I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go!

However.. turns out that Japan has a law that absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don't really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

I'm really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this.

I hate ADHD. I really do.

It does not say that in the OP. They said "I don't really want to... risk going on a new medication for the trip" which is not the same as "please don't give me advice on alternative medication" and was also preceded by a false claim that no other stimulants would be allowed.

EDIT: Defending one's point while trying to be polite is "being aggressive".

As I stated in my previous comment, it was not clear. You told me I was wrong, you continue to reply to me with false information, and you wonder why I respond defending myself. OP does not seem to have hard feelings about this, so I don't understand why you seem to.

Why are you being aggressive? They didn't state which medication they are actually taking so it could be one on the list mentioned.
