If I got rid of everything that didn't "spark joy"...I'd be on the side of the road with the cat and my coffee maker.

Quote from: Peter on December 07, 2010, 08:46:14 AMTook dexamphetamine, but didn't take caffeine. Caffeine can be a big help at times, but it loses it's effectiveness and I get bad side-effects after a few weeks of taking it, including physical and mental fatigue, angular cheilitis, an unpleasant sensation in my head which I think is caused by vasoconstriction in my frontal lobes, dry mucus membranes, a loss of creativity and initiative, irritability and difficulty in making decisions.The side-effects from dexamphetamine are very few and mild compared to caffeine. The only area in which it's worse than caffeine is the withdrawal when I take a break from it. When I take a break from caffeine, I can feel shitty for a few days but I'm usually still reasonably functional, but taking a break from dexamphetamine usually entails sleeping for 18 hours a day for the first few days and being very unproductive during my waking hours. It's not as unpleasant as caffeine withdrawal can be, and it can be quite relaxing at times, but it's frustrating to have a week in which almost nothing useful gets done.So are you diagnosed with ADHD Peter?I have taken my meds today.

14:10 - Moarskrillex42: She said something about knowing why I wanted to move to Glasgow when she came in. She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?
Yes. And brought an orange into McDonald's to eat with my b'fast.
Yes, I did.
No, and my emotions show it.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
I am self-medicating with food right now.
