Gave up on my old doc who gave me 4 different non-stims and now I have a specialist who almost immediately said, "Stimulants are a first-line treatment for adults with ADHD" and I could've cried lmao

Before, my thoughts were like 80s stock market guys all yelling at me to get my attention but now it's like they walked into the deli and took a ticket. Or better yet, they checked in online lmao

I almost feel like I could take a nap if I wanted, just because my brain is at peace. People just be feeling like this??

I know there's like a honeymoon period, but I'm just chilling for real. I don't work today, but I already knocked out some chores and made an appointment I've been putting off.

I'm mostly just geeking out, but if y'all got tips or things to know, then leave a comment 🤠

    You may possibly not be able to do this for hours following your dosage.

      I don't have Adderall but I love stimulants and usually I take a nap right after my dosage. I wake up rested and with a clear head.

        When I had an extended release dextroamphetamine salt prescription, no matter how hard I tried, I could not manage to nap any less than 10 hours after taking it, even if I was sleep deprived.

          That's weird. I have taken the street variety before a nap and it does not affect me. Perhaps it makes dreams easier to remember but I'm not sure.

          It's not that it makes me sleepy it induces a sort of wakefulness so that is I'm tired I can chose not to sleep. But it does not impair my ability to sleep.

          The only thing that I remember having that effect is when I first tried LSD. They told me to dissolve the microdot in cold water and that it would be enough for several people. But after drinking a third of it, I got impatient so I drank all of it. At first I was having a blast. But after a few hours I wanted to sleep but couldn't. And I got an awfully migraine.
