A description of how Adderall affects the brain of a person who actually has ADHD

My brain normally: like 5 TVs playing all at once on full volume 24/7. It’s real hard to watch the “homework” TV when all the other ones are playing too (and they’re all playing much more interesting programs).

My brain on Adderall: only one TV is on. I still have to work to keep it on the “homework” channel (it’s way more fun to hyperfocus on the social media/talking with friends/making art channel) but at least I don’t have a bunch of other TVs going so it’s a bit easier.

TL;DR: ppl w/adhd aren’t taking meds for the “high” or whatever. Some of us really need meds to function. But also, meds aren’t magic and we still work hard to focus even when we’re on them.

Im really glad someone explained this to the point where it is nearly spot on with how i feel when i take my adderall

That was my goal in writing this, so I'm really glad this helped you in some small way. One day at a time, right? Also I'm v sorry about all the drug blogs who keep replying to this post. The whole point is destigmatization and they're not helping lol
