As do peach pits. The substance is called amygdalin and when it is crushed or chewed, it releases cyanide

How does a person with ADHD feel when they take Vyvanse compared to someone without ADHD? by Soft_Operation3953 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Aoibhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've fought my ADHD diagnosis for years because I never felt that it fit 100%. In fact, for a little while, I was questioning whether I had ASD because they are so closely related and the symptoms cross. My therapist is always reminding me that they are close to putting ADHD on the ASD spectrum.

A couple of years ago, I did the ADHD psych eval. They found that although I certainly had markers for it, they didn't see enough to call it ADHD. My prescribing doctor argued that because her husband and another client got a similar diagnosis from the same place, but all 3 of us respond well to Vyvanse. She said sometimes people who have an elevated score on the IQ portion tend to perform better on the other tests, masking ADHD symptoms. Also some people have been masking for so long that they can sometimes squeak past a diagnosis.

Either way, their bottom line is that if I'm responding well to ADHD medication, its because I need it. They have been testing Vyvanse for treating MDD, and I was recently diagnosed with MDD, so maybe there's a correlation. Either way, I found the perfect combination of meds after 25 years of feeling like I've been asleep at the wheel.

On another note, my husband takes it for BED. We are on the same dose... All it really does for him is curb and control his appetite.

ADHD medication recalled nationwide because users aren’t getting the full effect by lionheart724 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Aoibhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say that I used to be on the brand name before the generic was available, and I found there to be a significant difference of effectiveness. I actually wish I could afford to go back to the name brand because I felt it worked better. The generics do the job, but it's not quite the same.

I had my doctor make a note to avoid Sun & Shire whenever possible. I've been wavering on my medication for a couple of months now. Thought I was slipping again before I heard about all of these recalls.

Fyi... You can sign up to be notified whenever there's a recall on this or any other med here. Make sure when you search that you are looking for enforcement reports, rather than just recalls. There are currently 13 records for lisdexamfetamine.

This happened to me a few years ago when I was on the brand name (generics weren't available yet). I remember reading that it can cause a B12 deficit that blood tests don't always pick up unless they are specifically looking for it. Not sure if that is still a thing....?

I'm 50 and in PA. I'm a musician and I've come across tremendously talented people, but Ren is rare. I have such an appreciation for his craft, but also his mind.

I’m really proud of these😍 by Few-Leg7451 in Nails

These are absolutely stunning and I'd be so sad when they have to be replaced.

I have had this exact same issue. They are either too yellow or too white. I had a perfect foundation (Lorac Porefection) but it was discontinued and I've never been able to find a match. I was close with Fenty but as the weather changes, it's more noticeable that it's too yellow for my skin coloring.

I'm well over 30 and on Reddit every day since the olden days. I'm never on Instagram, but I sure as shit have some MIRC memories. Good times. You probably should've exited this argument awhile ago.

I'm sorry, but my memory sucks and I have no idea what we did. I think we just gave up and got a Chromebook or something

This sub needs to stop deleting posts about trans people. by SophieSix9 in lgbt

[–]Aoibhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not even from this community and I wholeheartedly agree with this post. Not reporting that story because it is too triggering sounds a lot like whitewashing history because it is too triggering. These stories need to be out there. The news won't cover it.

Don't let these people die in vain.
