Anyone else get anxiety around taking meds?

I’ve been taking Elvanse for a while now but when I’m on them I feel like I’m doing something all the time.

Sounds great, right? I think I should be doing something and before the thought ends I’ve begun doing it. Then if I have no work to do the house gets tidied, chores get done and if there’s no chores to be done I start on something new.

The issue is it feels like it comes from compulsion. I feel like a robot that does things because it’s programmed to always be doing something.

Then each morning this manifests as anxiety and hesitation to take the pill. Since it lasts 12 hours if this lasts too long then I simply can’t take it without being up until 4am.

In the past couple days I’ve been back from holiday and when I think of taking the medication I get this sense of minor dread, sort of like the Sunday evening feeling knowing you have a long week ahead of you.

I mentioned this to the doctor and all she said was that it sounds like it’s working, which was a bummer, I was hoping she’d offer an alternative where I actually get a reward out of doing tasks.

Anyone else experience this? How’d you get over it? I’m starting to think I simply need to unthinkingly take it each morning and just deal with my feelings about it another way.
