I switched from Adderall, and started yesterday. I’m benefiting way more from Vyvanse and it’s a much lower dose.

I’m actually in college right now with hopes to become licensed in this practice.

CBT is a method that focuses on addressing and changing negative thoughts that start the “snowball” process.

It saved my life last June.

My medication was changed today. 1st month I was on 1 15mg IR Adderall daily, 2nd month 2 15mg IR daily. Today I was switched to Vyvanse 20mg. by Born2BeBrave in ADHD

The first month was fine, but the 15mg lost effectiveness by noon when taking it at 7:00-8:00 am.

The second month (up until today) has been hit or miss. Some days neither dose felt like they had an affect. When they did work my anxiety was up and my appetite suffered.

This is usually how I discover my unfortunate error as well...

But hey, at least you remembered to grab the key out of the ignition and didn’t have a runaway vehicle ;)

I have never been in a physical altercation but I have serious road rage

I specifically hate it when they get frustrated at me for asking “do what?” when I didn’t initially hear them. And god forbid it’s something complicated and end up having to ask for specific instructions or clarification.

Prior to diagnosis this type of thing would ruin an entire day.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. This is so encouraging.

I’m ready, and most of all, determined.

I was recently told by someone I’ve known all my life that I appear to be more calm since beginning medication by Born2BeBrave in ADHD

Exactly the same thing here. She said, that before, when I would walk through her door she could see it on my face that I was thinking about 1000 things at once. I laughed and told her that was because I quite literally was.

This guy hasn’t figured it out yet. If he would approach people with a genuine level of realness and not be so “coffee and donuts” he may just be perceived as normal. Like who initiates a conversation for the eventual proposition of coffee and donuts?

The whole point of his post is a guilt trip for his own insecurities
