If you don't mind me asking, which medication?
I did a course of adderall and it was effective for ADHD. But it also had me feeling like I had electricity for blood, and was the very figure of focus all shift. Then I lose all energy and the will to do anything for myself after clocking out. So effective, but only in a way that destroys my work-life balance.
So, yeah. An effective alternative would be nice.
Vyvanse. It felt like I was on molly for a week, then it became so subtle I didn't even notice when it took effect or wore off. It allowed me to learn how to be motivated, so now even if I forget a dose, I still get shit done.
I feel this too. I've started and stopped vyvanse quite a few times now, but overall it enhances my mood which in turn makes me actually stay motivated and do things I like doing.
