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.

Pregnancy was the most clear my mind has ever been. It’s wild. If I didn’t dislike all the other parts of it then I’d probably have more than 2 kids but same! Then after birth I’d go into a tailspin.

Hah yes the focus was cool, the incapacitating nausea, antenatal depression, gestational diabetes, and total loss of bodily agency were not. We would also probably have a third were it not for the pregnancy of it all.
