I'm on a slightly higher dose of Concerta now, & it does seem to be helping with my problem where I get nothing done at work. So that's probably good.

It's not a huge change but I certainly felt it wear off more dramatically last night. Which isn't all bad. It's just a little weird to have a point in the evening where your brain suddenly switches what it even means to focus on something.

Suddenly last night I had several trains of thought going instead of one.

It's so funny because I worry about asking for higher dose ADHD meds because I could be perceived as "drug seeking", but after literally 8 years or something of seeing the same psychiatrist & usually agreeing during my check-ups "yeah, no reason to change the meds" (because for long stretches of time there isn't any reason), I doubt my psychiatrist is going to perceive me that way.

It sucks though that one of my meds is a controlled substance where people might think that you want it too much.

It's hard to navigate medical care when *wanting* a treatment that helps you could be used as a reason why you shouldn't get it.

Of all the reasons to eliminate the state, the US healthcare system stands front and center. Fuck all these people.
