First day on Elvanse 30mg

It took me three weeks to convince myself to start the medication—super anxious about it! 😬

I took my first dose about four hours ago, and I feel a bit on edge, hyper-aware of every sensation in my body. My mouth is quite dry, and I have a slight headache (though that could just be from my neck pain 🤦🏻‍♀️). Strangely enough, while I still feel anxious, my mind is incredibly quiet—I don’t even know how to explain it.

I’m off work today and had no plans to clean, yet somehow I just started, and now the house is spotless. Now I’m lying in bed, trying to relax. So far, so good!

That said, I’m avoiding checking my blood pressure (which already tends to be a bit high) because I don’t want to freak myself out 🤣. But my heart rate is normal, so I guess that’s reassuring.

Any other hypochondriacs here who procrastinated forever before starting? How was your first day?
