Are we just ignoring the glaring issue of missing the chance that the person has actually already taken their meds and will overdose in the second instance?

Are you being serious right now? because if so, what's wrong with you, mate?

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

I'm being appropriately serious given the context. How serious are you being?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Not at all.

That's slightly less serious than me then. What's up with your reaction?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Well I wasn't sure if you were serious due to lack of body language. :)

That wouldn't help, I'm a firm believer in performing fabricated outrage for comical effect.

Careful, you're messing with AuDHDers!

I am not a medical professional and I obviously don't know the dosage of people in this thread. But I'll still say no one will overdose (as in harm themself or die) by accidentally taking 2x what their body is used to.

Double dosing on ADHD meds might not kill you but it can cause anxiety attacks or even seizures. If it’s an extended release formula then you could be in for a very bad day!

Yeah, I accidentally took my sister's ADHD mddicine instead of my own once and felt so sick later that I went home during a lesson. And my sister doesn't even get a that much higher dosis than me.
