    It’s so insanely hard to describe the difference between life with medication, and life without.

    It’s also insanely difficult to describe why I want to sleep so much on days I don’t take meds. The best I came up with is that it’s like if focus is a muscle, and you’re in muscle relaxers.

      Not sure if you knew, but if you’re taking Vyvanse or Adderall, they’re amphetamines so they would definitely give you more energy. That’s one thing that I noticed, I started running out of gas earlier in the day, which really sucks. I also have less energy in general.

      I’m coming closer and closer to a good description of life without. I want to start my own comic about this stuff, like ADHD Dinos. I can’t draw, so I’m going to have to AI it.
