So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,

(Edit: I just realized I posted this on ADHD memes. Can’t stop being a clown)

After an odyssey I’ve been finally diagnosed at 18 of age with “a textbook example of ADHD” (-my psychiatrist) and high QI. Lmao I wish.

They gave me 30gm of lisdexanfetamin (Elvanse) and I just took a pill a few hours ago after getting up.

The thing is that I’m not feeling a single thing different in any way and I don’t even what should I be expecting. I might be scared of having expend more money and time because of the dosage not being right…

How were your first moments/days/weeks with medication? (I you don’t mind sharing).

I don’t want to fail uni. :c

    ADHD is different for everyone so results will vary from person to person.

    For me, it was a couple days before I had enough of a “base”

    I didn’t know how much of an effect it was having on me until I stopped for a couple weeks. It was more my wife that noticed…

    I have noticed that my hyper fixation on ruminating has disappeared almost entirely and my sleep is better.

    I’m not better at staying on task necessarily, but I’m better at getting back on task, starting tasks, prioritizing tasks, etc.

      Oh yeah the sleep, not spending HOURS ruminating before falling asleep every damn night
