I think that's a great practice and not uncommon.

You should have started with just 5mg. 30mg is a lot for an initial dosage.

Great that an alternative seems to be working for you though.

Yes, Safari is a good deal...they also have a nice trial period which requires a simple signup/no payment.

Thanks Dang for posting the links -- interesting!

I agree in terms of the economics of it for many readers at least. I buy a lot of books. I would buy a lot more e-books I think if prices were reasonable i.e sub $5, vs. usually being as much a print copy. I also gift many books. I recently downloaded 200+ books via b-ok.org...most of which I certainly wouldn't have bought and probably half of which I won't open for years if ever. Two months later, though, a couple of the books I enjoyed that I've ordered new copies to be sent as gifts as friends.

I would be a good candidate for something like Kindle Unlimited, but most of the books I'm interested in aren't available there. At least half the books I downloaded (many academic as well as poetry and other books) are not available on Kindle Unlimited.

Subscription music aggregators seem to have a pretty decently comprehensive offering in a way that the book, news, and movie aggregators don't.

It would be a little weird, but if there was an app where I could read any book but every 20th page or so was some full page ad...I could live with that (as long as it wasn't a video or something). Not sure if that kind of a model could work in terms of the economics for writers -- but it's of course working for news mostly and for some film sites like Tubi and Pluto.

Have you checked Scribd? They might have some of those that Kindle Unlimited doesn't.

One other thought. Check the manufacturer of your Adderall. The "potency" can vary significantly between different manufacturers.

This exactly. I had to switch pharmacies from Walgreens to another local chain because of this. All of a sudden it seemed like the medication wasn’t working at all. One day I was out and had to use my “backup” meds which were a few months old and I noticed they looked slightly different. Taking them was like the first time I ever took Adderall, literally felt like my heart was going to explode.

I’d suggest filling your next prescription somewhere else and see if that makes a difference. Not just a different location, but a different pharmacy entirely.

Not sure...so just throwing out ideas here. Perhaps try meditation for 20 minutes or so a day and twice daily exercise to help too. Maybe go off the Adderall for a week or two...try to step up the meditation/exercise (maybe coffee too)...then try the Adderall again? Or take it less frequently, like 4 days a week?

I also use Epic -- Epic is a great Chrome alternative...it takes a little getting used to, but it's fast & private.

skiplagged.com is really cool too.

So many of these old textbooks are much clearer than ones of today. And they're no-nonsense, "What one fool can learn, another can learn."
