I'm on 5mg 2-3 times a day as needed. I took the first dose yesterday afternoon and felt mildly more focused after an hour or so. Today, pretty much the same: better focus, longer on individual tasks. Mostly, I think my motivation is stronger & I have less lethargy. After a long vigorous walk with one of my dogs early this afternoon, I came home and napped briefly & it didn't affect my sleep last night either. Doesn't seem to make my benign essential tremor worse, but that could develop after a few days. I can sit still and work longer than usual, but it's not as if I've knocked out the first chapter of The Great American Novel or anything. Side effects: Noted by their absence, maybe a bit of dry mouth, but not bad. I do think I'd like to go to an extended release stim -- partly because I don't like having to think about when to medicate myself over the course of the day & partly because I'm the sort of person who is likely to take the maximum daily dose whether I need it or not.
Let's keep comparing notes.
