So I started adderall for the first time today! I was excited and nervous. It is the first time my adult ADD/ADHD is being treated medically. Am I just so hopeful that I imagined the effects working so quickly or can it be true? I was having my morning coffee, having my usual morning barrage of thoughts that I try to find and follow a strand of to focus myself and my day on and it was like all of the sudden they slowed and flowed and funelled to a normal feeling pace. It's refreshing. It's inexplicable. As I said in a pm to a friend on the forum it was like before all I could see was the forest and suddenly I can see the trees! I mean like there are maples and oaks and evergreens if you'll pardon me carrying the metaphor too far. Ok maybe I am being a nut here. Is this really how this stuff works, so well and so quickly? Or am I having some imagined and overly hopeful illusion? I was seeing one pdoc who wouldn't prescribe anything for my ADHD/ADD and she dropped my insurance. The new doc was who was willing to try this. I feel a little angry at my old doc for denying me this help and I am no longer mad she dropped me but grateful! Ok that's enough out of me except maybe to say am I imagining this but things even look more clear. I am a very happy woman right now. Sorry for the ramble!
