I don't know if I'm highly intelligent. I'd like to think so but I also feel like I'm really good at cheating the system. I can learn the basics of stuff really fast and then bullshit through while I slowly pick up more advanced things.
I've tried adderall but it almost became a game to see if I could beat it. I would procrastinate even more than normal. Sometimes just stating at a wall for hours at a time
I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago. So far I've trialled ritalin and dexedrine.
Ritalin works very well if I have a clear task.
Dexedrine made me tired, confused and aggressive.
The point is: different drugs work differently for different people. Trial different ones. There are even drugs that have non-stimulant modes of action now.
