> If anything it has the effect of feeling that nothing is “too hard” for me and that I am not “too dumb to learn or do X”.

This is a good way to put it. Prior to starting medication (vyvanse specifically, although I tried concerta) initiating a task or trying to learn something was, most of the time, "too hard" so I spun my wheels doing random stuff and occasionally doing just enough work to keep myself employed. Now, nothing is "too hard" because it's possible for me to get over the activation barrier and start doing the thing.

Weird, my BP and HR lowered on lisdexamfetamine, and I sleep like a baby. It's true meds affect people in different ways.
