Does anybody else when you take your meds WANT to study and do homework? Like I honestly want to, I actually enjoy doing it, and it feels good to be productive and actually be able to focus. Medication has been very helpful, I went to 6 missing assignments to none, of course I forgot about homework sometimes though.
