Semantics. But perhaps it works for some and not for others. It's a fine line between AD(H)D and not AD(H)D.

I have ADD proper. I use vyvanse 30 mg. In my attempt to preserve my sense of dignity, I avoid taking it except when necessary. For you , i recommend using caffiene. It's legaler, cheaper, comes in many great flavors, and would make life easier for those of us who actually do need prescription...

I'm really really sensitive to caffiene. A quarter bottle of Mountain Dew gives me the jitters. The only time I'll consume caffeine is a bottle of Dr. Pepper when -I didn't get enough sleep the previous night -I'm out of ADHD meds -I'm at work (dentist) assisting with a particularly difficult...

I'm playing devil's advocate here, but bear in mind that smoking feels reeeal gooood.

Wow, you know that idea is pretty revolutionary. It never even occurred to me that universal accreditation is almost pointless in terms of practicality.

First off, good for you! I was really shocked at how well regular exercise lifts my mood. I've noticed it definetely boosts my energy and motivation levels, and I'm willing to bet it will for you too! (hope I don't sound like a Richard Simmons tape). I know workout advice is a dime a dozen, but...

Upon objective consideration, I came to the conclusion that privatizing education in the US through voucher systems would solve many, many problems at once. Transitioning to the voucher system: Solve the impracticality of a homogenized system (NCLB, etc.) Solve the lack of parental...

Lisdexamfetamine (vyvanse) for ADD, which is a legitimate neurobiological disorder by the way. Creatine- not sure if it technically counts as a nootripic, but I find it helps fine-tune my focus. Fish oil- I don't notice any difference when taking it, but wikipedia says so... Tried stratterra...

Self-medication for ADD/ADHD

Heh, if more of you were INTJ's it would be easier to get a "yes" or "no" instead of a laundry list of conditions. :smoker:

Hey INTPf, this is a post from my blog about my perspective of the topic of Global Warming. I'd love to hear your opinions of it. Here's the link to my blog if any of you are interested in following or reading some of my other posts. http://acreativelytitledblog.blogspo...cientists.html...

In short, taking care of weak or poorly adapted members of a population, which paradoxically contradicts the idea of natural selection and survival of the fittest. @SpaceYeti, High School in Texas, intelligent design galore >.>. I haven't taken any classes Darwinism/evolution would be taught in...

In every science class I've been in that taught about evolution, it was centered on natural selection and gradual population changes. I have since read much of Darwin's works and journals, and I got the impression that evolution by natural selection was not the crux of his theory. I got the...

Out of curiosity, to those who live in/near Amsterdam and have lived elsewhere, do you feel the society as a whole is different between where it is legal and where it is not? Also, I was wondering if anybody has ever used nutmeg? I recall a friend put an unholy amount in his coffee one night...

Uh, logic, anybody? I don't like weddings either, but being supportive takes precedence over my personal disliking of the ceremonies involved. But back to the logic part, free food.

I'm an INTJ. You found me. Sorry it took so long, I was off feeding my unicorn.

Sam Vaknin, is that you?

No no no, you guys are making it way too complicated. Are you awesome? Yes ---> INTJ No----> INTP

I think there's a definite correlation between being an INTx and the Triad of Idiopathic Psychological Illnesses (as I like to call it): Autism, AD(H)D, and OCD. First, let us make some assumptions: -Every individual uses each of the 8 functions of the MBTI; the MBTI type indicated preference...

@pjoa No, not catatonic, but just about. You very well may have those symptoms, but a major qualifier for ADD (and any other psych disorder) is "does it significantly interfere with your ability to perform day to day tasks?" For me, the answer is heck yes. For you, the answer may be no. @GYX...

I will be contacting the Lancet and will take all credit for this. Thank you :)

Took the words right out of my mouth. I have ADD (aka ADHD-I) and I truly can not function without the medication. It does not hamper my creativity; it enhances my ability to express it. There is nothing creative about my mind because of ADD; it basically makes me a packet of reflexes. You...

What if Einstein just completed his assignments and never wondered what he would see when running along a beam of light? Thank goodness I'm in higher education where such debate is encouraged ^.^ After my Physics teacher expressed her frustration at my contradicting all the rules, I did an...

Anything that reminds me of my childhood (thinking about the future makes me feel happy). Absence of a challenge. People who follow the same religion as me for all the perfectly wrong reasons. and the kicker... The painful realization I am undeniably average and not exceptional in any way.

I use small daily doses of prescribed lisdexamfetamine to compensate for my low baseline cognitive arousal. In retrospect, I probably didn't give the most accurate description. My apologies. :o

I may be dependent on meth, but it's not the same as being a junkie.

Meth is great. For treating ADHD. Props to all the recreational users who make getting my prescription a pain in the rear.

Sorry to disappoint you. And no, it's not insanity bullcrap. Read this thread, it will help explain what I mean. http://intjforum.com/showthread.php?t=49980

Over at INTJf, the prevailing consensus is that we all have a constant internal dialogue/monologue, imagined conversations, etc. I was wondering if this is characteristic of our perceiving brethren?

My apologies if this has been done before.

String theory. The rigirous definition of a Scientific theory says that it must be testable, and no aspect of string theory is testable, despite how much I want it to be true.

I want to be able to eat new foods, but I have a very sensitive gag reflex. I eat food very slowly because I can't take very big bites. It sucks.

I've decided I've spent enough time being pissed off at the school system. The conclusion I've reached is that they teach people -how to learn, for those who can't already -how to communicate, for the socially retarded (case in point)

The teapot on the moon + Occam's Razor

Evolution seems to be the most plausible explanation for our origins we have currently. I would point out that all the conclusions we have reached concerning evolution has been done through logical induction and affirming the hypothesis (if I remember correctly), which does not expressly prove...

Siberia, Sub-Rosa, Elysium. haha and my avatar fits within both criteria... any other ideas?

Trumpet Drums Guitar Bass Music Theory I play drums in a band and write a good deal of the guitar and bass parts; I enjoy thinking about guitar more than actually working hard to play well. I included music theory because it translates into any instrument I pick up. Gimme two hours with the...

I wasn't sure where to post this since all the forums are cryptically titled... but I can't get my avatar uploaded without an error. I couldn't find what the dimensions need to be or any other info. Halp?

The INTP is deft and capable when deconstructing ideas: however I'm afraid the title of "Dream Shatterer" belongs to the INTJ (We rip apart our own ideas past recognition).

The Brazilian banking industry.

My name is Tyler. I hail from the INTJ forum. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
