i am going to go up to 20 mgs today and hope that that helps with something. i have also noticed others saying the same thing. i can run around all day with a happy mood and more energy but still i feel that i am not hitting the mark for achievement of much of anything. also i noticed that i also stay at home more now too. i cannot imagine why or how a med could have that effect on a person, that is just too weird!
maybe the higher dose will help that now? has it really helped anyone?? if so please tell me how so i wont quit this and give up!
thanks for the help!
I haven't taken the xr, just the short release, but I felt that the happy mood and more energy made it much easier to discipline myself and get things done. You still have to make the decision to fulfill your responsibilities and 'hit the mark', as you say.I have found that I am still distracted quite a bit with adderall. But I am distracted with intensity. Rather then just staring off into space, I will write emails like crazy or talk philosophy. If I am hiking I will write emails in my head.
My big problem has always been getting myself to write formal academic papers. Although I may still be distracted, once I finally get cracking on a paper I get more done in one hour than I would have in three without the medication.
