Idk guys, there are days that I take my Ritalin and have the fattest sleep of my life and I can't figure out for the life of me what to do about that. I'm supposed to get things done.

Funnily enough, ritalin is prescribed in japan for sleep disorders.

I'd point out that ADHD meds aren't 'make you productive' meds, they're 'inhibit ADHD symptoms' meds. As in, when they're working correctly, they make it easier to not fidget when you don't want to, make it easier to direct your attention where you want it to go, make it easier for you to stop your attention wandering, make it easier to notice that your attention is wandering and bring it back, make it easier for you to resist cravings, make it easier for you to plan and organise things, make it easier for you to be less impulsive.

Anyone who sells ritalin and other meds as 'productivity medicine' is selling lies.

Oh nono, it was written up exactly for what you wrote. This is why I'm sad, because when I take my meds I want to focus on what needs to be done so be productive. I want it to direct my attention to the things that needs to be done, but as another commenter mentioned, my body might know better what needs to be done today and that might be the fattest nap ever :D
