I read somewhere recently that stimulant medication doesn't cause euphoria in people with ADD/ADHD because it works to correct their low dopamine levels and make them feel "normal". I was prescribed Vyvanse three years ago and not once has it ever made me feel normal. It makes me feel great. It's supposed to help me focus on schoolwork, but it's only ever helped me focus on creative tasks (i.e. music production). I now depend on it for motivation but that motivation is inevitably used on music, writing, drawing, instead of school. The prospect of changing/stopping medication scares me because I don't want to lose the ability to do what I love, but this medication is doing far more harm than good for my academic career.
