@sjw@Moon@coolboymew One of the funnier things about this video for me is probably how I needed to take breaks from it occasionally or wind it back to grasp all of it. Another funny things is how I struggle to write this post. But there's really a lot of stuff that fits me. Most of it, really, to some extent or another.
>They let me actually be able to do things and be productive
Basically, does it make you go over that weird dread of starting to do anything? Because it's a fucking plague lately, can barely even bother watching anime sometimes
Without it, say there's an article I want to read. I will struggle to even make it through even the 1st paragraph and even if I read every single word chances are that I'll have no idea what I just read at the end.
With the Adderall I can do it pretty easily. Still harder for me than someone without ADHD but it brings me to a point where I can easily manage it.
Additionally, sitting at a desk doing boring work for a whole shift is nearly impossible without the Adderall and I'll only get maybe ¼ of my normal work done.
If you don't have ADHD then taking Adderall won't really help you and may make it harder to focus. You'll also have trouble sitting still which is the opposite effect it has for people with ADHD.
ADHD is pretty much a dopamine deficiency in the brain thought to be caused by a lower than normal amount of dopamine receptors. Amphetamines like Adderall causes your neurons to both release more dopamine and also keeps them from reabsorbing the dopamine as quickly. Methylphenidate (i.e. ritalin and concerta) only keeps your neurons from reabsorbing dopamine as quickly but to a greater extent than amphetamines do so the end result is pretty similar. It's all about getting dopamine levels around normal.
For people without ADHD it'd produce an excessive amount of dopamine.
Here's a really good video that explains what ADHD is like. I actually learned some things from this video. It described things I've experienced my whole life but never knew it was a symptom of ADHD. It was really eye opening. Also helped me identify the cause of things so I've been able to better manage them and actually improve.

@coolboymew@Moon They let me actually be able to do things and be productive They also curb my appetite and it's kind of like super coffee in the morning.
Also, I've never seen pills just labelled with what it is and the dose instead of a serial number you have to look up online. Why can't all pills be like this? PXL_20230328_152051466.jpg
