To add to my above post:
I had a heck of a fun time lecturing today. This is the first lecture I taught since my Vyvanse dose was raised from 50mg to 70mg per day. I certainly felt a difference and my performance was extremely strong today.
I covered an entire chapter of Calculus material in 50 minutes, the chapter having six sections. That is a lot of material. At one point I said to myself while writing maniacally at the chalkboard "Jesus Christ. I bet the students can tell I am high on something! I am literally digging into the chalkboard, my sentances are abnormally long and precise at the same time, and to top it off, no one should have this much energy at 8:00 am". Never the less, the students seemed to understand the material well, and when I held office hours later, the students that came to see me really seemed to understand some of the subtle parts of the material I covered well.
Overall, it has been a great day. Being on Amphetamines is fun, but seeing your students succeed and catch onto a tough topic is even more exhilarating.
I think this topic is great and people should bump (no pun intended) anytime they are on a pharmaceutical drug, be it stimulant, depressant (benzo/barb), antipsychotic (if you are amongst us unlucky members of the population...), or opioid (even though we have our own forum for that...).
Currently On:
- 70mg Vyvanse (dextroamphetamine pro drug) at 6:00 am
- 25mg Vyvanse at 12:45 pm
- 2mg Suboxone (opioid called buprenorphine) at 1:00 pm
- Psychiatric medications that I don't 'feel' but I know are doing their job and doing it well.
