Ritalin kicked in and i have dreams for myself again
being on adhd meds really has you rattling off like nobody’s business oh my godddddd shut up about cabinet making already miss chatterbox
i like ritalin but when im not on it i can really see how scattered my thoughts are, how i need to really TELL MYSELF ALOUD the steps of even the simplest tasks,,,,
genuinely surprises me that some people are addicted to Ritalin especially ppl who actually don’t have ADHD taking them. Like I always forget to take them 😭
been taking adhd meds for a bit now (ritalin) and for the first couple weeks it was like… so good. I mean I got killer headaches from it but my energy levels were crazy and I could focus on one task for like an entire day while on it, or be able to start chores immediately when told to or realising I need to, instead of procrastinating and trying to gather dopamine for ages beforehand
Then, over time the effects started weakening?? These days I don’t feel the headahces anymore, which is nice, but I don’t feel that burning pressure and stress from within to vroom vroom vroom hyperfocus get stuff done without distractions
I mean, I am still able to get stuff done sometimes I guess?? But I don’t feel this instant huge (sometimes painful) shift inside of me anymore.
I’m scared… does this mean they’re not working anymore?? :( Is it because i drank coffee for a bit while I was taking them earlier and the coffee made me resistant?? Halp,,, I wanna be able to be productive and help my loved ones with shit and write and function the executives properly
My brain is like an office building and it’s me and my millions of coworkers who are all talking at once loudly and there’s music playing and a loud TV somewhere too and everyone has one super specific job but they’re all doing it at once even if they shouldn’t be and it’s so loud and overwhelming and then i take ritalin and it comes in as the new boss and makes all my coworkers go home and now it’s just me trying to do the job of a million other people and it almost feels harder and worse but at least it’s quiet now <3
one day i want to do a course in neurobiology (maybe possible as an elective with my psych degree). it’s so interesting how oxycodone works for my back/joints but doesn’t do shit for my headache, and how ibuprofen is the other way around. i know they’re different mechanisms of killing pain, but i wanna know all the little details. also adhd, ritalin changed so much for me. i just wanna know how it all works on a neuro level.
if ur monkees bias is mike that has GOT to correlate with some sort of diagnosis #ONGOD
blinking back into consciousness 6 hours after I take my ritalin with a blank doc and a bloody scalp
(trying ritalin for the first time) is this how neurotypicals normally feel? I’ve been scammed
