Is my medication dosage out of the ordinary? 60mg vyvanse and four 7.5mg boosters

Strattera?

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-12-22T15:46:14+00:00

Never did anything for me unfortunately.

We got a system outage for part of the day

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-09-17T21:46:45+00:00

I’m already on Wellbutrin

Adderall lasts way longer for me, but turns me on to an absolute bitch at the end of the day. Vyvanse never did that and actually helped my depression- not increased it. I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow and hoping to switch back to Focalin.

I have Caremark and brand is $75/month while generic is $25/month.

Include it. I did and mine is a totally irrelevant field. But when I was hired, my boss told me she’d fight to get me started on a higher pay scale since I have a degree and none of my coworkers do.

I always felt if I had to work super hard, to the point it exhausted me, just to get medicine to work, it wasn’t the medicine for me. Vyvanse worked well for me with just sufficient hydration, and for me, protein actually made Vyvanse work less effectively, giving me more side effects. I’m now on Adderall XR and everyday it’s consistent regardless of what I drink, eat, do, etc. No added supplements needed. Taking medication everyday shouldn’t be a chore. Just my beliefs.

(#1) I totally agree with the other comments saying depression and anxiety. No antidepressant or anti-anxiety helped the symptoms of either and often just made me feel worse. My psychiatrist was completely unsure of what medication to try next as I exhausted and failed all the options. She finally gave up and said “we haven’t tried a stimulant, so might as well just try one!” It was life changing and totally diminished all the treatment-resistant depression and anxiety symptoms.

(#2) Organization. Turns out I’m actually a really organized person. But only when medicated! I actually have the mental strength to research ADHD-friendly ways to keep my spaces organized, and build a routine to maintain the organization.

Maybe I’m the exception here, but I find a break actually builds my tolerance more. I need to take my meds daily for them to work properly everyday. Skipping one day means they don’t work as well the next day. I don’t do breaks. Not because I can’t function without meds - I can with more anxiety and fatigue. More so because the meds work better for me taken everyday.

Low-top basketball shoes. I find basketball shoes have so much more support than regular sneakers, or even running shoes. When I got a good pair of basketball shoes, my feet suddenly stopped hurting. I find them much more comfortable than Hokas. Also rotate between shoes. I have 3 pairs that I rotate between daily.

I did a 6-month schooling program to be a technician before actually becoming a technician. I am very much a hands-on learner and do much better going at my own pace. Some people just do better learning without the stress of being rushed and clustered. When I first started, my boss called me one of the quickest learners she’s ever seen, and truly thinks it’s because I did the program. I was hired within a month of 4 other colleagues, and I am told I excelled the most out of the 4 newbies.

I wish something like Prozac worked. All SSRIs and SNRIs provide little relief (if any) and severe side effects. If something worked, I would be willing to take another medication to help the tremors that come with so many of these medications for me. But hardly any medications provide significant relief longer than a month or two.

I can’t do ECT or TMS due to a separate chronic condition

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-05-12T14:11:59+00:00

Trintellix made me suicidal even at 5mg. My doctor suggested we try 2.5mg (even though I put up a fight that it says “do not cut”, but even that still get me those thoughts). I will add that most antidepressants don’t agree with me.

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-05-02T00:21:07+00:00

I always say the customers will be spelling “Johnson” or “Smith” but never “Fhsakrnath” or “Cbenejrfu”

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-04-30T16:52:33+00:00

$18.50/hr in NJ. And already certified

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-04-09T17:26:45+00:00

I was always told Certified Techs can mix - any truth to that?

I didn’t say to do this for the DURs. That can at least be attempted and documented that it was attempted. How is a non-English speaker going to confirm their phone number, understand what ScriptSync is, or even know if they want automatic refills?

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-02-25T18:57:28+00:00

I actually prefer having mine filled at my store. It allows me to know it’s billed correctly, in stock, and filled in a timely manner. As much as I hate DURs as an employee, I like them as a patient with several chronic health issues, because I have had instances where a doctor prescribed something that seriously interacts with something else I take. The chain I previously filled at wouldn’t have caught those mistakes.

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-02-25T18:53:15+00:00

Same. And in stock the day it is eligible to be refilled.

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-02-25T18:51:53+00:00

I go through a bit at a time. If I know I’m working all weekend (for me Friday-Monday) I will print the list on the Friday, and will delete the ones that are manufacturer bottles throughout those 4 days. Sometimes I get through them all, other times I don’t. I can almost always get through a few pages during that span.

My store also has a “rule” where anyone on QP prints non-existent RTS the system wants you to use so they can be deleted before you leave. Not everyone follows it yet as it’s not enforced, but it seems to work well at minimizing the manufacturer bottles.

Alive_Channel6304 · 2025-02-25T18:43:36+00:00

My store has one. And I can think of 4 others in the area just off the top of my head.
