I've been seeing a lot of threads about Adderall on here lately so I thought I'd post about how the past ~2 months have been for me starting it.
>Be me
>4 months ago: am no longer able to hold it all together, can't focus for shit, gonna fail all muh college stem classes
>call my dad, tells me, my grandfather, him, and my half-sister all have ADHD
>thanks for fucking telling me now bud
>3 months ago: get a very strong diagnosis, doc explains to me all how Adderall works, opening up paths and dopamine receptors, balancing out your deficiency
>2 months ago: finally get medicated, I got that Adderall flowing now
>the initial euphoria was cool but nothing compares to the parting of extreme mental fog and feeling like you're actually able to accomplish tasks
>1 month ago: my body has gotten used to the addy by now. it still works well, but I have to maintain more effort to keep myself working
>on gap days I don't take it for a tolerance break I do absolutely nothing, they feel useless and fragmented, I can't even decide what to do w/ myself
>3 weeks ago: comedowns have been getting worse. Once 6pm just about hits I start getting anxious, and some nights paranoid
>during this time, if I'm in the communal kitchen or bathroom on my building floor, if I hear people walking in the hallway I get the urge to run/hide, and sometimes I do
>2 weeks ago: out of curiosity start watching this lecture by a Stanfurd professor on schizophrenia. he's a great lecturer and it's a fascinating subject, but I only watch about half of it
