    Hi! I take my prescription amphetamines but still self medicate with caffeine and nicotine, how did you make the switch instead of just stacking?

      I tried different prescription meds until I found one that worked for me without bad side effects.

      I’m honestly bad at taking my meds, but I take them when I really need to focus on something. But, my current job lets me flit from task to task, so I usually have something novel to work on and so don’t need the meds. I do still take coffee, but only about a large cup a day.

      Sorry that’s not more helpful.
