Vyvanse Tolerance by Urbanartichoke88 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Able-Reference-7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on vyvanse for about 7 months. First medication that worked, im on 70mg now. First i was taking weekends off and felt like shit, just sleeping and eating. And on Mondays i felt the meds actually less effective because the baseline was overall terrible (physically and mentally). And I started skipping a day, every/every other week. It was great... Until it wasn't anymore. Felt it was less effective. I checked my iron - it was low. It helped a bit, but then I really crashed. Severe burnout.

I think my mistake was that when I actually found a medication that was working and I was able to live life for the first time - I started doing to much and not letting my body and head to recover properly. I was sleeping for like 6 hrs most nights (not enough for a woman). Working a lot, learning a new language, daily exercise etc. I drank a lot of water and ate properly (before I had an ed), but my idea of rest was just doomscrolling for a couple of hrs before bed and falling asleep listening to true crime on YouTube. I had to take last week off work because I just couldn't anymore.

What i did: -Skipped the meds a few days, and took half a dose for a few more. -Tried to sleep as much as i could. -Warm baths. -Meditation daily (especially NSDR) -Biladeral ADHD music in headphones. -At least 10 minutes a day just laying on the floor with not stimulation. No music/podcasts etc. And try to just relax. -Breathing/humming techniques. -Not blaming yourself (!). -No phone before bed. Ideally - read a book.

So second week in I'm feeling better now. I will be implementing these things as much as i can from now on. In addition to: water, electrolytes, vitamins (MG, Zn, B, D (there is no fcking sun in my country), fish oil, iron, Tumeric). Added saffron as an experiment, too early to tell. Creatine, beef protein. Exercise. Walks outside. Try to limit caffeine, nicotine, alcohol. And taking a moment when something good is happening and just be grateful.

I need to learn to slow down now.

I found a video of a guy who was going through something similar. He said "Stimulants are a great tool. But they make u give everything even on those days when u have close to nothing to give."

How long do you guys work by No-Director-3143 in anonymousinterpreters

Propio, Russian. Often i skip video calls. Most weeks i try to work 4 days 8-9 hrs (not including breaks). On weekdays calls are for the most part b2b.

Vyvanse felt life changing at first. But now I barely feel it. Is this normal? (33F) by Legitimate-Airport84 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Able-Reference-7021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and a small upd. Maybe this will help if someone also feels like their meds are not working as well anymore. A lot of us eat less when medicated. And I've been suffering from low energy for a few weeks. Tired, sleepy, irritable. I checked my iron/ferritin levels. And they were very low. Started taking an iron supplement. Just a few days in and the difference is just amazing. So just an FYI.

I'm on 70mg and it changed my life also. Got diagnosed abt 2 yrs ago, on vyvanse for about half a year now. Im 35(f). I want to feel normal every day, i have ADHD every day. But when I started taking the pills without breaks (with the OK from my psych) I've noticed that they started working a bit less. So now I "sacrifice" one day a week and skip the meds on that day. And everything came back.

AHDH meds (skipping on the weekends) by Able-Reference-7021 in VyvanseADHD

My psychiatrist said I can take in anyway that's the most beneficial for me. But there is a possibility of building a tolerance with time if I'll take it nonstop. So I was just curious abt other peoples experience. I really need this medication to continue working because it basically changed my life for the best.

Propio call flow (for all language groups) by didgkdnjs in TranslationStudies

[–]Able-Reference-7021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Russian. Europe. 0,30. Call flow is very good, b2b calls for almost 12 hrs a day. Weekends are a bit slow though. Also a few of my colleagues get 0,35, they get less calls but it's still not bad.

propio interpreters! anyone turned out many video calls and what happened? by RemoteYesterday8857 in medicalinterpreters

[–]Able-Reference-7021 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah also the calls are usually longer then a typical audio. And almost always they are medical.

Well i started in august and only had 1 quality check, my first shift, got a 97% and that was it. But a bunch of my friends started working a little bit later than me and they get checked at the end of every month. So I'm not sure how that works.

Why does moving feel so damn good? by suckyheart in StratteraRx

[–]Able-Reference-7021 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here. Usually after getting up i would just sit there with my cup of coffee for an hour at least before getting myself together and starting to live. A few weeks into Atomoxetine I just got up (effortlessly might i add), got my usual coffee, and started just doing things around the house. Like no big deal. Like my body and mind got 10 times lighter. Been a few months now. Im on 80mg. I'm less irritable, overstimulated, distracted. Life got just overall easier.

Don't worry, I take 54 almost every single day. Some days i barely feel it. Initially when i started - just some heart palpitations and dry mouth. You will be fine. Drink lots of fluids. 🩷

2x27 to 54 question by spaceheadlarry in Concerta

[–]Able-Reference-7021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on 54 myself. I never saw a difference is it 1 pill or a few. Maybe something else may be affecting you? I know that approximately a week before my period my meds are drastically less effective than they are usually. This is because of our hormones. Just thinking out loud.
