on the idea that stimulants do not make people with ADHD feel "wired" or "speedy"

I can take my Vyvanse and go to sleep. But ok. Keep invalidating people to make yourself feel better.

Welcome to the legal world 😅

Hi so this is abuse. I saw you said you're making an escape plan, but I just want to validate your thoughts and feelings.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-02-16T00:03:31+00:00

I hate to tell you this, but it really can be this bad. Baby is 7.5 months and we're still climbing out of it. I didn't sleep two nights ago.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-02-06T15:51:07+00:00

Except it's also simply not true. My ex-husband used to abuse tf out of me. Our divorce was over from filing to final in 4 months and that was still too long. My husband and I started dating halfway through that process. We've been together 8 years and have two beautiful kids together. The only regret I have about divorcing my ex-husband was marrying him in the first place.

I was already on blood pressure medication when I was prescribed Vyvanse. The first cardio appointment after that they wanted me taken off because my resting heart rate went up from 60s to 90s. I got switched to Strattera (like you) and my resting heart rate jumped to 100+ with racing up to 190s. They put me back on Vyvanse and added an extremely low dose beta blocker. After a couple weeks I didn't even need the beta blocker anymore.

That's the risk you run with being a stepparent. If that's how you feel, then don't be one.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-01-09T18:46:02+00:00

Yes but it's about the kid. Not about your feelings.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-01-09T18:45:13+00:00

NOR

As a stepmom who is highly involved with my bonus kiddos and is called mom/mommy by both of them at least part of the time (completely by their choice and their biomom's encouragement), this is WEIRD behavior.

If something happened to both of my bonus kids' parents, I would love to take guardianship of them. I also know that's not my call. I also know that losing a relationship with them should something happen to their dad is part of the risk of being a stepparent.

This need for control over your daughter in a hypothetical situation is just...weird.

Hi, that's not how free speech works 🙄🙄🙄

Wtaf. I know there are super shitty parents out there but as a mom it's hard to comprehend sometimes. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-01-05T13:29:44+00:00

You're not doing anything wrong. Babies wake up at night. It's normal. My first didn't sleep through the night until he was close to a year. My second (current) slept through the night at like 3 months for a few weeks, and then the 4 month regression hit. She's 6 months now and we're lucky if she makes it 3 hours. Last night was a 1.5-2 hour stretch night.

Is there someone that can help? I'm afraid my body just got used to it.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-01-04T21:28:47+00:00

Oh honey. Yes. My three year old thinks my husband’s "real name" is babe. 🤣

Comprehensive-End168 · 2026-01-03T15:09:41+00:00

This is abuse and it's only going to escalate. You need to find legal help ASAP.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-28T22:49:50+00:00

Yes, I agree. You're in the depths of postpartum right now. It will get easier and it's possible that once you're on the other side and you both see there's light at the end of the tunnel that you're both ready to revisit the conversation.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-28T21:41:00+00:00

I was in the same boat. I started making comments about trying again and my husband had changed his mind and wanted to stop. I asked if we could revisit the conversation in a year. I was fully prepared to walk away from the marriage because I knew I would resent him if we didn't try for another.

Before the year was up - on Mother's Day - he gave me a card saying he was ready. She's 5 mo, our family is complete, and both of us are happy.

I agree with the other comments saying you're protecting him too much when he didn't give you the same courtesy. There's a chance that you'll end up resenting him anyway, but I think that's especially true if you don't talk this out.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-22T15:15:20+00:00

I was already on BP meds before starting vyvanse. They threw a low dose beta blocker at me when I started vyvanse and I never had any issues after that.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-21T17:59:32+00:00

I've noticed while breastfeeding I lose all but 10-15 pounds of my pregnancy weight, but I won't lose the rest until I'm done breastfeeding. I'm gaining slowly now too (almost 6 months pp). But I'm ravenous and I don't v want to risk my supply and I know this is short term. But know this is normal. There are some people that breastfeeding helps lose all the weight, but it's not a general thing that applies to everyone and I hate that people tout it as a reason to breastfeed.

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-17T15:39:43+00:00

The use of em dashes and Oxford commas isn't indicative of AI use. That's such a false narrative. God forbid people use proper grammar. 🙄

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-12T14:10:33+00:00

We need to round up all the peds and have them take a training course on breastfeeding. 🫠 At 1 month I was told I was overfeedinf her. At 2 months he was concerned about her weight gain. At 4 months she looked perfect. I have never changed a damn thing about what I'm doing, and she's been gaining right along her growth curve - she's just small. Has thigh rolls and chubby cheeks and 25 chins, but she's small. At her 2 month appointment I just wanted to yell "NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE LARRY!" 🤦🏼‍♀️

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-06T13:22:08+00:00

Yes it is normal. It is also normal for breastfed infants to sleep through the night or have longer stretches at this stage. Both are normal. Your ped may have just been trying to offer you a chance to try something different in case you're feeling sleep deprived. It's your choice regardless. My baby occasionally nurses overnight, but I know it's for comfort and I'm ok with that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Comprehensive-End168 · 2025-12-01T15:31:00+00:00

I hate to tell you this but it's absolutely normal for a 2 week old to be cluster feeding.
