I've taken my largest dose of Adderall yet, 15 mg. I know it's not a lot, but I'm very sensitive to stimulants in general (almost zero caffeine intake). I generally take 5mg at around 9 am and leave it at that. Sometimes I'll take another 5 with lunch. Today I felt extra fuzzy, so I took 10 at lunch instead.

I feel like I'm still scatterbrained, but faster. Still context switching like crazy. Can't follow through things to completion. What gives?

I’ve found that if I don’t make an effort to focus, I won’t - drugs or not. I’ll just go down a random rabbit hole if I’m not careful. “What do I want to work on for the next hour”

those ridiculous coping mechanisms people offer for time management - give them a shot again. They might actually work with the drugs. That’s been my experience at least.

Thanks, that makes sense.
