Sorry for the random post, but today I(22) took Elvanse for the first time. Only 20mg (I‘m 60kg) and still my head feels quiet and able, the mental barriers to starting tasks are almost gone and I can switch my attention and thoughts around to what I want. Is this even possible on that dose?

Did anyone experience similar things on their first try? Somehow I‘m still doubting if the effects are real or just the novelty placebo.

But they are real OMG, I‘m not in sensory overwhelm and actually get things done, I feel like I turned on the cheat menu in a video game!

If you can relate, please let me know bc I am so used to doubting my reasoning that I would really appreciate to know if someone had similar experiences!

Thanks!

    I can relate to the experience, although I just take Adderall XR. It literally unlocked mental superpowers for me. Not only do I get stuff done now, but I’m able to make conceptual connections between things like I always suspected, but was never before able to execute on. And I can do it fast, and often without trying. My guess is this is related to my high score on the ‘Perceptual Reasoning’ portion of the Neuropsych testing I did before I got my meds. But yeah, it’s phenomenal.
