I just spent 2-3 hours writing an e-mail, re-writing it, editing it, and perfecting it.. it was like I couldn't stop focusing it was almost scary. This is absolute insane. I'm going to try just 50mg tomorrow. I'm so excited that I can sit here for 9 hours focusing on whatever needs my attention.
Even boring shit is fun! I'm a software engineer and deal with a lot of security stuff. I finished what I needed for the day then I went on Craigslist, found abunch of businesses advertising their website, did a full security audit, then e-mailed them how to fix everything. Seriously.. why did I do that? Working isn't fun.. working for free is less fun.. but I'm in some kind of trance to just get shit done.
I feel like I'm smarter too. I spent 30 minutes looking at some programming stuff that I've procrastinated learning for 6 months and now I feel like I'm a pro at it. I even wrote some tests just to prove to myself that I really did know it now.
Sounds impressive, is there a reason you couldn't get it prescribed?
Could you describe what your current ADHD issues are? Have you developed a tolerance to the Adderall?
I was on Adderall for 10-12 years but ended up moving a lot and dealing with a lot of family issues, when I finally tried to get it again I was having problems finding my old paperwork, my old doctor retired, etc. and I didn't have the time to go through the entire process all over again with a new doctor.
There's no central database of records and on top of that my old doctor did everything the old fashion way so my file was never even in a computer. I tried to get the paper records but then I ran into the problem that they sent it off to a different location after 3 years or something like that. It was such a hassle.
My main issues with ADHD hmm... I have trouble focusing on one thing, I'm easily distracted, fidgety/squirmy, disorganized, extremely impatient, and when I was younger I had a lot of impulse problems. I feel like today I was opposite though.. very organized, not distracted, not squirmy AT ALL, very patient.
EDIT: Seriously, look at this massive post... this is rediculous!!! I can't believe I put so much thought and detail into this post. I'm like a new person.
