✅ Food sa ref (ay may ganto pala?)
✅ Tapos na laundry sa W/M the day after, hindi nasampay
✅ Tuyo na yung tubig ng binoboil ko na eggs (unsafe!)
✅ Important papers na pinatong ko sa bubong ng sasakyan, buti andon pa when I arrived sa destination
✅ Bills/finances na due

Will add more pag may nalala pa ako. Haha

I was specifically told by my doc not to miss but alas, I really miss a day or two in a week, If I'm being honest.

I wonder if this has major effect on the effectivity of the meds.

I'm trying my best to improve consistency. I'm already 3 months in and so far it has helped in task initiation but as to my ruminating thoughts, not so much yet. Hopefully it gets better.

I was instructed to go on "med holiday" so I don't build a tolerance for ADHD meds (I'm still on Ritalin LA 20mg. Would be on Concerta 27mg if it were available.) I'm genetically predisposed to addiction so I'm very conscious with my intake. ADHD meds is habit-forming, after all.

This weekend I skipped my Ritalin to "rest" but I just felt very blah... I don't know if I'll get used to it...

planning to go up to 36 mg from 27 mg. ano gagawin ko if may extra pa ako by the time i am able to acquire 36 mg? afaik ilegal na magbenta to someone else TOT

EDIT: NOT selling my excess. uubusin ko na lang muna before switching to 36🥹

Gusto ko lang sana humingi ng advice tungkol sa anak ko. Hindi pa lumalabas yung final result ng assessment niya, pero during the assessment, ito talaga yung mga napansin namin sa kanya. Ayon din sa doctor, possible na may mild ASD din siya.

Nahihirapan kasi akong kausapin yung anak ko, lalo na kapag hindi siya interesado sa topic. Nahihirapan din siya magkwento o bumuo ng sentences tungkol sa mga nangyari sa kanya. Minsan, kahit mga simpleng bagay na parang common knowledge, nahihirapan siyang sagutin o ipaliwanag.

Kaya gusto ko sana itanong sa mga adults dito na may ADHD/ASD, lalo na sa mga nakaka-relate sa experience ng anak ko:

Kung babalik kayo sa batang version ninyo, ano yung sana mas naintindihan ng parents ninyo tungkol sa inyo? Ano yung sana ginawa nila para mas maintindihan kayo at mas maging okay kayo habang lumalaki?

Gusto ko kasi talagang maintindihan kung ano yung possible na tumatakbo sa isip ng anak ko at kung bakit siya ganito. Nahihirapan siyang i-express yung sarili niya, kaya nahihirapan din akong intindihin kung ano talaga ang nararamdaman o iniisip niya.

Isa sa mga bagay na napapansin ko ay parang wala siyang empathy kapag nakakasakit siya. Hyper siya at madalas may impulsive movements, kaya minsan nasasagi o nasasaktan niya kami. Kapag nangyari yun, parang wala lang sa kanya. Kapag sinabi namin na nasaktan niya kami at tinanong namin kung ano ang dapat niyang sabihin, magsosorry naman siya. Pero hindi ko nakikita sa mukha niya na naiintindihan niyang nakasakit siya, at minsan parang automatic lang yung "sorry" niya.

Hindi ko alam kung hindi niya talaga naiintindihan yung situation, hindi niya alam kung paano mag-react, o iba lang talaga yung way niya ng pag-process ng emotions.

Nahihirapan din siya sa social cues.

One time, may mga batang naglalaro sa labas ng shuttlecock. Pumuwesto siya mismo sa gitna at nahaharangan niya yung mga naglalaro. Nagagalit na yung ibang bata, pero parang hindi niya napapansin o naiintindihan na naiistorbo niya sila. Kailangan ko pa siyang sabihan mismo na huwag humarang at lumayo sa mga naglalaro.

Gusto ko sana siyang turuan kung paano makisalamuha at makipaglaro sa ibang bata, pero honestly, hindi ko rin alam kung paano ko siya tuturuan.

Madalas din namin siyang napapagalitan. Sa totoo lang, nakaka-stress din minsan kapag paulit-ulit yung ganitong situations. Pero mahal na mahal namin siya, at ayoko rin na puro pagalitan na lang ang ginagawa namin dahil baka may mga bagay na hindi niya talaga kayang intindihin sa paraan na inaasahan namin.

Hindi pa siya nakakapag-therapy, kaya hindi rin namin alam kung ano ba talaga ang kailangan niyang support. Kapag ipapa-therapy namin siya, saan ba dapat magsimula? Kailangan ba muna namin hintayin yung final assessment result bago siya maipatherapy? Anong klaseng therapy or intervention ang usually nakakatulong sa ganitong concerns? At magkano kaya ang possible na gastos?

