Its interesting how my expiernce in almost every regard is the exact opposite.. on amphetamines I have 0 patience... even when something is going perfectly I get extremely frustrated with minor things and need to put something down just because im too annoyed with it. Off of it I can persue a thing forever.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins it's funny because you don't sound like you have ADHD until you take meds lol
Hahaha, I can see that... but I do. The one thing that happens when im not on meds is i spread myself too thin doing too many things at once while following through on none of it. On the meds I get stuff done and tend to focus on one thing at a time, I just get very frustrated.
On the drugs ill follow through on something and it will be mediocer... off the drugs i wont follow through on any project but ill have 100 brilliant ideas.
Usually if i dont have a 9-5 ideally ill go through cycles on and off. When off I come up with ideas and take notes, and when on it i pick an idea and follow through, rinse repeat.
The sweet spot for me is 1-2 weeks on it. In that case I am hyper focused, no frustration, Its the sweet spot.
well if i use it much longer than that can be unpleasant.
That said if i have a 9-5 I absolutely need it every day to keep a normal sleep schedule.. I cant sleep when off of it very reliably oddly enough.
