High five corner 2.0

[darktendril]

My high five.. It is a tiny thing maybe, but I went to Walmart to pick up a few things, and just for fun I decided to see if I could remember everything without looking at my shopping list, and I did!!!  I also ended up getting a bunch of stuff that wasn’t on my list at all, but oh well……  🙂

I recently finally gave in to my psychologists’ recommendation to try medication, and while I don’t think it has suddenly given me amazing focus or anything, it is still a huge improvement over my non-medicated focus.  Little things like remembering what I went to the store to buy are proving that to me.  Also, being able to (mostly) pay attention during Totally ADD webinars!!  I have gone from catching about 30% of what is said to closer to 85% 🙂

@Darktendril, I find stores pretty overwhelming, so if you could get everything on your list without needing a list, that’s really something!

It sounds like the meds are working like they’re supposed to!

They’re not a “magic bullet”, and they won’t help your perception of time, and they won’t feel like some sort of transformation.  In fact, they may feel like nothing at all…except that you can focus a lot better with them than you can without them.

You might find that, after a while, you may need to talk to your doctor about changing your dose…maybe even prescribing different dosages, for different days.  That monthly hormonal roller-coaster can be “interesting”.
