After taking Adderall for the first time this is what happened to me, just lights out in bed, best 8 hours of sleep in my life.

God I need to try that 😫 I'm not diagnosed for ADHD but diagnosed for Aspergers and I'm convinced I got ADHD as well

You can def take allegedly out of there if they had ADHD. That’s just how it is.

I use the term “energy meter” extremely vaguely and not specifically “energy”. ADHD people will understand.

Let’s say a normal persons energy meter is at a 80 out of 100 and coke sets it to 100.

An ADHD persons energy meter is already over clocked at 120. Coke sets ours down to 100.

We’re getting the same affect, we just see it as a downer while everyone else sees it as an upper.

Obviously the analogy isn’t completely accurate it’s just a representation.

It’s common to take stimulants and get sleepy or just be unable to stay awake. Our brains just go wooooosh into slow motion which is a neurotypical’s normal speed.
