I felt this way too when I first started meds, but as time has gone by, I realize I am still the same person, just more focus, organized etc etc etc. I was a chatterbox before and I am still a chatterbox now, I was always on the go before and I am still on the go now (but just able to control the crazy impulsiveness), I had big dreams and goals then, and I still do now, but it is all just more controlled which is a relief to me.
I just think the meds have brought out the best in me and allowed me to be a better version of myself!
YOu are still the same person....You just don't broadcast yourself in neon lights anymore.... I felt the same way...I have been taking adderall for about 5 weeks..It is a strange sensaton good but strange..sometimes I feel like I am totally different. and it makes me self-consious..But I think that calm, rational person was always there...just disquised and hidden by the three ring circus going on in my head. ..I actually think I am more in touch with my feelings now....Before I couldn't always sort them out... .Do you take your meds everyday? I skip a few days here and there...That way I can appreciate the new and old me..I started Adderall about 4 months ago, and now I feel diferent. Everyone, thinks I am a much better person on it. I am more organized, calm, responsible, punctual, and seemingly happy. But, for some reason I feel like I am losing my identity. I am not really sad, I guess just confused. I notice that I am having a hard time relating to my old friends and have started to get along with all those people that seemed " stucked up" and I felt ackward around before. What about when the medicice is not here anymore though? I don't know. I just feel like I am loosing a conection to and understanding for the people who are sincere and really liked me for who I am. Does anyone have any imput for me.
