khios

I'm on the same path. I feel like I will ask for a IR to take around 5PM because I can't switch off after work and it's starting to affect my couple.

I can feel the medication starting to wear off around 4PM and get sucked into the time blindness and must work/play rather than spend time with my family.

Thanks for your message. Eyes opening

Have you tried? I can take a nap no problem on them. I would even say that they greatly help me falling asleep!

It allows me (us?) to make conscious change. It didn't fix everything, it allows me to see more than 1 week ahead and make conscious decision to acquire new knowledge and automatism.

I never had a racing heart taking it and it didn't elevate my tension. It allows me to take a nap when I want without those racing thoughts about "life"

"It helps me stay in my golden cage" is what I tell my GFriend.

I don't give a shit about my job but it allowed me to buy a house, take vacations and sometimes buy an extensive toy.

I would gladly stay in my own world and daydream away, doing some woodworking and see birds in my garden but if I lose my job all that will go away.

So I take my ~3€/day pill and try to do my best. I've lost so many opportunities before getting diagnosed...

I've been taking Elvanse for 6 months. If I don't make the conscious effort I will not take it... I feel like addiction is not a worry at all.

It allowed me to stop eating my feelings (which allowed me to lose 13kg and counting), made me stop drinking, I still play games but can stop whenever.

I know I will surely have to take it my whole life (days I don't, I'm a wreck) but I see it as a diabetic needing insuline.
