Wow John! That is awesome! Today was my first day on medication too but I was given Dexedrine. I took it at 2pm today and now it has just worn off (and I have a throbbing head ache!!), but I was still able to read through your post FULLY and understood every bit of it!!

I didnt really notice when mine kicked in.. Work seems quieter than usual, and I seemed a little slower, calmer is a better word I guess. I wasnt all frantic all over the place as I always am. Sad thing is I had a routine and got my job done while being frantic and now that im calmer I am afraid Ive missed something. I too found I wasnt looking for words as much. I would pause and get the word where as before I would stumble and mumble and just get frustrated!

Im not too sure about this Dexedrine, and I know my head is hurting really bad right now, but its only day one! Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Great to hear your doing so awesome!!
