I just got prescribed Adderall! - eviltoast

My psych is letting me try ADHD meds without getting neuropsych testing after all, which is great because that shit’s expensive. Wish me luck getting it filled with the shortage and everything. I really hope it helps! I’m tired of being overwhelmed all the time and unable to focus on what I want to focus on.

Update: Day one on Adderall 10mg - It’s a little too early to tell, but it might feel a little bit easier to focus on stuff. I don’t feel “wired” or anything, and I’m still getting hungry as usual. My heart might be beating a little faster, which I was told to expect.

    I would say it (significantly) helps, indirectly, with motivation because you know that with the medication the task itself will be vastly less exhausting to complete.

      Yep! I’ve been taking ADHD meds for a month (?) now and I get that.

      I feel like it gives me just enough willpower to get things started, after that I just feel like I forget why I didn’t even want to do whatever task I’m doing and just go with it.
