After I stopped, I was more hyperactive and less focused... Yet the hyperactivity compensated for the "less focused" part, and I finished a week's work in a day.
That's my experience with meds so far. They completely eliminate my anxiety and make me feel in control of my emotions. Yet they make me less productive than when I'm in a hyperactive rush (even if my focus is reduced).
So for now I'm just going to embrace my inconsistency (in terms of emotions, energy, and focus) because I think I'm way worse without it. Establishing a routine helps me cope much better - I feel waking up early and having a good morning dictates how productive my day will be.
On meds, I finally felt in control of my life and energy. But it also felt bland, boring. I didn't feel anything. I had no anxiety to push me to go the extra mile. My personality & cheeriness were nonexistent. And I was, overall, simply less productive.
Not doing that again.
