> one month in is way too early to know if the change is long-term positive. This is especially true with stimulant medications.
Agree. It's important to remind people that the effects of the first few weeks aren't like the effects for the next 10-50 years.
It's especially concerning when people say the meds give them "more energy to do things" because that's more of a side effect that goes away after a while. The focus-enhancing effect is separate from the energizing/euphoric side effect that people experience in the first few weeks.
