"medication was a joke. i&#039;ve had issues with add and my doctors have refrained from prescribing me controlled substances, however guanfacine (for the treatment of adhd) felt insulting. a high blood pressure medication certainly isn&#039;t suitable for the treatment of what has been a debilitating medical condition for my entire life. luckily, i&#039;m back on vyvanse and able to live a healthy, productive life without the influence of illicit drugs and alcohol. dual disorders require treatment of all the underlying conditions, you can&#039;t spare one and hope it goes away while you treat the other."
