Do I need to get used to meds before deciding if they're a problem?
Post Body

I know some meds will affect you much more when you're first taking them, and some of the side effects will calm down. About a month ago I started taking 5mg Adderall twice a day, then 10mg about two weeks ago

I feel a little more on task, but mostly just a bit more interested in getting my work done and less procrastination. On the other hand, I struggle to find words when I'm talking to someone, I feel foggy, and I'm physically moving slower, yet I'm also clumsier. I feel mentally slower as well.

Overall, I don't feel as competent and sharp, which is kind of the opposite of what I was trying to find.

Will some of this fade after 2-3 months as my body acclimates to the Adderall? Or should I be looking as something else?
