On medication
It’s funny. Most of the time, you can’t really “feel” the primary effects of a brain-targeted medication. The only way you can really tell it’s working is to “notice” its effects. At the end of the day, you notice that you got a lot more done than you have in a long time, but you didn’t notice this before. Or you notice that you just did something really nice, or you just interacted with someone very cheerfully, where you hadn’t done that in a long time. This is really the only way you can tell that medication is working, most of the time.
