Nope, time to play Animal Crossing obsessively until my medication wears off.
^send^ ^help^
That used to happen to me. Med switch addressed that.
Eh... Part of it is that I'm kinda being in a rut right now. I've found that if I manage to catch myself before I fall into my daily "rut" then it works pretty well, but if I don't, then I'll be completely useless. Something about games like Animal Crossing and The Sims makes them hyper addictive when I'm on my medication yet borderline unplayable for me when I'm not.
How so? What was the change and how did it affect you?
Tried methylphenidate and it was like redlining an engine while in neutral. Switching to the Adderall family gave me useful energy I could direct. Stimulants are no longer worth the side effects for me, but they worked for several years.
