So I just got started on stimulants (aderall ir 10mg) yesterday by my psych to try to treat my adhd cause lamotrigine didnt solve those issues. What it did do tho was lift me out of my depression. Im still depressed yes but its so much more manageable and negative thoughts come and go like the wind. Started aderall yesterday and i was instantly relieved. I was judt calm and relaxed. I wanted to sleep during the first hour lol but i realized i had work. Work however was productive. I did all the tasks i had planned and did tasks for others when asked without getting annoyed and getting distracted and doing something else. My random moodswings was nonexistent yesterday. Sure i still got mildly annoyed but i judt kept it to myself and didnt send it out? I was able to control my emotions VOLUNATRILY. While previously it was mainly involuntary. It was weird but amazing. Even my coworker saw how I was. I was talking slowly yes but its the first time where i felt calm and ig normal?. Then on the way home i nearly cried in the car bc i was so emotionally overwhelmed with my experience bc I CANT BELIEVE IT WORKED. Even my psych was skeptical. I even asked "will it make me sleepy" and he said no not usually then i added "coffee makes me sleepy" then he said "if youre sleepy while on aderall thats a conclusive conclusion that I do indeed have adhd. And woopie i got tired on aderall lol. But i did notice after about 6-7 hours i started to regain my old symptoms but it was somewhat manageable. It wasnt until i started driving when i regained most of my symptom. Its weird?. Im seeing him again in 2 weeks and im gonna try to do it twice a day instead of once in the morning. Only bc im a fairly active guy who likes to go out and explore lol Plus work. So far so good! Im excited for the future and a new normal.
