"Dopamine release from just doing mundane things" is absolutely normal, more so after a lifetime of not being able to simply Do The Thing™.
One is supposed to feel good doing "normal" things. Completing tasks should feel good.
There can be many variables at play: maybe your dosage could be lowered, maybe Adderall isn't ideal for you, or maybe you're simply adjusting to the medication the first few times you take it, and it won't feel the way afterwards.
But most importantly: yes, you're absolutely going to feel like you've got a superpower the first time you take it. The euphoria you feel from being able to simply do things the way neurotypical people can just get up and do them is very much a part of the ADHD experience.
Also, neurotypical people don't do mundane things on Adderall. That's not what makes them feel particularly good. Because for them, doing things without friction and climbing the mental wall first is the normal experience.
They don't feel happiness experiencing it for the first time in their lives when they take Adderall. They've had that ability all along.
TL; DR: you feel that dopamine release from doing mundane things on Adderall because you have ADHD.
Yes, that actually makes perfect sense :) I suppose it was just a bit stronger than I imagined. I know that chemically, it's analogous, but it felt like MDMA.
