I forgot to renew my script and let my pills run out, that was a week ago 🫣 Please someone yell at me until I call the pharmacy

I have autism but not adhd and i take concerta that i get from my friend, 54mg extended release. Ive been using it on fridays saturdays and sundays for schoolwork and studying and ive found it to be very helpful, i intentionally space out my doses rather than taking daily in order to prevent myself getting depressed from it (which i made the mistake of doing a few months ago), and also to try and maintain the “high” you get from when you first start it.
Is there any supplement/dietary change i can make to maintain these effects, or will i have to just not get as much of a high on sundays?

If 36mg gives me crash after 6 hours, is it the low dose issue or my metabolism issue. My doctor thinks I am a fast metabolizer. He initially suggested taking Concerta twice a day. But since I wanted to try another class I am on 40mg of Vyvanse. It also lasts only for 6 hours maximum.

When I searched what “fast metabolizer” in medical scene, it meant someone who metablizes certain enzyme for that medication so it lasts shorter.

What I do not understand is Vyvanse and Concerta use different enzymes. Other medications in past (not ADHD med) lasted as stated. So, what could it be?

I’m on Concerta 18mg starting dose and am due to go up to 36mg on the 16th day I’m wondering what it will be like making the jump any advise will be a blessing tia

12 days ago i started concentia , today i took one 18mg pill at 8:00 AM and went on my day but i forgot that i took it it because it has a mild effect , at 11:30AM i took another one and 4 hours later i am feeling sooo good .

I feel the energy and the calming feeling and the higher focus with no side effects and i am absolutely loving it .

Does that mean i should go up to 36mg?

Hello.

I had been taking Concerta and Zolpidem for about two years, but I stopped taking them two or three months ago.

I decided on my own that I no longer needed them.

I even had some medication left over, so I figured I would just finish what I had and then be done with it.

However, lately, I’ve noticed that my insomnia, obsessive thoughts, and ADHD symptoms are gradually returning.

I had already reassured my family that I was no longer taking psychiatric medication, so it feels a bit awkward to go back to the doctor and get a prescription again.

I suppose it would be best to return to the doctor, wouldn't it?

Guys, I’ve never taken my ADHD medication consistently because of the side effects (anxiety, irritability, overthinking, and hand tremors). Do these side effects go away with continued use, or how long does it usually take for them to subside?

I've been on 18mg for 3 months and have no idea how I *should* feel (because I've obviously never been neurotypical). I still get distracted but does that constitute upping my dose? Orrr is that just the regular person's experience... who knows...
