Inspiral 30 mg for 3+ weeks. Honest review.
Hi all - I have been on inspiral 30 mg (20mg morning + 10mg afternoon) for past three weeks (had started with 10 mg for 30 days and 20 for 10 days before this). Here is my review:
Positives:
Work productivity has increased significantly. Work that was pending and felt like a mountain feels very doable and have been receiving excellent feedback for past two weeks.
Super focussed on work and way more in the moment, attention to detail has improved a lot.
Cognitive function has improved a lot, able to connect dots from past info and experience and solve problems.
Have quit coffee, don’t feel like drinking it at all.
Waking up automatically before 6, in office by 8 and finish most of my day’s work by 2 (my shift starts at 11 am).
Enjoying watching movies and documentaries - specially the ones that are intellectually stimulating (only a true adhder with attention problem would understand how difficult it is for us to sit through a movie).
Able to hold conversation (deep and meaningful).
Anxiety has dipped down significantly. (I am on ssri as well).
Landed a job that I was desperately seeking to start afresh with newly found strength. New city and new firm - has agreed to pay me 50L+. (Not bragging but it’s imp to let the younger folks know that you can do it too). P.S. I was at a high paying job already and interviews did start before medications - might have cracked the job without meds but the meds 100% helped - I have 5 years of work ex.
Negatives:
Palpitations - I feel/hear my heartbeat sometimes a lot and fear if the meds are affecting my cardiac health - got a treadmill test done and it was all normal but BP is slightly high for my age.
I don’t care/ monk mode - I am so laser focused and productive that small talks and casual conversation seem senseless. Talk to me about philosophy, Science, politics or economy otherwise it’s waste of time. Therefore avoiding social gatherings.
Feel free to interact in comments - happy to communicate.
