    I would, but I can’t. I am medicated for my ADHD and depression. Both disqualify me in that regard

        You cannot throw that as a blanket statement. Rules vary by country and medication. Judging by their profile the person you are responding to lives in Denmark, which actually seems to have fairly strict rules in this regard. Some of the ADHD medications I’ve been on in the past would have actually have disqualified me as a full blood donor there, had I still used them. Although the rules for plasma donation are less strict, so that might still be an option.

        It might depend on the specific medicines, but anti-depressant are an automatic disqualification here
