(Literally for a while, my doctor asked how they were and I told her they made me feel like a 70's ballplayer. Then I had to explain that since what I got was green ....thankfully she has a sense of humor. ) When I started it I did an experiment. I've never been much of a hitter, never mind curves, any passably decent fastball is probably getting by me. So with some fresh meds, I headed to the batting cage. The ONLY difference was that I could now keep track of how many pitches I'd missed so I knew when to get more quarters ready. I never did any sprints or anything to see if it made me a faster runner. I'm still painfully slow. PED? I have doubts... |

Something way more accurate would be going to the batting cages after a night with little sleep and a hard days work when you are very tired. See how you do hitting then. Then take a couple pills wait a half hour and see how you hit after he pills give you way more energy and help you focus. Last edited by bnorth; 02-22-2021 at 06:45 AM. |

Work said I got several days worth of work done but was annoying as I wouldn't shut up. There's no way I could have kept that up for more than a couple days, since I'm not Ozzy I backed way off the coffee by day 3, and things were more normal. It did help me get more done, but mostly because I didn't get sidetracked by nearly everything. By the time I switched to the amphetamines I knew better. I've taken stuff for it long enough that I have had mornings like that with tiredness etc. I suppose if I was taking a bunch more it would help. The place I see it helping is in concentration. A hitter not distracted by the bikini girl in seat 5 row 10 and the fight in section 30. is likely to do a bit better. Likewise, if you pay more attention in team meetings where they're covering the opponents tendencies that's also a plus. But even that first day I probably couldn't have hit a fastball. What's even odder is that there are a lot of processing things that it does help while it doesn't help others. Like I still can't really even see a decent college fastball. I've been to the cage with and without, and anything above 80 I see it leave the machine, and see a white flash about halfway between. That's all I get medicated or not. But I thought that after years of industrial stuff I had progressive hearing loss. Not a lot of high sounds, and in places like restaurants I would get maybe 25% of a discussion at my table mixed with a bit from the tables around me. The ADD meds fixed that almost instantly. |
