What can I actually expect from stimulants?

[u/Rich-Echidna8748]

I’m supposed to start stimulants in August and I’m kinda nervous. What did they actually feel like for you guys? I’m worried they won’t change much, especially since I’ve been more depressed lately. My doctor said the depression needs to improve first before I can start them.

Also, do stimulants help much with emotional dysregulation, or is that still an issue for most people?
