Ritalin, my experience..
So, yesterday I tried Ritalin for the first time because I was overwhelmed from my mail inboxes. For 3 weeks I avoided them all like a plague.
In just 4 hours after taking it I cleaned all of them no problem at all. I even reorganized all of my 3 inboxes and it was in a sort of next level hyper-focus.
I've written down what I experienced, here's what happened:
  1. I was able to resist impulses much better, they still came but there was like a window where I could decide to act on it or not. Normally it feels more like a compulsion
  2. My handwriting improved right away
  3. Colors were a bit more intense for me
  4. I was clear headed, there wasn't any background noise going on in my head. It was silent but for one stream of clear thoughts
There were some negative effects as well:
  1. Muscles tensed up a bit faster for me, especially for my eyes and shoulders
  2. Got hungry faster & needed more bathroom trips
  3. After the meds were off I was feeling chaotic
But I got to tell ya, if I could operate from that place every day.
Life would be a walk in the park...
Because of this experience I will now get my official diagnosis, I already started the process but I ADHD'ed around it.
I also had a long conversation with a friend of mine who also has ADHD and he's on medication as well & he says the same. A different world.
So I'm going on a new adventure to go into the care system and see what happens! I'll be sharing my progress with you guys.
P.S. Anyone know that movie Limitless? That's what it felt like.
