#Also Google tells me this is called Ritalin but like my prescription is for methylphenidate but that doesn't really roll off the tongue

I started Ritalin today and I don't know if it's because I simultaneously didn't take atomoxetine this morning (switched off them after 3 ish weeks because they were making me miserable) and thusly I'm not experiencing the adverse side effect of those, but I feel so much better already! I started feeling so much more alert and awake very soon after taking my Ritalin than I have in ages (like for a little while there I was not tired AT ALL which. does not happen to me. ever) and I immediately got up to do the dishes and have been engaging in a hobby with pretty solid focus since. And again I don't know how much of this is the addition of new meds vs removal of the other (which was causing extreme brain fog - trouble focusing, thinking, speaking, doing anything, as well as making me super irritable), but I feel so much better today than I have in almost a month. And I'm pretty sure the new meds are definitely having an effect but, and I'm trying not to get too excited just in case, hell yeah!!
