    If it ever turns out I actually have ADHD and I’m not just gaslighting myself, then actually get prescribed Adderall, I’m going to try that because I forget what it’s like to wake up rested.

      unfortunately based on a lot of testimony I’ve heard from people who really do have ADHD it doesn’t work like that for people that actually have it.

        Yeah if your dosage is correct it doesn’t have much of a stimulate effect. Now forget you took the pill earlier and have another, you’ll mildly feel something but even then it’s not much.

        Yeah. Getting high is fun and all but it’s not a good way to work. If the dosing strategiy is correct you don’t feel the drug but still obtain the cognitive enhancement i.e. executive function.

        Damn, was really putting my eggs in that basket. Caffeine has no effect on me, sleeping more doesn’t do much, was hoping the magical focus drug would. Still might give it a shot legally under the advisement of a doctor but I appreciate you bracing me!
