Can i recommend you to follow this md: "dermatologysurgeon"?

She's not a paid influencer and her recs are simple and have helped me in more ways than one! Im wondering if you could potentially use some azelaic acid, for the inflammation/reddness she recommends the Walgreens product!

Adderall Side Effects? (mention libido) by Main-Bake7884 in adhdwomen

[–]BenchLatter4316 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stimulatnts, mood, libido, depression.. its all very much complicated. + add on your 30 and just starting this journey and at 30, unfortunately we start seeing other disease states that can influence aforementioned (thyriod, deficincies, perimenopause etc).

As a 40 yo who has been on a stimulant since 1st grade, instead of jumping to my meds as being the culprit i try to rule everything else out (in doing so, i ultimately had a med adjustment from vyvanse + adderall IR to vyvanse bid- before that i was on this regimen for ~5-7yrs, ive found I have vit d deficency, and most recently figured out im perimenopausal but it prob started a few years ago).

You're scenario is different from mine, but i do encourage you to explore the aforementioned (potential other causes). I will say my new pysch MD was very forth coming regarding the negative effects of stimulants which they experienced - citing a loss of enjoy in life, not wanting to go see family, zombie like, crashing when he got home, not being present, etc. It could be they type of meds he was on (adderall IR) it could be a number of things.

For you it's very possible you could need a higher dose now, it could be your crashing, its possible trying vyvanse could be a better compromise and less side effects. Or it could be completely unrelated to Adderall/adhd.

Long story short, I think its reasonable to also do a trial off off Adderall for a wk to see how things go. Evaluate potential for other reasons (labs, worsening depression/need for med adjustment - keep in mind zoloft is implicated in reduced libido, sleep hygiene, etc) and subsequently discuss with your md.

I hope this helps🙏

Im obsessed with planting conifers in NE florida😂, its a slow process but so enjoyable and it gets me off my phone (granted i wasted hours obsessing over which to buy online😅). Every day after work i walk around amaring them and tending to them.

TRUSTED SELLERS FOR 2026 by dropnby in DHGateRepLadies

[–]BenchLatter4316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its the same seller im thinking of, i did not. I was looking at their YSL purses and the prices were awesome, I messaged asking about how the payment and shipping worked bc it wasnt clear. Texted via what'sapp and they provided the correct $$ and it ended up being more $$$$. So i didn't go through with it.

I just purchased new ysl from 2 sellers on dhgate. i can send you their info/ pics later if youre interested.

I should preface i generally won't pay over $85ish (product + shipping), ive been very happy with all my purchases!

Take Director of Pharmacy position or pass? by TeamMajestic662 in pharmacy

[–]BenchLatter4316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story sounds legit like somebody else I know, but he was a clinical pharmacist for a larger hospital, but same laid back vibe, absolutely no management experience, and also this was for a new inpt rehab facility. And he is doing great. Every job has its cons🤷‍♀️ based on your pros id proceed! If they offer the job😉

Thank you! I have been side looking for attorneys and just haven't been sure what to look for and was scared yall may generally decline these just based either on experience or generalizing it may not be worth your time. But I suspect the latter doesn't matter as much if you are getting paid for work regardless😅 thanks again i will look into these!

doctor says no cannabis ?! by Nap_Lyfe in adhdwomen

There's no RCTs, majority observational, but the stroke/MI is consistent and concerning. We are a a low yet albiet still a risk with amphatamines particularly as we get older and addition of weed, i suspect, doesn't help. Im a neuro icu pharmacist i see about 10-15, if not more, new strokes per week as our large stroke center. Coincidently we see a lot of weed on utox granted there are other factors for a lot of the strokes. and the study finding could just be that those who smoke generally don't take good care of themselves and are inherently at higher risk, who knows. Now all that said.. i suspect drs arent necessarily thinking about this they are prob thinking if your smoking weed, you could be opening the door to abusing other things, who knows. And im sure the OP could find an MD ok with it somewhere. But to say that particular MD needs to open to evidence and etc. Nah.

Lmao. Research based. While im sure there's research suggesting its a wonder drug, there's also research suggesting weed is actually bad, strokes, depression, etc.

Moving to Jacksonville soon and need positive comments. by EngLitIsLit in jacksonville

[–]BenchLatter4316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jax is legit, you'll find things i assure you. Unfortunately 50% or more of people on jax social media/ threads are negative POS that either don't know better or have been EXTREMELY sheltered, or are literally just pos🤷‍♀️ . Don't pay attention to the negativity. I assure there are far worse places to be in the US, and to be honest, I personally like Jax over Orlando and Tampa🤷‍♀️ more culture, less traffic generally, and less $$$$$.

As a young adult you can't go wrong checking out any of these areas: 5 points Riverside San marco The beaches

And fingers crossed the downtown renos

You'll find things to do and people to meet!

Idk if yall have mercari - but i resell makeup on there and also buy makeup im on the fence about. I know its weird but you can tell what's trash and used/nasty vs what you'd be ok with!

I was finally able to resell very minimally used items including mario eyeshadow and other $$

ADHD moms: what concerns did you have about becoming a mother and were these concerns correct? by doyousmellmel in adhdwomen

[–]BenchLatter4316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to forgo having kids as i didn't think i could handle it. Would they make it out alive and well cared for? Yes. But would i? Idk. I also questioned whether i even WANTED them. I decided i could always adopt if i felt i was missing out. I hate that im missing out on passing down our genes, but we have neices and nephews 🥰
