Adderall

Not much of a post as it is just listing what I am going through currently in my very first dose (half of 10mg in AM, other half in afternoon.)

  • Major saturation of colors. Everything became bright and so much more colorful within 30 minutes of first pill. That was surprising.
  • I had horrible sleep last night and woke up stupid early this morning. I was exhausted by 10 am and ready for my 2 pm nap my body screams at me for, by 1130. However within 30 minutes of taking the adderall, my sleepiness went away.
  • Had trouble talking to Peter, felt slurry at first and he said I sounded a bit slurry, but now, an hour later, not bad at all.
  • I feel very quiet.
  • I had the patience to get through one of Jude’s really difficult times with school work. I rarely can do that. I was actually able to stop my own work and help walk him through his issues. (I was in the middle of studying myself.) This happened several times.
    I did not have the motivation to do my schoolwork and just really wanted to finish a book I’m on, but it really wasn’t hard to convince myself to start, though, more out of curiosity of how hard doing schoolwork would be, since it is normally almost impossible.
    I have been able to focus a lot more and I haven’t jumped to a million things I need or want to do why studying (minus the gazillion kid’s needs). When I was interrupted, it was really easy to get back where I was.
    Still having comprehension issues, but better than before.
    My libido has jumped through the roof in the last 3 hours 😄
    I am not even remotely hungry, and haven’t had lunch. BUT before it kicked in I ate half a box of Nutty Buddies, so that may have a lot to do with it 🤣
    I feel really really mellow.
    I like it.

Edit, to add – 30 minutes after I took my second dose, I crashed hard into a 1.5 hour nap. At 4. I hate late day naps. Anyhow, I really had no sleep last night, so it was a given.
