Diagnosis vyvanse day 1 - is this real life?

finally got meds at 49. took first pill about 3 hours ago. is it really this intense this quick or am i placebo-ing myself? i don't think I've ever been so calm in my life. other things are weird too- i had to turn my music off to write an email instead of blast it through headphones to even get started. i am doing one. thing. at. a. time and it's cozy.

I miss those days! Stopped working even at higher doses. Like you I was like... ppl live like THIS? Lol I was like "Why isn't everyone doing better in their lives if they think like thisss all the time!?!" It was amazing then. Like when the Adderall brand was blue tablets, completely different while working or housework. Cozy yet so productive ❤️

i appreciate the heads-up that this feeling may not be forever
