My focus and drive to move forward are directly related to my meds working properly.

I use to take Ritalin when I was a kid. I’ve been on concerta since I was in I think middle school. I’ll be out of school 20 years this June. I’m on the highest dose of concerta that I’m able to be on. Some days it feels like it’s working. But some days I feel like it’s not working so well.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid, but my parents did not want me taking any meds. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I tried meds for the first time. I take adderall. I do feel the pills in terms of a marked bodily change, but just ever so slightly. However, I *do* see the difference when I attempt to do any sort of work, physical or otherwise—I hyper focus until things get done.

Man I’m the same way! I always end up over analyzing my thoughts to see if they’re working but that seems to just f my attention up soI just try to trust it’ll work. I guess I never really know until later in the day when I see how productive or attentive I’ve been able to be for that day
