When I take my Dexedrine, they DO help with my ADHD symptoms... but there seems to be a catch: It only seems to work when I'm alone and doing something with active mental effort involved with no external stimuli. If there are for instance, other people around to aggravate or overwhelm me, or if I get into any conflict at all or anything makes me feel upset.... all of a sudden the helpful effects of the medications goes away and I just go into this hyper-aware dysphoria where I feel upset and just agitable until I can get several hours alone and maybe it'll work right again but half the time this dysphoria lasts until the medication wears off at night. This is upsetting because this med has changed my life for the better in many ways but I feel like I cannot be around other people when I'm on it. Does anybody else experience this, is there anything I could take with it to help with this?
