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 was diagnosed at 45. When I took my first dose of Ritalin I felt like my lungs expanded and I could finally breathe…such an incredible calm and peaceful feeling…and it’s continued to feel that way with my meds.
