I don’t miss the anxiety but damn I do miss the productivity

For me the productivity, unmedicated, is sporadic. Even in a stressful environment, once the novelty goes I lose my momentum

I was the same when I was unmedicated. I'd get bouts of extreme motivation to get things done that could last from an hour to a few days.

Now that I'm medicated I can remain on task and have similar levels of productivity daily. My biggest break through once I was medicated though was keeping myself organized. I make task lists and spreadsheets for everything.
