Do you feel more distant and do you display less emotion than you would like to?
In my case, displaying less emotion makes for a better person since before treatment I could be emotionally all over the place. So is it a better trait for you, or an undesirabled trait? So yes, I am also dealing with this, but I think those around me would say that I am more pleasant to be around.
The one thought that comes to mind is that you might be trying to come to terms with the changes you're experiencing which could result in being more introspective. Other might interpret this as being "distant."
I've been on Adderall for about 5 months and I'm still learning to cope and feel that I will be in this "mode" for the rest of the year. But I'm fine with that because this is my way of dealing with what I'm experiencing.
Good for you!
I know that feeling of realizing the little changes, especially an improvement in hand-writing. What I really like about the meds is that I feel like I have regained some control over my life since I am able to make better decisions versus always acting on impulse.
today i went to work with a better mind set, i took my meds and i felt alot more productive.i felt more at ease and not so much in a hurry. i also have messy handwriting, which is know as dyspraxia, and today i wrote with more control than i ever have i could focus on each individual letter i was writing and that's never happened before. i did everything slower, like eating. i would normally just shovel food in my mouth but today, i ate with self control. so i guess this adderall really is working, woo hoo!!!Absolutely not. Adderall doesn't change who you are or dull your senses. For me the opposite is true because I have so much better focus that I tend to think before I speak or act, whereas before, I would blurt out whatever came to my mind.
