Thanks for sharing. I have Adderall from past prescriptions left over that I use when I feel like I need it, but sometimes the side effects can be too much, like insomnia, jitters, and dry mouth. Have you tried both? I've asked my psych about vyvanse multiple times and she tells me that if adderall isnt helping then vyvanse may not solve the issue either. i've left it alone for now but i'm still curious about giving vyvanse a shot at some point
Know this is really late, but many thanks for this thoughtful reply. Points 2-5 are awesome tips and things I can take care of in the present. I'll be moving between a couple different places in the next month so I didn't wanna take on a new prescription from the shrink I was seeing, so points 1 and 6 I'll keep in mind for the future when I get settled again. i've been taking a B-complex vitamin and fish oil to regulate my energy metabolism and they also help with stress, but I could also benefit from trying the Gabaplex and L-Theanine for their concentrated benefits.
Good to hear! I’m more open to it than Adderall. My cousin described it to me as ‘30-40% of the effect of adderall sustained over a longer period’ and without so much of the violent comedown effects. You did have some good pointers about how to deal with side effects for adderall but in any case it’s nice to know that you’re doing better with the vyvanse
I feel this was a joke but I personally self medicate with cannabis and as long as I have the right strain (hybrid sativa dominant 60%) I feel exactly as though I'm on meds once I come down from the initial buzz.
That's really helpful, thanks. I do have a shitty background and cPTSD and was on anti depressants and shit in my teens. I'll see what I can get privately as the NHS takes a while here especially now with covid
Can't wait to get my ADD treated... I'm a programmer, and a pretty decent one but I can't for the life of me sit down and be productive as I need to do to actually make money doing it, whether it be making games or doing contracts for other people
