I get hypomania from intense stimulants like Vyvanse but atomoxetin, which I'm on right now, doesn't work as well even at the highest dosages. Sooooo I heavily self medicate with nicotine, it's good that it also feels amazing
Just don't smoke actual cigarettes, guys. I guess everything tobacco is bad (I'd argue for snuff though), but cigarettes really are that much worse than everything else
Why take the atomoxetin if it doesn't work and nicotine does?
Snuff fucks up your mouth. Scroll down to cancer and dental:

That's moist snuff, taken orally, not dry snuff, which is taken nasally. It's a common misunderstanding about snuff brought on by the US government's refusal to update their terminology... In 2025 snuff means only dry nasal, while most people refer to "moist snuff" as snus or chaw :)
The atomoxetin does work, it's just not as strong and as consistent as necessary. I have gotten the go ahead to use Ritalin at low doses in particularly low functioning days (along with atomoxetin), but last time I tried it made me dangerously hypomanic. So I take some espresso shots and pinches of snuff throughout the day, or maybe a Zyn, which I recognize the risks of using, but it's only occasional
Well, it won't be occasional for long. I heared from multiple people about how it started occasionally.
Yah. That stuff is so addictive.
I have to set an alarm or I forget to take it in the morning. I crave it so much I FORGET TO TAKE IT WITHOUT REMINDERS.
It's not heroin lmao
Anyway, I only get zyns as a treat from friends traveling abroad, as it's not available where I live. If I had that crazy impulse to get more and more nicotine I'd just start smoking, and that hasn't happened even though I'm doing this for years now
