(At ~63% of full dosage, and 6 days after starting the Bright Mind natural Adderall alternativee.

OK, so it’s been almost an hour since I took my morning Adderall, and I feel “buzzy” and energized. At this point, there is no doubt that my body is getting markedly less of The Poison than normal. Yes, I still have a ways to go, but new are entering…
