I’m talking about your standard prescription dose of stimulants.

I’ve been on stimulants, Aderoll specifically, for 8 years but over the years my close friends and family have made statements that I’m just ‘high all the time’ and it really hurt my feelings. I never thought of it that way I was just taking my meds a prescribed.

My feelings were hurt by others comments so much so that I got off the Aderoll last year and have been trying out a multitude of different ADHD meds that just don’t compare with the productivity and engagement with my life that I previously had with Aderoll.

I want to ask people who have actually taken the med not some APRN that has just read about it. I’m looking for actual lived experiences.

What’s taking Aderoll like for you? For me, I can focus and keep a thought for longer than 5 mins and actually carry it out. Also Aderoll gives me that…static on the TV feeling inside which helps me get moving and complete my tasks instead of sitting on the couch staring at a wall lost in thought.

After seven months of experimenting other ADHD meds with no luck I’m finally on Concerta 54mg and I don’t feel anything in my body but I do notice I function a a tiny bit better but overall still feel disconnected from my life. I’m starting to wonder if the physical feeling of Aderoll is the ‘high’ everyone around me keeps talking about because I’ve only felt it with that…? I’m so conflicted internally over this.

Period, that’s the whole message.

I hate when guests do anything.
I hate when they ask me if I work here
I hate when they stand in my working space
I hate when they ask me if what they are looking for is in the back
I hate how the shipped guests just put a phone in my face and they expect me to find their item without saying a word
I hate when guests trash the store
I hate when guests put something in the wrong department
I hate when guests throw around the department I just zoned.

Over all I just when guests

What’s yours?

So this guy is at LEAST five years younger than me. There could even be more years between us. I’ve tried to indirectly bring it up but I don’t want to get the ick just yet.

How much of an age gap until it’s weird? I have younger siblings and when we were small we made a pact to not date each others friends. I think my siblings might even be older than this guy.

Older guys who date younger girls are quickly labeled ‘predator’ what are older women dating younger men called…? A cougar? Is this time for me to embrace my cougar era?

I’m curious what other people think about this as I’ve never thought to date younger than me.
