They are probably still working, but you’ll never get the same rush of excitement/euphoria that you felt in the first few months. The euphoria is a negative side effect in my opinion. That’s what leads to abuse and addiction. Don’t chase it! I’m sure you’ve heard all this before, but make sure you’re getting enough sleep and exercise. Also, avoid acidic drinks in the morning like coffee and OJ when taking your medication. The acid can break down some of the medication before your body has a chance to absorb it. |

Yeah that's so not what I'm talking about.
When they worked, I was able to practice art, take regular showers, get chores done and stay focused without getting bored and compulsive. It doesn't help with any of those anymore. I can't use it to draw, can't take regular showers, can't get chores done even if they're staring me in the face, and boy do I get extremely, painfully bored all the time. And this happens whether I am on or off stimulants.
Again, they used to work. That is, actually treat the ADHD. And now they don't.
This has nothing to do with euphoria.
