Any extra good effects

[Anotheronenamed]

Just wondering if anyone has had effects that are an unexpected bonus, such as being more able to declutter or increased motivation for certain things?

I think I'm Adhd or similar and I procrastinate on everything and can't get rid of stuff. I'd love it if this helped with that too. Probably wishful thinking but one can hope! I've seen people saying their brain felt calmer etc which is a nice side effect. What are your unexpected but welcome side effects?

All desire for alcohol has left me.

@LovelaceBiggWither I wish that was a problem for me but I've been able to take or leave alcohol for decades. If only food had been the same 😂

I have ADHD (undiagnosed) and I have been about a million times more productive- I suffer badly with overwhelm and decision paralysis when looking at a to-do list, and end up not doing anything. Since being on MJ I can just crack on.

Although honestly I think that is partly due to the fact that I am no longer thinking about food every five mins, rather than the medication itself changing anything inside me.

That's great to know. Hopefully something to look forward to. I've done nothing since starting MJ because I'm always on here reading about it 😂

Tbh it made me so tired I lacked the motivation to do anything much.

I know this is going to sound daft.....
But I've stopped biting my nails. I know it's a vile habit but since I got to 5mg I realise that I have stopped. I'm 42 and have never managed it.

Have seen some posts online about it stopping the urge for smoking

This is exactly my experience too. I'm only 10 days in but hope it continues!
For me it's a break from the food noise, because I'm not thinking/planning or eating all the time I have more mental space.

I'm ASD dx, suspected un-dx ADHD.

Into week 3 and I have been decluttering but didn't connect it to the MJ! I suddenly don't want anything anymore - no clinging onto stuff - very weird but promising (unfortunately I'm still jumping between activities with little ability to focus on one thing at a time).

Physically, I'm feeling much more 'wanting to be active' too - stood in the garden this morning and did some moving around with a 10kg kettlebell (I have no idea what to do with it, must work out something proper as it's been a doorstop for at least the last 5 years!)

Yep! Decluttering and also disinterest in buying things. Haven’t had take out or bought anything shopping wise in weeks. Who am I? 😂
