So i have adhd and my family and I had figured this was true for quite some time. I always had a tough time paying attention in class especially when i was younger, but I kind of had a mildly functional system going by high school. It helped that I found school to be reletively easy anyways, so it worked out fine to turn things in the night they were due and to write a paper in a day. But being an adult means I have to be marginally more responsible, so i finally went to pursue a diagnosis and meds!
I went to a psychiatrist on the 27th of August and was perscribed meds the same day, and then it took me 20 whole days to finally get the meds filled at a pharmacy and pick it up and actually start taking them, which is very ironic. This blog post will be documenting the meds because theyre supposed to kind of build up over time and I want to keep track.
DAY 1: I took it in the afternoon because I had class in the morning. No noticable effect at first, but i am extremely sleepy and my limbs feel very heavy. I did some googling and apparently i am supposed to take it at the same time each day, but i do NOT want to take it in the afternoon all the time, so im going to take it in the morning tomarrow. hopefully nothing bad happens1
DAY 2: took it at 11:30. i wasn't sure if i was supposed To take it with food so i looked it up and Yes you Should. good to know!
In the afternoon I went to the library to do my homework and i could NOT force myself to start it. Usually I am able to get stuff done in the library, but i realized a crucial part of this intricate spell was having a coffee. The library coffee shop was closed and the vending machine was out of caffineated beverages so I went home and learned how to make an iced latte with my Hario V60 pourover instead. I put on My Life Is A Party Radio Edit by the Italobrothers which is what I listen to when I'm doing readings for school at home. Only then was I able to do my homework, which took all of 40 minutes. i did have the latte at 6 pm but that's okay. I didn't buy the latte so I can buy a crepe tomarrow with my friends :)
Overall, no noticable effect.
