Mcdonald's chicken selects! And by extension the snack wraps. Also their very limited basket of fries. I feel like I might be the only person who even remembers it.

I'm on adderall so my experiences may be different. The super human rush lasted about two weeks for me until my body settled into it. I'm on 10mg a day, but my doctor prefers a two day a week "drug holiday" so I don't develop a tolerance.

I slept better the first few weeks because I was exhausted as it wore off from actually doing things. I started to sleep poorly again after that, but I'm now taking 50mg of trazedone a night and sleep like a champ. If you frequently take melatonin your body doesn't respond to it as well. I was taking 10mg a night before my doctor recommended trazedone.

My only side effect is very slight tremors in my hands, but they lessen over the day. The focus is still there, but I definitely have to put forth more conscious effort a few months in. I'm on anti depressants as well so my genitals gave up years ago. I had serious temper problems which are VERY reduced.

My advice: take it easy! You can burn out a little trying to do all the things right now. Get a task app, put reasonable chores or goals on a schedule. Try and use your brains new reward system to build healthy habits. You can actually have habits now! Crossing things off a list will actually feel amazing. When the meds effects start to chill out, you'll be able to lean into your little routine and keep getting things accomplished.

Very happy for you- that holy shit I'm functional now feeling is so awesome. DM me if you need anything! πŸ’“

Looks amazing. Cook on the pork looks perfect!

I feel like the Google maps algorithm has gotten worse over the last year or so. Maybe it's the Android auto interfacing with my car, but it sends me on weird routes sometimes even with a similar eta. I think it might be related to the eco settings but man is it annoying.

Let me know if you ever find a good nosleep alternative!

I had a similar experience and just started blocking all the meme instances. Much better so far!

I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.
