    Hahaha yeah I tell my psych nurse that it helps me manage the task I’m doing really well - but it does NOT keep me on task.

    Boring task I don’t want to do is still boring task I don’t want to do.

      I usually describe the effects of the escitalopram I take as not really directly making me “feel better”, but mellowing out the uncontrollable emotional spikes enough that I can actually work on anxiety management skills. So far Vyvanse has worked for me in similar ways, in that I can actually focus on things now, but I’m also about 30 years late at developing proper task management skills.
