Ritalin adhd vs not having adhd
I’m a teenager 15years old, I used to see a psychologist but then stopped, I recently started seeing one again and they want to look into me having adhd and anxiety I’ve only gone to this psychologist once and it was very different to my old one where we talked about a lot of different stuff. Someone gave me a 40mg Vyvanse which I took, I felt very locked in with my school work and it caused my maladaptive daydreaming to stop and I was just strictly focused on what I was doing in the moment I was able to work very well I felt like I wanted to work and this sense of calmness overcame me and I felt utterly contempt with myself, after I took it I told the guy who gave me it to never give me one again because I’ve heard of the negative effects of taking theses meds if you don’t have adhd I took fair bit of Ritalin and felt something quite similar but in a different setting I was able to sit on a call with my friends for hours talking about Jack shit for hours and felt very interested in the conversations something I never enjoy doing
I’m wondering if these effects more align with having adhd or not having it.
I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to say I have adhd because I liked how the meds felt or anything like that and I hope no one takes offence to this question and I’m sorry in advance if this is inappropriate.
I’m just wondering if these symptoms are common with not having adhd or more aligned with having adhd.
