The Adderall Experience
Have you ever been in a warm snowstorm?
The air is still and the thick snowfall absorbs all acoustics. As the snowflakes land on your head you feel the movement of hair from the micro-gram particles that seem to virtually continue their fall through your body all the way to the souls of your feet. Unlike the cold of a humid Eastern fall, the often arid Western snowstorms provide a dreamlike experience where temperature doesn’t seem to be an issue. Standing in the middle of a field during a thick snowfall is nothing less than experiencing the core of a billowing and windless dream cloud.
About 30-40 minutes after taking an Adderall my head feels like it is being snowed on. The curtain of thick pollution I always awaken with in the morning seems to slowly melt away in cascades of warm, cerebral snow. For about five minutes my mind feels like it is waking up, much like the tingling sensation when a limb recovers blood flow after a restriction. With clarity comes hope, and with hope my day is no longer foreboded, but anticipated.
The snowstorm only lasts for a few minutes, but the mental clarity seems to last most of the working day. Currently I’m taking 20mg. Tomorrow will be my first day back at the office since beginning the Adderall. That will be my litmus test.
