I have started on Ritalin in my 30's.

I have to say the first time I took I suddenly felt very calm. Noises from neighboring apartments, dogs barking, children outside playing ceased to be annoying distractions.

I took 5mg to be precautious. And spent hours doing an overdue cleaning my room / apartment. And i felt ok doing it when normally i'd feel irritated. Normally i'd have trouble deciding where to start this, but with this i just started.

I started properly paying bills. To be clear i had the money to pay these bills. But i would always tend to leave them until I was getting notices to remind me.

Vyvanse was interesting though. It made me a lot more assertive, when most people would describe me as the opposite. I liked that but it was double edged sword. I stopped because I was working as sales assistant in a shop and I found I was getting just a bit too angry at belligerent customers.
