    Very divided on the effect of the ADHD medication I'm taking right now.

    On the one hand, I'm my old moody self and doing things suck just as much as before.

    On the other hand, I'm getting far more done, despite the suck.

    I guess this is closer to how normal people have it. It sucks to do your job, plan your finances and do the heavy lifting, but you do it anyway.

    In a weird way, it feels like the medication is doing nothing and I'm just faking normality for an extended period of time.

      By comparison, Ritalin was more of an outright drug. It made me not care about anything because I was dissociated. Everything I did and everything that happened to me felt like it might as well have been another person, and I was just telling that person what to do.

      I sort of liked how it kept my emotions at bay though. I have too many useless feelings, and this new medication doesn't seem to get rid of those.

        I can see why Ritalin is so popular with among parents of unruly school children. It makes you shut up and do what you're supposed to, because it floods your brain with "this is fine" chemicals.

        The problem is that you no longer want anything in particular. You can make decisions, but they're never influenced by your desires, just by your knowledge. In other words.
