overstimulated

i am prescribed a low dose of adderall and before this month, i would rarely take it. i was convinced i shouldn’t need it and that i shouldn’t get used to having it, so i’d use it sparingly. only if i really needed to focus for whatever reason. but recently i’ve been taking my low dose every day and i’ve never felt so accomplished. but BOY am i tired. all this intense focus is really wearing me out. and i’m not sure i’m sleeping very deeply either. but, to be fair, i have a very tiresome occupation and my cats like to wake me up at 3, 4 and 5 in the morning with their antics.
