I agree. As someone who has been taking 20mg of Adderall since I was 16 (I’m 20 years old now), I feel like I don’t really need it. It was great in the beginning and really helped, but I don’t see how it’s been making a difference in my life anymore. I’ve gone up and down in dosages and tried different medications, but the reality is, I just don’t want to take it because I feel like it isn’t me. I feel like I will do damage to myself down the line if I keep taking it. It doesn’t help me socially; I only feel more anxious, no matter the dosage.
I can still focus just as okay without it, not as great as when I’m on my meds, but I can work with it. Here’s some things that have helped me:
1.) Start reading books. Seriously, it helps with concentrating a lot, at first it may suck, but keep doing it and eventually you’ll just start doing it out of habit.
2.) Get rid of any distractions. (I’m in the process of eliminating the need of my cell phone and switching purely to a laptop)
3.) Excersise your brain. (e.g. Play chess)
4.) Keep you and your room clean.
5.) Invest some time into living minimally. (e.g. Too many outfits/laundry? Donate them until you only have what you need.)
6.) Eat healthy, goto the gym, make friends, feel good about yourself.
One of the biggest downsides has to be that it affects my sex life negatively. It makes me last WAY too long in bed, so I end up just getting blue balled sometimes. Sorry TMI, but it’s the truth! P.S. for any men considering, it makes your pecker look small.
Hell yeah! Damn gonna have to get more into novels now and try that.
Sonce my mid 20s I’ve played a lot less COD and a lot more strategy and puzzle type games when I game
I lose my fucking mind if my apartment is a mess. Some days I can’t do anything until I clean up my kitchen counter and get all the dishes in the dishwasher. I’m in trades and getting dirty and sticky and sweaty doesn’t even make me bat an eye anymore.
Number 6 is very most important. A lot of the time our depression, lack of focus, mind fog, etc is all just due to shitty diet. Sometimes I get to the point where I need a hard reset so I eat a big ass salad with lots of vegetables and chicken for dinner, and then I feel brand new again and ready to tackle anything.
Lastly, lasting too long in bed is definitely part of what I experienced on Straterra. >!Couple days after I quit, I had the most intense, mind blowing orgasm ever. It was like my first time all over again!!<
