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country" when that simply isn't true, and this was causing multiple people in the comments to come to false conclusions. Many other people would consider a temporary adjustment agreeable, and it is unfair to lead people to believe that this isn't possible unless they can tolerate non-stimulant medication.

Bouldering is good for building muscle, so I think your problem is you need to eat more. You can work out all day, but you'll stay skinny if you don't eat.

They did pass a law prohibiting race based hair discrimination in Texas. The school is arguing that the law does not apply to them because it does not specifically mention hair length, and they're suspending him on the basis that his hair would be too long if he didn't have it styled.

They delete those

I did read that which is why I noted in my comment that I realize it won't be ideal but may be worth reconsidering for the opportunity. I also wanted to provide some more complete information for the people in the comments who were gleaning false conclusions from misleading information.

Sorry you had to find out this way

FYI, Ritalin (methylphenidate HCl) is not an amphetamine. Methylphenidates and amphetamines are considered separate drug classes for treating ADHD. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/11766-adhd-medication

If you're using an app, you may need to adjust image quality in the settings. I thought the same thing until I tapped the HD button in Boost.

I think I read that one and it was dumb AF. Basically just a bunch of anecdotes about rich celebrities with ADHD having successful careers.

Ritalin is also allowed

Where? I get my prescription renewed every 90 days, but it has to be sent as 3 separate prescriptions, and you have to wait at least 28 days in between filling each one.

Ritalin/Concerta is also allowed.

Yup I will sit there hyper focused on code for hours and often ignore the need to eat, hydrate, or urinate, which results in frequent UTIs, dehydration headaches, eye strain, and chronic back/hip pain. People say hyper focus is a super power, but it comes at a cost. Meds help with powering through undesirable tasks, but they can make the hyper focus even worse.

Maybe you should find a different doctor. My anxiety did not improve until I went on ADHD meds.

Just go to the instance website and there will be a link to the modlog usually at the bottom of the page.

HBO/Discovery has an exclusivity deal, which expires in 2025. The show is owned by Sesame Workshop. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/sesame-street-hbo-max-pbs-deal-1235252239/

"Enough said…Grab your shirt here!” Haley fired back on Thursday in a post on X (formerly Twitter) along with a link to a t-shirt that reads “Barred. Permanently,” which donors can purchase for five bucks.

That and any game with loot boxes

I have gotten much better about not procrastinating, but it takes me much longer to get anything done if I'm not in the mood to do it. I don't know if it's worth it. There's less guilt I guess.

I remember being in school 20 years ago and being taught about scale inaccuracies and the importance of frequent calibration. The thing about weight loss is that you will lose weight if you're in a deficit. Your daily calorie needs are going to fluctuate a little bit, regardless. Most people don't keep activity the exact same, sleep the exact same, take exactly the same steps everyday, plus hormones fluctuate, etc. Your measurements don't have to be precise, just close enough. People have also lost weight with sloppy volumetric measurements, counting out chips, or even eyeballing the amount of space taken up on their plate. MyPlate.gov was rolled out after consumer research found that it works.

Gen X and boomers still go to the Dr and undergo depression screenings, yet Gen X has roughly half the rates of depression as gen z and millennials. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9934502/

No hard feelings. I did notice that the ministry documentation was written rather confusingly, so I can see how it could be twisted. It does say you can email them with inquiries at least.

Age related hearing loss can actually make you more sensitive to certain sounds. I have difficulty understanding speech but increased sensitivity to sounds including electrical buzzing.

It does not say that in the OP. They said "I don't really want to... risk going on a new medication for the trip" which is not the same as "please don't give me advice on alternative medication" and was also preceded by a false claim that no other stimulants would be allowed.

If you have an instant pot, you can make rice in that. I've ignored it for like 40 minutes before, and the worst thing that happens is that it gets a little dry, which you can then fix by microwaving it in a bowl with a splash of water.

What kind of steroids?

I think you're thinking of sike, which was common slang in the 90s. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sike

Well you also need to be eating at a calorie surplus of a few hundred extra calories per day, but that will ideally happen naturally if you focus on adding more protein to your existing diet. If you're going the protein powder route, you'll probably want to have it as an extra meal rather than a meal substitute. If you still struggle, you may need to track your calories to help you adapt.

YouTube can be a good source for some high protein vegan meal ideas. If you can do soy, TVP is a good option. If you can do gluten, chickmeat/seitan is good.

Maybe get a 1 month organizer or a few more weekly ones so you only have to refill once a month. There are also timer lock box or pill cap gadgets.

Yeah I'm definitely aging faster than most of my family.

It's not about the distraction. I can throw my phone across the room and still not be able to get up. I can remove all distractions, and I will still stare off into space and not get anything done.

As I stated in my previous comment, it was not clear. You told me I was wrong, you continue to reply to me with false information, and you wonder why I respond defending myself. OP does not seem to have hard feelings about this, so I don't understand why you seem to.

Unfortunately, we all did not spell it that way. It was misspelled so often that "sike" became the common spelling. I don't think most people knew the origins of the term.

Agreed, but we're specifically talking about looking at depraved content on the Internet.

If you are in the US, then you can get a BSCS for pretty cheap at Western Governors University. It's $4k per semester and self paced, so it's possible to graduate in one semester. I did it in 3 semesters with unmedicated ADHD, and FAFSA grants covered most of it.

It says he'll be in level 4 general population. I found the California corrections department manual which says one pair of tennis shoes with "shoe laces white only" are allowed for level 4 gen pop, as well as SHU and psychiatric, but not allowed for intake or ad-seg.
