ADHD - challenges in everyday life
People with ADHD often face problems related to:
- Concentration and attention,
- Impulsiveness,
- Excessive mental or physical activity,
- Difficulties in organization and time management.
Drugs such as Adderall work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, which helps regulate these symptoms. However, Adderall is not available in Poland, which limits its use by people with ADHD in our country. Does microdosing LSD Can offer similar benefits?

- Help in managing ADHD: Microdosing and Adderall can alleviate some symptoms of ADHD, such as impulsivity or difficulty focusing.
Differences:

- Legality and availability: Adderall is legal and available by prescription in many countries, but it cannot normally be purchased or used in Poland. LSD, on the other hand, remains illegal in most countries, further complicating its use.

LSD microdosing, while promising, is not an officially approved treatment for ADHD. However, user testimonials suggest that it can be an interesting adjunct or alternative to conventional drugs, especially for those who tolerate stimulants poorly. It is worth noting, however, that there is a lack of extensive scientific research on the long-term safety of this practice.

Adderall, which contains a mixture of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts, is mainly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. In Poland, Adderall is not available for regular sale. However, it can be imported as a target import on the express recommendation of a doctor when the drug saves a patient's health or life.
Other preparations such as Medikinet or Concerta, which contain methylphenidate, and Elvanse with lisdexamphetamine are used to treat ADHD in Poland.
