Adderall redux: The XR edition.

It's been a while since my last attempt to treat my crazy-ass ADHD.

Positives:

1. The chatter in my head stopped for the first time ever.
2. I was able to actually do several consecutive hours of work at a time.
3. I could fucking focus on things, like completing a workout.
   

Negatives:

1. I was less funny.
2. I lost 25 pounds in 25 days.
3. I was borderline OCD.
4. I got too used to the spiky nature of Adderall.

After many months, I revisited my psychiatrist, and went over the situation. After much discussion, we decided that I would start on Adderall XR, a once-a-day, less-spiky, 12-hour medicine. 20mg for 4 days, then 40 mg/day.

I took my first dose about 2 hours ago.

So, here we go. Help or hinder? Friend or foe? I guess we'll find out.

Love to all. Even you, the interviewee who forgot pretty much everything.
