Maybe this is a pity party for me, but i just dont understand. I am on Adderall, love it for the most part. But, i still dont feel i am as smart as i should be. Do any of you feel like that still? even on meds etc.? I know there is no miracle drug but i still feel not so smart, i do things, and i cant sit still to watch TV, it is boring to me now, but, i dunno. I am thinking i dont have any thing going on in my life, so by the time hubby gets home, he is exhausted, (fire fighter) all i want to do is talk , yet i have nothing to say, and of course he goes to bed and then i get so bummed becasue life seems so so boring, pre adderall, i was cool with it, but now i guess i am looking for "something", so does this mean the meds are working and its a good thing, a "normal person" thing, meaning "what the heck am i gonna do with my life" sorta thing? i am so bored with the things that i used to be content with but i dunno where to go with it what to put my head into, I do home day care, i am home all day, no friends, no family, seriously, i have no co workers to babble to, so ya'll get to hear it, anyway, any of u in the same boat? or at least have been where i am at now??

I know it is a big struggle in life trying to find a balance. I feel stupid on Adderall and 'no' it's not a smart pill. I guess that's what I was expecting. I think reading is the best way to boost your smarts from what I've heard, that's if you can sit there for hours and hours . But I think you and your hubby need to make an agreement that you get nights where you can go out and do something on your own, maybe join a club or something. You need an outlet in life, especially being around kids all day. We all work hard and need to play hard. Maybe you could get a workout machine or DVD, that's a real stimulant for mind. Good luck!
