I take Adderall (generic) for ADHD and it just makes my brain not feel “numb” and also helps me not feel quite as exhausted as I had been for decades before I got medication.
It helps regulate my mood, executive function, etc.
Right now it’s not working quite as well as normal since the last week or so has had a lot of stresses on top of the political anxiety of being a queer woman, but having been in this state before medication I would be useless if I didn’t have it.
Same thing happened after the election for a week or so and I had to ration during that time and I got a stark reminder how poorly depression and ADHD go together.
I still haven’t gotten back on Adderall. I need to get an EKG before I can get back on it, but I don’t have a primary physician to perform it for me. Which means I have to make another few dozen phone calls to get a PP, then schedule the EKG, then wait for my next psych appointment, then hope that Adderall will even be available when the prescription finally get into my hands.
Also, hello fellow queer woman! At least we’re not alone.
