Did meds change how you feel boredom? Mine went from painful to just kind of nothing.

Boredom can feel less like a painful itch after ADHD medication, including a shift from desperate restlessness to something closer to ordinary dullness. ADHD is associated with difficulty sustaining attention on low-stimulation tasks, so staying with uninteresting work can be harder and boredom can feel physically uncomfortable. When medication makes it easier to remain with a task, that painful quality may ease. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.

Boredom used to make me feel itchy and desperate. On meds it is more like, okay, this task is dull, and I can still sit with it. That felt empty at first and I worried the spark was gone. I told my prescriber I was not sure I liked the quiet. They did not say boredom is supposed to feel like nothing. This is only what happened to me.
