I would unironically say this is the how of how adderall works for me.

I am distracted from work by anxiety. With medication, I'm not distracted.

Indeed, I was surprised both at the fact that it literally makes me feel better because the drug makes you feel good but also that it calmed my brain down and let me access some inner peace. But also the focus modification is big and I learned so many good habits that now I need much less of it to get stuff done. I wake up and start doing my chores before I even have my first dose!

I mean, there is a reason why it's a controlled substance and is heavily abused all across the world. It works and it works well.

Though, I've been on it for about a decade now, and I have lost a large majority of the benefits it once provided.

Generic Adderall Gang here, and in hindsight, I'm surprised at how little of it I need to realize a much better headspace. Makes me wonder if all of that caffeine in my undiagnosed youth was saying something...

I'm worried about my caffeine intake. ADHD diagnosed but never medicated.

I've been a heavy coffee drinker since i was a teenager.

I'm sitting at 13 double espressos today which is about average.

Lately the instant sleepiness post coffee isn't worth the focus, and I'm starting the think medication would be a healthier choice

I'd be interested in your thoughts more here.

The problem with amphetamine is you pay for every benefit: focus now, lethargy later; energy now, anhedonia later.

But taking a small, consistent dose. Does that work? Do you feel you net benefits in life from taking the drug, discounting for withdrawal and/or tolerance?
