This is going to sound backwards, but someone please chime in and tell me if you experience similar effects.

When I take my dex, I am actually MORE creative than when off it. When I am off dex, my thinking is really clouded with worries, and random stuff that I think about doing for about 10 seconds, and then change subjects.

When I am on dex, I am VERY attentive to people. I ask questions, listen, and give excellent feedback. I even get many compliments on how good of a listen I am, and people really enjoy my company for it. When on dex I can solve problems quickly, and set clearcut plans and goals for what I want to achieve.

I can think better - and when I say think I mean "talk to myself". When I read a book, I notice I slow down on certian words and pictures form in my brain. Its just an all around clearer understanding of whatever I am focusing on.

Anyway, I am rambling. When I am on dex I come up with all these awesome ideas. Blogging for money - and I instantly have 10-15 ideas and plans of how I could do it exactly laid out in my head. It just comes to me like a picture on my mind. I see everything I want clearly, Its really amazing.

Anyone Relate?

im the opposite by choice

So your more creative by choice?

naw i just chose to live with the crazyness in my head and as a result im creative although i might have already been creative naturally. I just choose to live with it :D . But thats me

I'm not medicated, but when I take stimulants, such as coffee, I tend to think clearer and be able to focus better. When I start work again, I'm going to try and get officially diagnosed and get on medication.

I'm curious, is the effect similar to caffeine? Better or worse?
