Medication

Post by Frankie »

Hi my name is Frankie and I was diagnosed with dyspraxia as a child, my mother always told me it was cured tho. Anyway, I am now 24 and have realised that it’s probably still something I struggle with, I don’t let it define me tho! POW pow pow… anyway I was wondering if there is any medication I would be able to take and be prescribed without having to jump thru hoops that would help me with concentration that I wouldn’t have to see therapist after therapist about, I reside in australia if that helps answer the question. Thank you!

Hi Frankie

Regrettably there are far too many criminals and fraudsters advertising medicinal products and excercise to 'cure' neurodivergent conditions including Dyspraxia.

Most of these products are simply a waste of money,. However, some are harmful, and/or restricted (prescription only) and illegal importation or posession could potentially result in a criminal record.

If you have ADHD too, stimulant medication can help. You'd need a prescription to obtain either legally
