I can't believe how different a low dose of adderall makes me feel. To you, they're amphetamines. To me, they're the perfect calming agent.
At work today, I left my desk about 1/10th as many times as normal. The dude in the coffee shop up front said "Where you been, bro?" And the receptionist asked me why I hadn't come around to chat. The reason: I was working. All day. I even thoroughly cleaned my office. Not the usual This-Cleaning-Will-Self-Destruct-in-Thirty-Minutes kind of thing, either.
Being able to focus is outrageously cool.
Love to all. Even you, Roderick.

I just got on medication for ADD and it really is amazing how things change when you are running your life and feeling like everyone else must have been feeling all along.
I thought I told you to say NO to drugs!
hey that's awesome news!
I'm glad to hear the medication is working for you.
R: on the one hand, "thanks!"
On the other: I've GOT to get over feeling' weird about this. I think I'm a little ashamed... but if Was talking to someone else doing the same thing, I'd say what Lisa said.
I'm with ITS on this one :P
You can tell something has changed: now you don't write here as often.
Dude its not a sign of weakness to take the adderall. I'll share a little secret with you... I've been on one form or another of antidepressant for 20 years. I felt like you did at first... But I learned to see my depression as a chemical imbalance that was totally NOT my fault. Would you see it as a weakness or feel guilty about taking insulin if you were diabetic or taking dilantin if you were epileptic? I doubt it.
Same premise.
You are doing a great thing for yourself... AND for your family. Take pride in that. Be greatful you live in this day and age where you CAN get that help.
You rock, dude.
Lisa: Thanks, amigo.
Sh: I skipped a day. I admit it. I'm a bad, bad, dude. :-)
ITS: You're just jealous that I get to take chemically-appropriate speed.
What Lisa said!
