I am FINALLY going to be able to trial Adderall after taking a long break from meds and want to track how I’m doing daily. What do you do so that you can know the meds are having a positive/negative effect? What are the indicators you track?

Worksheets, your own indicators, apps, etc. would by great. I’m leaning towards making my own worksheet but idk what some of the most important things would be to keep track of.

    i dunno for me it’s basically an on/off switch. every stim has a different range but it’s always very low but not quite a micro-dose

    if i get a little sleepy when it hits followed by this sort of “brain smoothing” i’m in the neuro zone

      God I wanna be in the neuro zone so badly lol. So it sounds to me that, overwhelmingly, people are able to notice a difference when it does work. I just can’t believe that the efficacy of the drugs are just so specific like I’ve tried 4 different types, this will be my fifth so I am convinced I’m missing something or actually don’t have ADHD
