Does anyone else feel like time finally moves at a normal speed on stimulants?

Some people notice that time feels more even, or closer to a usual pace, after starting a stimulant. That does not mean the medicine has been shown to reset an internal clock in a fully mapped way. ADHD is linked in research and clinical writing with difficulties in estimating, tracking, and using time, including the sense that hours disappear during inattention. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.

Different for me. Time still jumps if I miss a dose, but on meds it does not feel normal so much as slower, which I did not love. Meetings feel longer. I still run late. I told my prescriber I was not sure I liked how the day felt even though I was getting more done. They did not say everyone feels this. Just my story.

I used to lose whole afternoons and then panic at 6pm. After I started a stimulant, I can actually tell when it is 2 o'clock. It felt weird at first, like the day had more hours in it. I do not know if that is the meds changing time or just me not disappearing into my phone for three hours. I mentioned it at a follow-up because I was not sure if it was a good sign. This is only my experience, not something I would expect everyone to feel.
