I've taken Adderall for the past year and tried some other stimulants. So far adderall is tolerated better by my body and and wallet compared to other meds.
Improvements: Follow-through with tasks since I can hold an idea or thought to the end. Being okay with good enough, I am not fighting my self to make it perfect and just move on. I can read a book. Math is actually interesting since it doesn't feel like I am looking at a shattered mirror of scattered lessons. I am suprised about how much stuff I have retained from school but couldn't utilize. My handwriting is great and doesnt feel like a chore to make it legible. Conversations feel like I'm actually in the room and participating. I don't know how I did customer service and retail before.
What did not improve: My short term memory still sucks. Playing 20 questions to get a super simple concept out is shorter but still happens. Procratination is just different, now I do some productive stuff while procrastinating so maybe it's an improvement. While doing things is easier, the planning phase of anything is a game of moving deck chairs on the Titanic and I just improvise in the end. Time is still an illusion and holy fuck I'm late for work.
The way they do pricing and inventory, by paper and pen, is one of the many reasons shoplifting is so easy there.
