Every screening and official diagnostic I’ve taken has me scoring max ADHD points and every time someone describes a symptom I’m left confused that other people don’t have them.
Will my personality change? I feel like being a disorganized disheveled loud interrupter is most of my personality at this point idk.
I’ve never done any stimulants beyond drinking a million coffees per day so i have some anxiety about this
Medication changed my life for the better. It gives me the ability to stay on top of my responsibilities.
It also changes my demeanor. I personally prefer not to take it on my days off work, so that I can let it all hang out and relax fully. I like to be more “myself” on my days off. Some other people (like my partner) prefer to take medication every day.
Prescription-dosage amphetamines are so much nicer than caffeine, there’s no comparison for me. Adderall fixed my sleep schedule. Caffeine makes me anxious and jittery; ADHD medication has none of those side effects for me.
Caffiene makes me sleepy usually once I’ve hit half way through my day. It would be cool to be able to stay on top of stuff
