This is WICKED hard to explain - and everyone I've tried to explain this to always thinks I'm crazy, haha. I don't remember the name of the medication I'm taking now (it starts with a V--- viyonase or something?) but I'm not sure it matters because the last one I was on years ago had the same effect on me.

Ok, so, the most I can articulate this feeling is like.. I become almost overwhelmed with a desire to have things organized. I mean, I pretty much enjoy it. It's kind of a kick in the butt. It's not "overwhelmed" to the point of giving me anxiety or anything, but it's just -- for example, I just took my pill a little while ago, and (I'm a student) I have a big urge to organize my binder, or do my homework and write everything out very neatly. Or do a paper. Or clean a lot. It's weird right?? I guess another way to describe it is it makes me want to accomplish things?

I really don't know how else to explain it. But what I've also noticed is, it'll come in like "highs" and I'll have mini-crashes in between where I'm like "what am I doing? I don't feel like doing this homework right now" or something, and then a minute later its back.

Thank you guys!
