You're very lucky you can change to an stimulant. I'm not so lucky because I was diagnosed as an adult, so I'm not allowed to take stimulants in Spain. Besides, stimulants work for half a day, more or less, and can't be taken every day.

I managed to study 2 hours yesterday. It seems that atomoxetine works. But it doesn't feel very effective, because I planned to study 8 hours, and a wild YouTube video appeared during my break. And today I'm doing nothing productive at all.
Medication works, but it doesn't work in the way I want, like methylphenidate did.
I had a competitive service exam last Sunday. I think I passed it, but I don't know yet, until the publication of the provisional official results after some weeks. That's the good news.
The bad news is that I've been bullied by two tankies over two comments I posted on lemmy.ml, and I'm so upset that I don't even know what to do or how to deal with it. Life fucking sucks, really.
Hi, Elmo Muskrat. Why don't you stop playing too much Call of Duty and instead you go to Russian occupied territories in Ukraine to see how Ukrainians are living and being treated? Just a little tiny suggestion, as small as your brain. You're welcome.
Laughs in Spanish from Spain.
Eternity doesn't show beehaw content either.
"I'm fine."
Wishful thinking, unfortunately.
For neurotypical people, that advice is really good and useful. For neurodivergent people, that advice has the same value as a turd.
My ADHD is in this picture and it doesn't know why Jupiter is not another star.
Thank you for the feedback. Still, brigading and harassing are allowed awful behaviours, and it seems that moderators/administrators do nothing against that.
It's OK, I won't complain (yet :P ). The problem was more the time when I take medications. Both Concerta and atomoxetine, I took them at breakfast, let's say between 7 and 8. Concerta wore off at 18, 19 or 20, it depended on the day, but sometimes I needed more time to do my stuff, until 22, and I felt upset because of that.
Atomoxetine starts fully working after weeks or months. But it works for 24 hours, so I can control when I start and when I stop doing my stuff.
Besides, I didn't take Concerta during weekends, which was good at that moment, but not always. Being a student has some circumstances. I stopped taking that pill in March, when I started atomoxetine.
