Taking it before dressing up helps.

You've introduced a new problem

Dressing up?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Dressing up as a functional adult.

I.e. “playing pretend”

"I like your outfit."

"Good, because I'm not wearing this uncomfortable outfit for me."

I need to take two, one before and one after breakfast. That just makes it much more complicated.

[-] Mikufan@ani.social -1 points 8 months ago

Oh... Well then you need to put the first right next to your toothpaste and the second one wherever you cant miss it during breakfast.

Well if breakfast itself isn't the problem that is.

So, my workflow should look like this:

Wake up at 7:29 (One minute before the alarm, because I set it to spotify, it enables shuffle which is hella annoying while driving.)
Take 5 mg Medikinet to be able to do basically anything, and drive later
Get ready
Breakfast
30 mg Medikinet retarded (Which means it just hits later and longer)
10 mg Medikinet retarded in the afternoon, because school is til 5 pm

It actually looks like this:

Wake up at 7:00
Stand up at 7:45
Get ready
5 mg Medikinet
A quarter of a breakfast, because at that point school starts in ~15 minutes with an 18 minute drive
30 mg Medikinet
As I did not have time to get a water bottle ready, no 10 mg Medikinet

But in the end, it doesn't even matter... because I basically finished school with minimal effort and still got a dual study program

Sounds like you need a higher dosage...

My peek was at 4 20mg (yes weed number lol), 2 60mg Retard Medikinet and 1 40mg a day.

But yes, i know that shit. Once i "oversleep" a entire fucking day because i forgot that it was Monday and not Sunday.

My problem isn't really that it's too low, but that I forget to prepare water and the 5 mg at my bed before sleep. So I should probably do it in the morning, with Medikinet in my system. Because once I take it, it does work very well, and I notice once it goes back down (as long as I actually do something requiring my concentration). Driving without and with is like night and day. And after noon, especially noticeable in exams, everything drops down.
