Well, against what some people I know would call 'better judgment' I decided to have a little experiment yesterday. Around 12:30 in the afternoon, I took 25mg of Adderall, just to see what it does. I expected it to give me plenty of energy, similar to when I was taking caffeine pills. I was a little surprised.
What did end up happening, was after I had a good hour of being moderately energetic (similar to caffeine) I realized it wasn't that I was hyper, it's that I wasn't tired. I've spent every day for MONTHS being tired. I haven't had ambition for almost anything; I've been depressed, and I've had terrible memory problems. Yesterday, I was able to focus on everything I had to do, I wasn't cranky from being tired, I didn't feel fuck-all depressed, and I actually felt good, for the first time in a while. Taking vitamins has helped, but this... for the past few years, I've been struggling with incessant depression. Yesterday I felt like how I use to feel. It was a good feeling.
Ironically, a few days ago, one of my best friends checked herself in to a psych ward. I have always sworn she and I were pretty much the same person. She's starting antidepressants and some anti-manic medication today. I guess I can just add this to the list of way's we're alike...
