      I think it might be - people who have normal energy/concentration levels get long COVID brain fog and then start wondering if it’s a focus issue. I got dx’d with attention deficit issues a few years back but it really got bad after I got COVID. I definitely want to get back on a stimulant so I can function better but I’m making do with Wellbutrin b/c by the time I went to the doctor the shortage had already happened and it helps with my mild depression anyways.

        huh, apparently it goes straight from “therapeutic dose” to “feel like shit” dose with no “fun times” dose in between like amphetamines have, probably a factor there
