Yes, this! I'm glad you're finding the meds helpful, IZ. The reduction in chatter and getting to sleep easier/earlier are pretty fantastic and were totally unexpected for me.
I usually feel that when the meds help you in ways you didn't expect, then that's a sign that they're a useful treatment (not a placebo). When I go looking, I often find that those unexpected benefits were the reduction of symptoms that aren't often discussed, so I didn't know they were symptoms. It has worked that way for me with both bipolar and ADD meds.
