Don’t people acclimatise to them? Biggest reason I don’t take Vyanse is because I’m worried it’ll stop working (like modafinil did) but leave me addicted to it

Modafinil is not known to develop tolerance. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01650...)

Vyvanse does, but it's not a problem, just take a magnesium supplement if it happens.

First I've heard of nattokinase and it doesn't have relevant evidence on examine.com.

Natto is a good source of vitamin K though, if you want stronger bones.

Would you share the reasoning for each of these? Never heard of taking anything to help ward off Terrance of ADHD med

Sure, you're going to feel like crap for a week or so if you stop Vyvanse after taking it for a while (I know I did). But since a therapeutical dose is nowhere near a recreational one, the risk of developing a craving for it (which is really what addiction is all about) is low.

Heck, I've had more problems weaning myself off of diclofenac.

Long part of my life on Adderall and decent amount on Vyvanse at one point and never noticed any actual addictive cravings, like you mention.

Sure, when I stop I feel kinda crappy... But... I'm not on a stimulant that I had been on. I'm just not as 'up'. Not as focused. Etc. Never any actual withdrawals or cravings for either though. Gets very tiring how many people that probably never have regularly used either like to pull out their megaphones and yell about how they are addictive.

Why don't we worry about ultra processed foods, high sugar intake... Things like that that are actually a problem for a LOT of people? People focus on the oddest things.
