For anyone on add or adhd medication

Asked by anna87 about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

This is WICKED hard to explain - and everyone I've tried to explain this to always thinks I'm crazy, haha.
I don't remember the name of the medication I'm taking now (it starts with a V--- viyonase or something?) but I'm not sure it matters because the...

last one I was on years ago had the same effect on me.

Ok, so, the most I can articulate this feeling is like.. I become almost overwhelmed with a desire to have things organized. I mean, I pretty much enjoy it. It's kind of a kick in the butt. It's not overwhelmed to the point of giving me anxiety or anything, but it's just -- for example, I just took my pill a little while ago, and (I'm a student) I have a big urge to organize my binder, or do my homework and write everything out very neatly. Or do a paper. Or clean a lot. It's weird right??
I guess another way to describe it is it makes me want to accomplish things?

I really don't know how else to explain it. But what I've also noticed is, it'll come in like highs and I'll have mini-crashes in between where I'm like what am I doing? I don't feel like doing this homework right now or something, and then a minute later its back.

Thank you guys!

I'm taking the same stuff for my ADHD. I guess it's the timed release that does it. It's supposed to be a 15 hour pill, so I'm guessing that that's the way it manages to stretch out to 15 hours. I'm starting to crash right now...

I am on adderall, and I get energy, too, but it helps me focus. What you r feeling and going through is normal. It took me 2 different meds though before I found the one that helped me.
