It's almost embarrassing to compare how well my head works when I medicate my ADHD to when I don't take the meds. I swear to god, it's like it adds a few points to your IQ. When I do code or math, the good ideas I need just come to me quicker than without them, and it feels like a very natural thing. It's like a car with a badly tuned engine. It'll take you where you're going, but it won't go well, and it might break down sooner than usual.
