I'm realising I'm finally acquiring the proper relationship with meds. This comes through mental stabilisation.

They help me... they make me thoughtful, mindful, reasonable, calm, relaxed...etc etc ad infinitum.

I take them... they help me.

I'm not taking them out of desperation anymore. I realise I take them, they help me. The psychiatrist wants to help me. They help me open up to him, then he is happy, I get the treatment I need. In this case today it was going from BID to TID dosing. Feels right to me. Just about perfect. Hopefully I never have to take more and a 10mg dose works fine for a while. Maybe in the future I'll try 12.mg per dose and see if it can help me more.

But I'm patient with med stuff now. There is no hurry. Feeling hurried and as though everything has to be done immediately is a destabilised ADHD mind. Allowing myself to calm down for 12 hours a day is amazing...I have no choice in the matter. The mind starts working after about an hour of taking these things.

More thought, less useless distracting feelings and reactions to stimulus.

How is your relationship to your stimulant medication and how do you feel about it in a broad general sense?

*Note: I put this thread under Addiction and Abuse forum simply for the fact some may not have a good relationship with their meds and they will be able to discuss it here.

My relationship is alright ATM. I feel like i NEED to take it to do ANYTHING productive. Maybe cuz I've been taking so much cuz of finals. I'm hoping that when finals are done, about a week, I'll give my brain a vacation from it so it can reset. Anyone find success in that?

My relationhip with adderrall is slave (me) master (adderrall)

.....I wish i did'nt need them
I tried 6 years with no meds...and the quality of my life was, no existant..

I worry I won't be able to get them if there's a hurricane...
....or if for some reason they were unavailable.

I feel like its the string my sanity is hanging from.

I wish I could be free, but I'm far from happy without em.
