I felt so much relief from one dose of adderall. My current psychosis and ocd thoughts disappeared for 5 hours. My thoughts cleared up.
I still have sza as antipsychotics work wonders for me

Antipsychotics still help me on worst days, but I never knew I can feel so normal as on this med.. 
First time in 10 years while I have this normal human motivation to do something..
Now I know why for so many years I was looking for answers. @Moon

Same!!
Looking back ive had adhd since i was 12 or so. But i had ocd and ptsd before then. Ptsd is my root issue but treating adhd helps a ton. It amazed me and angered me that i went undiagosed

I’m just really, really afraid of becoming dependent on the medication… after all, it’s still a stimulant. @Moon

You might especially if you take it a while. As long as you stay at your medicinal level youll be ok, its not much dofferent than becoming dependent on antipsychotics if you take it for extended periods.

This is really good news.
For me Ritalin worked like magic, I could focus, and I felt calm, etc. Then, from Abilify I ended up on Clozapine as the ADD medication triggered a severe psychotic episode.
I still find it very difficult to focus on reading, or applying myself when required. Like, sometimes, I can, that is when I enter the “zone” (Hyperfocus), other times I simply can’t get started. I wish I had the luxury of ADD medications. I am happy it is working out for you.

I already have a mini plan; by the way, with my doctor’s permission, to take it 2 or even 3 times a day—either all at once or, for example, every 4–5 hours. She asked me to pay attention to which dose brings the strongest effect… So today I already took two 18 mg pills, and the second one had a milder effect…
But I definitely got more done today than usual, I felt more motivated and emotionally calmer. So far, I truly don’t feel any anger or sadness. @angledangle
It’s strange to find a solution. It’s unusual to feel THIS light.
Thank you all for your heartfelt wishes and care.
