I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.

Very feasible, my doctor was very clear about the fact you can take them when necessary because there are no withdrawals at prescribed dosages.

Hopefully evening is a good focus time for you though, because they do have a possible side effect of insomnia. I don't take any after maybe 6pm for that reason.