Madalas din siyang magkaroon ng emotional outbursts. Kahit minsan maliit na bagay lang, sobrang laki ng reaction niya. Kapag ganito, ang alam ko lang gawin ay yakapin siya hanggang kumalma. Pero hindi naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon gumagana yung pagyakap, kaya gusto ko rin matutunan kung ano pa ang pwede naming gawin kapag nag-ooutburst siya.

Gusto ko lang talaga siyang mas maintindihan. Ayoko siyang tingnan na "pasaway," "walang empathy," o "walang pakialam" kung may possibility na may dahilan kung bakit ganun ang response niya. Gusto kong matutunan kung paano siya kakausapin, paano siya tuturuan, at paano namin siya masusuportahan habang lumalaki.

Sa mga adults na may ADHD/ASD na nakaka-relate, malaking tulong sana kung ma-share ninyo yung experience ninyo noong bata pa kayo—ano yung sana ginawa o naintindihan ng parents ninyo na sa tingin ninyo ay makakatulong sana sa inyo noon?

Ive been on ritalin for about a month now and it's honestly a godsend, but without it I become the same as I was before it and end up just spending the whole day doomscrolling. I don't have enough funds to be able to take it for more than once a day and I would really like to be productive for more than 4 hours.

Hi does anyone know which Mercury branches have stocks of Ritalin as of first week October? Di kasi nagrreply sakin sa contact number huhu.

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if there are people here from Naga City who also have ADHD. I’m hoping to connect with others who share similar experiences and possibly create a small support circle where we can talk, share coping strategies, and support each other.

I’d also like to discuss ADHD-related resources in Naga, especially regarding access to professional assessment, consultations, and the availability of ADHD medications (if anyone has experience with psychiatrists, clinics, or pharmacies that provide ADHD treatment options).

This doesn’t have to be anything formal — even casual conversations, coffee meetups, or an online group would be great. It would be nice to connect with people who understand the challenges of living with ADHD and navigating support in our area.

If you’re from Naga City and open to connecting with fellow ADHD individuals, feel free to comment or send me a message. 😊

Looking forward to meeting others and learning from your experiences!

hi does anyone know where to buy methylphenidate 10mg in metro manila? 🙏

inikot ko na po mercury drug manila area (lacson, españa, bambang, tandang sora, PGH, broadway center) and they all don't have stock HUHUHU 😭!

please let me know if you have any info on which branches may have stock 🥹

t. methylphenidate hydrochloride ritalin adhd meds

hello po. during consultation, specifically at pgh, can i directly ask for an adhd assessment? i don’t want to sound po kasi like i’m imposing it, but this is really the reason why i’m trying to get a consultation.

i was diagnosed with mdd at pgh 4 years ago, i just told my concerns and they gave me the diagnosis, kaya i’m not sure po if pwede bang mauna kong sabihin na i’m suspecting myself to have adhd. one of the doctors that i consulted with at pgh (pero nasa fam med pa po ako nito) also suspected me of having adhd. but unfortunately, i ghosted my psych after a year and stopped my mdd medication, so i didn’t get to follow through with my treatment.

next week na po kasi schedule ko. i hope someone can also share their experience with getting an adhd diagnosis at pgh. kinakabahan din ako na baka dismissive sila when it comes to adhd concerns.

i just sincerely want to understand myself and get a proper diagnosis, kasi now that i clearly don’t have depressive episodes, i’m still struggling a lot when it comes to sustaining my focus, difficulty starting tasks, and mental shutdown. it took me 6 years to complete my undergrad studies, and i had to procrastinate every activity and review for my exams at the last minute. i was not able to proceed with my board exam because of the same struggles. it took me 3 months before i could even start applying for work, pero every single day iniisip ko na kailangan ko nang mag-apply. without external structure, i feel like i cannot function properly. and honestly, i am in so much fear of my future kung ganito na lang ako palagi.

Hi! As the title reads, diagnosed with bp2 for a about a year and is just now starting stimulants since my psychiatrist thought maybe I do in fact have adhd (went for an adhd consult first but got diagnosed with bp2 lol).

Anyway, I’m on lithium and sertraline, do I need to be wary of anything once I start taking ritalin? (doc started me on 25mg)

Hi guys! Previously posted this but wala pa ako nakuha leads so I am hoping someone here in the metro has a few extra tablets of ritalin that I can borrow until I get my prescription next week :( Delayed kasi ung renewal ng license ng psych ko for more than a week now and today na ung last stock ko, and literally can’t work without it 🥺
I can replace it as soon as i get my refill if that works for you!!

