Stimulant based meds did a similar thing to me but also made my heart race so fast I felt like I was having a heart attack. Good thing there's non-stomulant ADHD meds!

The introvert's conundrum: wants thing, thing requires socializing. Wants cozy, cozy means no thing. The issue every time I see something cool in FFXIV and find out it requires not only socializing but skill and teamwork to get lol. My wife comments all the time on "wow when did you learn [skill]" and the answer is usually either: I had a problem and did not want to deal with people to fix it so I found out or it's something I've been into for a while and desperately want to yap about but didn't think she'd be interested in hearing lol

This sounds like a non-ADHD person's reaction to ADHD drugs, or at the very least not the desired outcome. If you're at peace alone without them then that doesn't sound much like ADHD as I know it at all. The drugs are meant to BRING peace, calmness and stability. Like someone else mentioned, there are other ADHD medications as well. Buproprion is pretty effective and is also a very mild anti-anxiety/anti-depression medication (but not an SSRI, it's an NDRI). It's never made me jittery and I specifically take it so that my heart rate doesn't spike as much as it would on ritalin or concerta.

Im pretty sure i have ADHD, this drug just might not be working quite properly. I do feel like "broken car that i have to manually start" vs "actually working car that just goes where i make it go" brain modes when im not medicated or the opposite. (also yeah im taking concerta. used to take ritalin lul)

Apparently, with Ritalin/Concerta, the bringing of "peace, calmness, and stability" stops after 3 years. It did for me. All that was left was the speed effect, which made everything worse. So I stopped. I feel better. Even the RSD (the main reason I was taking them in the first place), has improved. Not gone away, just improved.
