>>12888241>BeforeCouldn't sit in class, would get up and start walking around, couldn't focus on teachers at all, spent most days in the office.
I could read and play vidya for long periods of time where I'd get hyper-focused on them but I'd get so focused that I'd piss myself and not notice.
But I was happy.
>AfterI could sit still and focus and I wouldn't piss myself, and could easily do all of my schoolwork and didn't cause problems in class. But I felt completely drained and horribly depressed and wanted to kill myself most days.
>After afterI grew out of it but still have some lingering symptoms. I don't take the pills anymore, don't have to get up and walk around, can pay attention, and don't piss myself while being hyper-focused like I did when I was a kid. But I also open like 10 books at a time to read and open one to study, then sit there staring at the first page while my mind wanders off in a different direction and end up not actually reading it for hours at a time.
When I actually do get down to reading I can usually read like 100 pages of fiction in something like 20 minutes, or 30 pages of graduate-level nonfiction in 20 minutes with pretty good retention.
If you ask me, don't take them.
