Third Day on ADHD Medication

It just so happens that life isn’t easy right now… But this medication at least gives me some physical calm. Honestly, it also brings a certain confidence in myself – I dare more to say things as they are, but at the same time, I think more carefully about how to phrase my words so that I don’t act impulsively again and end up regretting it later.

Last night, I was finally able to get some proper sleep. I’ve been taking a moderate lower dose these days, 36 mg. Maybe someday I’ll try 54 mg.

That euphoria from the first day is gone, but the focus I have now is surprising. I am truly present in the moment, with more motivation… And that is something I find truly beautiful.

Hey, thanks. @Rainstorm

Well, it’s the fourth morning today! I’ve been reading a lot about this medication… I’m loading a lot of information into my head, but it seems like it will really help me a lot.

An interesting fact is that it would actually have the opposite effect on someone without ADHD.

A plus is that my sleep has stabilized – it’s no longer super short like on the first night, but not too long either.

Feeling calm in my body is a really rare thing for me. I hope this feeling will stay.

To be honest, on the first day I felt scared – I felt so good that it seemed like I would end up taking a lot of pills. That same day, after taking the second one, I decided to stick with just that dose. :slight_smile: so it’s ok.

I’ve been more stable than usual for several days now. I’ve made up my mind about the breakup. And I’ve found a renewed desire to study again.

The medication is working well.
