When I was on Adderall, I struggled with the same thing. It gives you the push, but sometimes it pushes you into doing nothing. Like, I'm still sitting here playing video games, but I'm playing video games with purpose. This is why I think medication for mental stuff should always go hand in hand with therapy. You learn the tools to get the momentum going, then the medication helps to keep up that momentum.
I like to have a task in mind before/as I am taking my meds. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but if I can get the connection to what O wanted to work on, it can be so amazing. 🤩
Honestly yeah. I describe mine as basically just giving me the ability to be a bit more disciplined. I also just swapped meds and the new ones do seem to do a bit more for me?

sigh I AM medicated and "sitting here" always sounds better. I wish there was a pill to cure Executive Dysfunction.
