"i remember when i was 8 and put on glasses for the first time and was astounded that i could see each individual leaf. but i was more astounded that i had been living for years without that essential clarity. the first week taking adderall xr was like that. at once i had realized just how disabled i was-- but also how capable i could be. five months ago, i was on the brink of losing my retail job due to numerous register mistakes. after taking adderall my sales numbers are stellar, and i feel like i can go back to college again. only negative is the weight loss-- but since i was overweight anyway that side effect is just fine by me. insomnia is an issue, but not overly frequently. taking it immediately in the am solves it."
