Adderall ~ Tommy Knockers? | ADHD Information

Share

Anybody ever read the Stephen King novel Tommy Knockers?  Does taking Adderall ever make you feel like the characters in the story who just start having ideas and start building stuff (at least in the beginning of the book before they get really crazy).   This is the best analogy I can come up with related to my experience on Adderall (xr 20mg) It seems like when I take the pill in the morning it kicks in on my commute to work (about 45 minutes) during that time I can clearly organize all the thoughts in my head plan out the day and figure out what I'm going to do its helped great in that sense but its the damndest thing that  I also get all kinds of ideas on how to build things or how to alter something in my environment so I'll be more efficient or have some sort of luxury I wouldn't generally have.  It's not completely out of character for me I've always been a tinkered but never really got through a lot of projects.  The meds start wearing off about noon concentration drops off sharply by 2:30 and by that time the desire to build stuff has generally gone away.  I get most of my work done in the morning.  By dinner time I can barely put a few thoughts together to make a sentence.  Anybody else have similar experiences or have I just been visited by the Tommy Knocker man ?
