Sorry for the wall of text, but if you want to participate in this market I recommend reading through this description. I will also answer almost any questions you may have in the comments.

I am 32 years old and my life is a mess in many ways. I have lots of interests, capabilities, possibilities and a mind full of shenanigans but, since early adulthood, I have been unable to actualize most of my effort into things I have otherwise had the will and energy for. For the last several years I have been unable to work or study, and stuck in a limbo between dismissive doctors and various levels of desperate attempts at self-medication and therapy, trying to get some sort of accurate diagnosis and/or treatment for my mental health.

Yesterday I finally got diagnosed with ADHD. I have started on Methylphenidate (Concerta 18mg, likely upped to 36mg within the month) this morning. Will I deem that my life is significanly altered for the better within the first month of being medicated?

Ultimately the resolution will come down to vibes. I will estimate the effect on several fronts:

• Productivity (currently almost nonexistent)

• Social energy (currently I am very fond of socializing but need to spend a day or two alone resetting my mental after even a very pleasant time spent in company. I have also, for years, been unable to properly keep up with friends and acquaintances via phone/messages/discord/etc)

• Personal relationships (I currently somewhat involuntarily neglect my family, my girlfriend and my cat, wasting my time instead of spending it with them)

• Ability to organize and take care of my apartment and myself (currently very challenging aside from a base level personal hygiene and presentability)

• Rest (I sleep well but I have N24 aka Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder which complicates literally every part of my life to some extent. ADHD medicine may help with both the rhythm itself, and the ability to cope with the difficulties irregular sleep introduces)

• Eating (currently/recently I stress eat a bit excessively)

• Hobbies (I often postpone or skip participating in my hobbies due to low energy/inability to get started with anything)

• TRUMP CARD: Substance abuse (I vape weed almost daily and have a nicotine (pouch) addiction. I would like to quit habitually using both. I have never had a problem with other substances, but if there is even a hint of developing one for any other recreational drug (including methylphenidate itself), this market will instantly resolve NO).

If the majority of these metrics see a significant improvement within a month, or 3+ of them become de facto non-issues, I will resolve YES.

If there is no significant improvement on the majority of them, or 3+ of the issues worsen, I will resolve NO

If the results are somewhere in between, so that the overall vibe I have is that my life has improved, but not significantly, I will resolve to a percentage between 50 and 75.

My doctor did hint (according to my own research, I tend to agree) that Elvanse (Vyvanse; Lisdexamphetamine) may be better suited for me than Methylphenidate, but due to common practice in my country it is almost always required to try Methylphenidate first before Amphetamine-derivatives. In case my doctor suggests I switch to Elvanse within a month (I estimate a 25-30% chance of this), I will resolve this market to N/A and recreate it for that drug.
