For folks who were prescribed Adderall, how did it impact your performance in life and work? Just started this week and feel less distracted which is good but also less aroused, which idk if it’s bad or good. Is that normal or just in my head?

Both of the things you described are intended effects of the medication.

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
