It's 10 AM and I did not feel it kick in physically like I did yesterday.
I was composing though and did quite a lot of learning and composing in a short time so I guess it did kick in somewhere there. But nothing like yesterday. To be fair, yesterday I had better conditions to observe the feeling. There was no music and something that interesting in front of me.
The important part is 2 days from now. I need to give feedback about the Ritalin to my neurologist. Without a proper one I would not get a adjusted treatment and slip into daily routine.
To be more precise - I'm not sure that the Ritalin is working beyond placebo and I'm not sure if I need to switch meds.
To conclude the last 2 weeks - I had a 40mg dose and it worked when I was weakened by the flu but not so much when I was healthy.
On the 60mg I felt the effect (who wouldn't) but i'm not sure if it works all 8 hours.
I was able to procrastinate easily and I did wonder off in a meeting after approx 15 minutes. Maybe it took longer then before but not dramatically.
I do feel a change in my behavior and was able to accomplish few tasks but I'm not sure if should attribute this to placebo, the sense of urgency in those tasks or to medicine.
Conclusion - no conclusion. I feel a bit confused and not sure about what I have experienced. I guess that my experience is 100% standard and not unique. In that case the doctor will know what to do.
I will see how this day goes and continue logging until the doctor meeting.
5 hours in - the day is bust, when I get interrupted by off work stuff every 2 minutes I cannot maintain a positive attitude and let it go. Same goes if I don't have a well defined task at hand or the environment does not fit well for work.
Damn.
Conclusion - the meds are definitely working but not entirely in a way that I would expect.
