Holy shit, I do this too. Is there a resource(besides adderall) that can help me deal with this and understand this better?
I "vouched" for your comment as it was showing up dead for some reason...
I can second sosuke, addforums.com was a great resource. I haven't been there for a long time though.

It probably showed up dead because of automated anti-spam tools that pick up on spammy keywords. Naming a scheduled medication by name is probably more than enough to trigger something like that.
I don't think that's quite it. All of the comments in their user profile are marked dead back a few hundred days.
I read them over, nothing looked overtly spammy or troll-ey, so I vouched for this comment as it seemed genuine.
I do think it's an anti-spam or anti-troll measure, but it looks like it's a mishit in this case.
That being said, is there anyone where we read up on what vouching/dead/etc... means on HN? Maybe one of the mods or someone can help explain some of it (or let me know that they won't explain it for anti-spam purposes...).
You probably saw this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10298512
That doesn't explain exactly how vouching works, and I think the "strength" of a vouch might be changed per-user (it no longer seems to do the same thing it used to, for me, at least).
