What's up everybody it's me with ADHD welcome back to the Adderall vlog and this is one month on Adderall So the first thing I'm gonna know is after my first week of being on Adderall I switched immediately to 20 milligrams. I was originally on 10 milligrams and While the effects were really amazing. I noted all of this in my original blog about how amazing it was It kind of After a few days it like kind of didn't give me the same feeling that it gave me on the first day Like again for the rest of that week. So I ended up putting it up to 20 milligrams Which my doctor said is pretty normal. So 20 milligrams was pretty good It felt the same as it originally did when I took the 10 I felt really focused all the time as well. I felt Energetic was the big one because I'd stopped drinking coffee Because you can't really mix stimulants together You're at it always like a prescribed amount of stimulant so it's like if you add coffee to that That's an unregulated stimulant because you don't know how much caffeine is in your coffee So when you mix both of those together it can kind of throw off your medicine So I had to stop drinking it all together which is fine apart from the severe headaches and the Like exhaustion that I got from it But the good thing is after a couple days that Adoro had started to kind of use its Own stimulant as an energy booster for me. So I felt like I had the energy again, which was great Oh the good thing about the focus thing was You know, I know what we can still focus but people with ADHD have such a hard time focusing on one certain thing because they don't get enough Stimulation to the brain from that one thing but with the Adoro at 20 milligram I felt like I could pick and choose what I wanted to be focused on which to be honest I feel like is what every like person who doesn't have ADHD feels like I feel like they can just focus on whatever they want and it's fine Whereas for me and for us it's like all over the place so it's Really, I mean it was really great to be able to feel like I could just take that one thing and be like right I need to focus on this a good example of this would be like during my previous work Which is something that I've never really noticed until now was I felt like all of my work was super overwhelming like there was so much of it I felt like I was constantly having to do like all these different things all the time And it was kind of like where do you start? You have a bunch of tasks and which one do you start on because there's so many and then because there's so many It's all for well-meaning and then because it's all for well-meaning you wait until last second to try and do everything and then I mean right the good thing was on the Adoro I could just kind of walk in a work pick up a note pad and then Write down every single task that I had and literally just be like right, but it's not these out boom boom boom boom boom Easy as that and that's something that I've never been able to feel like I could do before and it was really great to see that And another thing that I felt was I had more of a realization of how much I struggled in the past before it So like in the past I never noticed how much I was overwhelmed by tasks like how like having a lot of tasks at once You know that's something that I came to realize immediately. I also came to notice that I wasn't as erratic. I wasn't as all over the place with everything You know, I was a little bit more organized now because I felt like my thoughts were more organized Which was really cool, you know, and also People started to notice that I started to pay more of attention to them So in the past like it's not like I wasn't paying attention to them. It's just That conversation is there and I could hear that but there's other things that I need to be focused on at that time You know, so I'm listening to them while I'm also Looking at my TV or I'm looking at my computer screen or I'm doing something on my phone and then they think that I'm being super rude and they're like Skies and even listen to me, but it's not true I am because then I'll answer them with the exact answer that they've been you know that they asked me and it's crazy because now I can sit and I can literally just listen and talk to people and I feel like I don't need that extra You know to get me through the conversation Which is awesome especially for like meetings and stuff like that I just feel like I don't need to be Unfocused anymore so all that stuff was really great and I was enjoying myself on my first month of Adiroll Especially bumping it up to the 20 milligram. It was really awesome But here's something that I didn't see coming so you know I see all these changes within myself and I feel really awesome about it and it is awesome The problem there is you notice all these changes but Everyone else is either they don't recognize them immediately or They still know you are who you are so for an example I would say let's say you're in school or you're in work and your teacher or your boss kind of They know you have the concentration and the memory problems. They know all that kind of stuff about you and that's kind of who you've been For however long you've been there So now you have all these amazing changes in you and it's amazing and you can see it and they can see it but you still have built up this person Who you are before and they're gonna still kind of try and treat you like that Which was frustrating for me because I was like how can you not see these changes that I'm feeling and They can see them. It's just like I said you've built up this premise for the last however long You've been there that this is who you are and people's opinions don't just change like immediately Which for me was frustrating because I As someone with ADHD I like instant gratification on everything and the fact that it wasn't instantly changing with other people I really found that frustrating and I had to sit and take a step back and Just kind of realize that It's not their fault. It's just human nature and you're gonna have to kind of work your way into Giving them any mindset of who you are But anyway Approaching the end of the month Everything was going really great and then I had a period of work where I was working like a lot I was doing a lot of extra work outside of work I was doing a lot of work in work and I started to get a lot less sleep than I would normally get This led to me thinking that it was the adderol that wasn't working anymore It wasn't it was the fact that I was getting no sleep Which you do need to get good sleep you need a regular good diet when you're on adderol You need all that kind of stuff for it to work and for you to be healthy Well, I didn't have that and I started to think that it was because of the adderol So I went and spoke to my doctor and we ended up increasing my adderol to 30 milligrams I will let you know how that went in the next one But for this one, I'm done.
