Got medicated and suddenly started finishing everything. Built a streaming server, hacked my phone and TV, built a toolbench, lost a bunch of weight, started refurbishing antiques, started fixing things in my house, ran out of stuff to fix and started fixing my sisters house, became a reliable master at my office, started designing furniture, making toys for friends kids, rebuilding old powertools to fill a shop with, all since September.

Go to a doctor or folks. I didn't have insurance and the appointment and meds cost like 200$

If you don't mind me asking, which medication?

I did a course of adderall and it was effective for ADHD. But it also had me feeling like I had electricity for blood, and was the very figure of focus all shift. Then I lose all energy and the will to do anything for myself after clocking out. So effective, but only in a way that destroys my work-life balance.

So, yeah. An effective alternative would be nice.

Vyvanse. It felt like I was on molly for a week, then it became so subtle I didn't even notice when it took effect or wore off. It allowed me to learn how to be motivated, so now even if I forget a dose, I still get shit done.

I feel this too. I've started and stopped vyvanse quite a few times now, but overall it enhances my mood which in turn makes me actually stay motivated and do things I like doing.
