Failing on the ‘Focus Drug’: Why University Got Easier Off Ritalin & Vyvanse — An International Community Member’s Addy Free Story
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
On this month's episode, we’re welcoming community member Abby — our first college student and our first international member, tuning in all the way from New Zealand. Proof that this struggle is universal.
In this episode, Abby shares how the very pills prescribed to help her focus at University actually led her to fail — academically, emotionally, and personally. And how breaking free from a drug she thought she needed has helped her cope with her ADHD both in school and in life better than medication ever did.
In our meetings, people describe Abby as someone who "glows". She’s living proof that getting off stimulants doesn’t have to be all darkness… sometimes it becomes empowering, grounding, and deeply rewarding.
