Whatever I'm doing when the meds kick in is what I will stay doing

1st panel: Anakin saying, "We took the ADHD meds so we can focus."
2nd: Padme happily responding, "I'm excited to catch up on all of these neglected responsibilities."
3rd: Anakin with a sinister look saying nothing.
4th: Padme with a troubled expression, saying, "We're going to focus on responsibilities, right?"
Nope, time to play Animal Crossing obsessively until my medication wears off.
^send^ ^help^
That used to happen to me. Med switch addressed that.
Eh... Part of it is that I'm kinda being in a rut right now. I've found that if I manage to catch myself before I fall into my daily "rut" then it works pretty well, but if I don't, then I'll be completely useless. Something about games like Animal Crossing and The Sims makes them hyper addictive when I'm on my medication yet borderline unplayable for me when I'm not.
How so? What was the change and how did it affect you?
Tried methylphenidate and it was like redlining an engine while in neutral. Switching to the Adderall family gave me useful energy I could direct. Stimulants are no longer worth the side effects for me, but they worked for several years.
Wish I was able to enjoy any game for more than 30 minutes before getting bored out of my mind
Try factorio. It's fucking crack.
any game excluding Factorio lol, racked up quite a lot of hours there
