Anyone with A.D.D who's taken drugs here? Do you remember what it feels like? I haven't taken any, how do they make life different? I will say this however, I've found that a moderate dose of alcohol (1 pint of beer) usually makes me focus better/more discipline and I'm able to resume working on my master thesis. Usually, I cannot work on it because it's almost over(in my head it's over) and I want to do something else.

I am currently pursuing an academic career but I really feel that I would have been better at doing something simpler, like sports. Short tasks, competition, and recognition are very important for me.
