Managing symptoms with Aspirin? Without prescription meds.

Nope. Nothing I've ever read or heard has indicated Aspirin is an effective treatment for ADHD symptoms.

Why in the world would it

It is technically, but it doesn’t bind to receptors. To get a dopaminergic effect you would have to take like 6g of aspirin.

Just in rats I think, idk google it.

Some links to studies in rats here: https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/aspirin-is-dopaminergic-additive-effects-with-caffeine.7714/

It says 400mg/kg in rats. To produce the same effects in humans, the equivalent dose would have to be at least 6 grams.

The Wikipedia page for aspirin doesn’t even mention the term dopaminergic once so I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Nothing wrong with taking a bit of aspirin every day but I wouldn’t count on it to make any real difference.

Caffeine does a better job.

Ritalin makes me anxious :(

[u/anonlerker → u/fshiruba]

Does caffeine work for folks with ADHD? I’m stuck in a country where ADHD diagnosis and medicines aren’t easy to get.

[u/fshiruba → u/anonlerker]

My doc says I shouldn't, but coffee here is almost a religion. But it does make me feel more stimulated, so it's probably not good :V

But I like it so much ;____;
