            No judgement here - if I were to lose access to my meds I would spiral rapidly into a melted chaotic mess.

            I’m not one to recommend illegal behaviour, but I know that if I were to, hypothetically, lose my prescription, I would be sourcing whichever amphs were doing the rounds and “microdosing” them. The risk and instability would be worth the benefits of keeping my head juiced. That’s a backup plan I’ve already come to terms with, morally speaking.

            Hypothetical, as I said.

      There’s a thing called instant release and it tends to last only like 4 hours. 4 hours is what the doctors say- for me, it lasts about 1 and a half, or 2.

        The comic specifically says it’s XR tho. Still, given how many people have a problem with forgetting to take their mods, having some backup at work might not be a bad idea if you need it to be able to function.

          Additionally, I work 12 hour shifts, so I either have to do an IR in the afternoon, or an XR in the late morning…

            Also, wouldn’t it be recommended to do exercise when you aren’t on stimulants? So if you have like a 1 hour bike commute in, then you’d be taking medicine more than hour earlier than necessary and be exercising on stimulants.
