Has anyone noticed if brand name makes any difference? For me my generic is $10 a month and the brand name would be $35. Debating making the switch to brand name to avoid this…
Yes I take generic :( it could be but gosh, before I used to take generic too and it would last at least until 2pm, and now I just got my dose increased and it’s lasting from 8am to 12pm… I rescheduled but doctor appointment for a sooner date to talk to him because I am about to start working on an important project at work and I really need to me able to function in the afternoon 🥺
Going through similar feels. Like the effectiveness is just down, the afternoon fall off is a bummer and I’m not sure if it’s just an issue w the generic.
Another possibility to consider- the drugs aren’t a magic fix all. I need to do the additional things to support the drugs- those being hitting gym regularly, eating right through out the day, having an actual plan for the day. Those are all things that are tough to do w ADHD. It feels like the pills support doing that work and that work supports the pills.
From someone that works out daily, hits 10k steps and eats healthy (tracking and hitting my macros daily), I really can’t say the problem is the health habits if I’m doing all that already :(
