    this is the main reason i feel like i'm jonesing for adderall, even though this lannett shit hasn't been giving me any euphoric feeling. I'm off work for the next month and I wanna play videogames but I get like an hour into anything and i just don't feel like i have the energy to pay attention, I wanna lay down and nap

      Have you ever taken adderall/adhd meds and had them make a difference? I tried focalin once and it either didn't work or made me feel gacked out, it was...not good. But I'm literally tired all the time or will wake up super motivated to do a bunch of things....then just nap or scroll lol

        If you try adderall it will be very different, focalin is dexmethylphenidate which means it's the right handed isomer of ritalin. In my experience, which admittedly was brief, ritalin was more similar to modafinil in terms of just being awake. Adderall usually also gives a bit of euphoria and just sense of enjoyment in whatever you're doing (but that's been variable for me lately since the shit made by Lannett hasn't really been doing that). But either way i think with treating adhd it's kinda similar to psychedelics in how set and setting affect what happens. If you take it and set yourself up to focus on something productive, it'll help, but if you just take it and see where it goes idk you'll spend 6 hours arguing on the internet about some stupid shit and/or jerking off

          Hmmmm the planning part can be really hard for me. On Focalin, instead of doing my required work I just organized/decorated the entire office lol. I have done adderal recreational twice before and I think the first time I never felt so focused in my life lol maybe I should try to advocate for that

    I’ve been feeling really fatigued lately myself. It’s been hard to get the stuff I need done. I finally ordered more collagen pills and vitamins, I’m hoping that can help get my energy level up and pain levels down enough that I don’t feel like crap when my wife gets here next month so we can do all the exciting stuff I planned without me being a drag.

    If you have sunshine, try to just relax in the sun for a bit. I know not everyone agrees, but the sun is like a battery recharge for me. If I take a nap in the sun I wake up feeling so much better usually.

    Anyway, we’re struggling together, so I hope to bring a feeling of connection to you, you are not alone. Life is exhausting, especially these days. Cheers, comrade!

    If you can, walk to a park, lie down, have a nap, let bugs crawl over you. You'll feel better.
