I have struggled to maintain sufficient and suitable focus to practice the occult (including severe intrusive thoughts), and after 20 years of trying to find answers, I have recently been diagnosed with a case of severe ADHD. My case is sufficient to require medication in the form of a low dose of stimulants. I'm a lot better on the stimulants - not zombied out, but much more in control, but still me. It's a definite difference to say, antidepressants.
It seems that the stimulants make up for low dopamine in my brain, and whilst they aren't the answer (as above so below) to the problem, they may give me the stability to start working on the answer (as below, so above).
What would your advice be about practising the occult whilst on them? My sense is it's different to the psychoactive drug scenario - ritalin to me feels like the same effect as 3/4 cups of coffee but without the jitters or anxiety.
