Edit: Seriously, nothing, and I mean nothing helps motivate you the way stimulants can. You can't do this on your own. Your brain doesn't produce the dopamine you need to be a functioning adult on its own; you need drugs to make up for it. Fact of life; nothing to be ashamed of.

I went on Vyvanse, a slow release amphetamine, and 2 weeks later had a heart attack. I'm pretty sure it was related because I'd taken dexies about 10 years before and stopped after a month due to chest pains, and also the first day I was on Vyvanse I got chest pains again, but the doctor said it was fine so I kept taking them.

Sadly my blood pressure won't allow me to take stims anymore. It SUCKS.

(Yes, I've tried other alternatives, but they don't work for me)
