I’ve taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it’s not a lot, but I’m very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I’ll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.
I feel like I’m still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can’t follow through things to completion. What gives?
I’ll echo what many people have said here - for me it comes down to environment. My brain still craves the novelty of “something else that’s more fun”.
When I’m on meds, I have to create an environment that is also curated. I tried using them in the office and it’s a real problem. In the context of the office there are so many additional things that it’s difficult to focus and I end up going into deeper rabbit holes than off meds.
Adderall helps me stay in a task, but doesn’t do much to help get me into the right task.
