First experience with adderall, felt like a zombie
Took a 7.5 mg dose of adderall for the first time to see if it’d help my ADHD at all. (Taken it twice now with the same experience) I felt like a complete zombie. I kept zoning out with no thoughts whatsoever, kept speaking in a low voice without realizing it, wasn’t very outgoing and felt like i had no personality whatsoever. Life felt boring and although it did help me focus on conversations, i had no motivation to do anything and almost felt too calm. Didn’t want to get up to do anything. Didn’t really feel like myself and felt way too serious. I like the way I could actually listen to people talk and watch a movie without zoning out, but feeling like a zombie and even walking slow and stiff and talking like I had no emotion was not worth it. Does anyone else experience this? I’m a bartender and thought about taking it before work so I could multitask better but if my socializing is gonna be like this, then definitely not taking it!
One thing I did love is how I had no anxiety, worries, or overstimulation which is what i deal with daily. My mind was so calm and quiet but maybe a little too much. My boyfriend was constantly asking if something was wrong because i hardly had any emotion and I kept staring at the wall and not speaking. I’ve seen that this may be normal but are people seriously going through this everyday? I’d rather have my extremely bubbly and all over the place personality than a boring robotic one. Does this get better or are you guys just dealing with it?
