Hey
I started Methylin 10mg twice a day 1 week ago.
I really do feel the difference in the abilitiy to pay attention. I used to write away in my journal since I have a desk job and just get lost elsewhere. im a telesales rep and call people and i would sit on the last call i was so distracted and just kinda sneak by doing my thing and at my convenience call the next person. now, im lucky if 2 sentences go in my journal at all for my whole 5 hour shift. And I just go go go in calling people now.
Its like im so engrossed in what I am doing and Im a different person and Im not looking around so much anymore. And my shift just goes by so fast and im so much more organized in my performance overall and more calm then i had been ever being on the phones. and im becoming more on the ball with the people and my sales technique...
Im talking slower due to the medication i think too since people are understanding me better.(but when i forget and its past 12pm look out... im like some mad auctioneer! and thats my cue to take my 12pm dose right there) Before I knew what this strange new phenomenon was, I was actually fighting the medication and trying to talk my normal fast jibberish talk since it felt uncomfortable and it didnt feel like I was the one talking at the moment. But I could talk slower....and i learned to accept it since its what was working and continuiing to work in my presentations..
I feel more energetic for the most part on it. However, I still have the problems with getting up and getting moving in the morning with it and ive been late to work or cutting it real close more of the time. I have problems getting my cleaning done because im just too tired after I come home from work and from all the out of home stuff afterwards I usually gotta do on a day to day basis....I sit on the internet and swear I will clean in an hour and usually, im asleep by then, or 3 hours of have gone and im passed out and i wake up the next morning in a panic having to get to work. I figure my last dose probably wears off at 4pm if I take it at 12pm so its odd i would feel the residuals of being tired like I do in the evening.... ??????
I still have problems getting up and down at work a lot too, but slowly, its improving since i dont do it as much as i did before.....
Im still somewhat hyped but at least its not like an unfocused hype like it was where i stuck out in an ackward fashion to my peers, but rather one which my peers actually enjoy and isnt as much an intereference...
its good to like sort of mesh in a little more to the real world, but yet, I feel still rather robotic in the way i am even if the meds are helping me out this time over being on the ADDerall almost 100%. i guess this is better then nothing tho and the way it was...i guess ill have to adjust.
Man, it really kills the nights since i used to do all my stuff at night when i wasnt getting any sleep. that schedule is changing real fast due to maybe? the methylin so i gotta think of somehting else...
this is my experience thus far