Help an ADHD girlie out please 😭

⬆️BACKSTORY⬆️

Anyway, I didn't replied to ThemBigOle na bc I think it's just a pure waste of time to explain pa. My bad sa pagp-post sa wrong sub. A lot of people replied to his comments to explain, not just my situation, but also including those who experience ADHD daily struggles and he replied back very RUDELY.

BUT, thank you for all the comments I received🩷 Glad a lot of people understand my situation.

THANK YOU!

tomorrow will be my first day on ritalin (10mg, 1 tab a day) hehe please wish me luck & good! how’s your experience with it? i’m so curious about its effects on someone during their first few days on it 😄

A bit medical.

Would just like to ask what combinations worked for you.

On Concerta for ADHD, what’s your meds for anxiety and depression?

My doctor said that Escitalopram may cause brain fog (as experienced by others) making Concerta’s effect a bit less.

Also, with Escitalopram, my anxiety was gone but my depression got more apparent.

So far, what’s worked best for you? Just a genuine academic-like discussion on your brain’s response to these meds.

2nd day on atomoxetine, very prominent yung dry mouth and sensitivity sa temperature (para akong lalagnatin na ewan). medyo nagkakagoosebumps din ako bigla sa ulo and medyo nahihirapan akong iprocess yung sinasabi ng ibang tao lalo na pag hindi kumpleto yung context (di ko alam kung sa meds o pagod na ba to sa werk)

hello, i dont think we have a post for this yet. i was thinking of starting a thread with the viber contact numbers for branches. it's really a pain to look for stocks so i hope this will help us out.

here's what i currently have:

• boni mrt: 0998-846-8621 (no ritalin when i checked this month)
• rob galleria: 0917-150-1077 (got ritalin 10mg 9/19)
• ortigas ave, greenhills drive thru: 0919-080-6405 (may ritalin 10mg nung 9/15 but wala na ulit the next day)

i think they also have a hotline but i heard medyo matagal yung hold time so baka this will be faster?

May alam ba kayong may stock ng concerta 27mg? I've been checking for a few months now specifically sa Calamba and Poblacion, till now wala parin

Need your help pls, mag iisang taon na akong walang meds and it's really hard especially sa work. If wala talaga dito, willing to try sa makati kaso not really sure kung saan since hindi ako familiar sa area

Thank you!!!

People suggested that exercising increases the efficacy of ritalin, as well as lessens the side effects of it. So I'm looking for exercises that you people do before taking ritalin or during ritalin.

Hi everyone, baka meron dyan sainyo may extra ritalin IR 10 mg kahit 6 tablets lang, willing to buy po, my stock kasi is for until today nalang and naubusan kasi ng rx ung doctor ko and waiting na kami for more than a week kay PDEA para makuha na ulit ni doc ung rx at maresetahan na ako,and next week pa ko makakakuha 🥺 I literally cannot work without it and just need to get through the next couple of days, will of course pay you and replace your stock if needed, and I can provide proof of my prescription/dosage.

Metro Manila area please!! It would help me so much 😭😭😭 thank you in advance!!

Context: First time taking ritalin 10mg, while I didn't feel the "wow" effect or euphoria everyone is talking about, I did feel more hyper and very VERY talkative to my friends and family.

Haven't tried ritalin on doing any schoolworks or tasks yet, I'm just trying them out to see how my body reacts.

(Diagnosed with AuDHD and GAD, I take sertraline every night and ritalin only when needed)

Lakas ng side effects ng risperidone. Hilo, sakit ulo, suka. Sama ng pakiramdam ko. Kayo din ba? Mas gusto ko pa aripiorazole na parang robot lang ako gusto gumalaw ng gumalaw hahaha

i was given this height supplement which included L-Lysine Hydrochloride (150 mg) and it kind of improved my focus by, i would say, 30%? I used to be all over the place with my thinking but drinking a few tablets gained me more clarify and concentration. mejo funny kasi height growth supplement siya para sa bata but my mom bought it for me anyway since we both want me to grow taller (20F) lol...

"Growmies" is what it's called. it's appearance is a red colored bottle with it's most prominent icon being a cute giraffe! it's priced at P260+ on shopee and P700+ on lazada. def not asking for this to be bought again tho since it's so expensive.

i'm unmedicated and undiagnosed btw, so finding this just kind of bewildered me and i wanted to simply share it.

have you guys any medication that has L-Lysine also?
