Fuck. Was I always supposed to be able to get to sleep inside of ten minutes? What do you mean my attention is supposed to be like a searchlight that follows my eyes, and I’m not supposed to look through things? Why are all these objects in a pile distinct entities? I thought I had to use the ‘search’ function to return random loot from the pile? Why aren’t these random background noises filling me with a steady, seething rage?

    yoo congrats! What dose are you on, if I may ask?

    I started on 10mg of Medikinet Retard (same thing as Adderall XR iirc) about a week and a half ago, and the effect has been… very subtle. Slightly longer feeling days, slightly more things getting done right away, maybe a bit easier time planning? The naps have been pretty good too, but that might just be because I had to quit caffeine during titration :o

          Mind if I just jump in here and praise your username?

          And yeah, I wonder if that medication is from Europe, thinking the word may not have the same cultural baggage in many countries there and might only refer to the original meaning of the action of slowing or moderating.

      I thought I’d add, it’s not the same as Adderall XR

      Medikinet seems to be Methylphendiate Hydrochloride which is the same as Ritalin. I’m not sure if they are extended release or not, but Adderall contains Amphetamine (Mix of 75% Dextroamphetamine and 25% Levoamphetamine). Adderall XR being the extended release version of this Amphetamine mix.

      If you want to know more about the differences I’d be happy to explain.
