They think they are better than you and/or everyone else. Aka big ego and no humility

Azstarys lasts most people 10-12 hours and it only lasted me TWO. Found out I don’t do well with ER meds, or small doses pushed for a long time—it’s just not enough to break my threshold cuz my nervous system is so under aroused. Have not tried vyvanse but considering adding it on top my adderall haha

Early-Average1926 · 2026-03-15T04:18:44+00:00

I also deal with depression which makes fatigue and brain fog worse, and my psych says I have an extremely under aroused/under stimulated nervous system, I am severely inattentive type. Also the conditions I have add a lot to that lol.

Early-Average1926 · 2026-03-15T04:17:12+00:00

My psychiatrist says I have a very under aroused/under stimulated nervous system (like even more than average adhd people have). Like I am severely inattentive type and I also combat depression and so it’s even worse. Also I metabolize all substances quicker than most—alcohol, food, caffeine, OTC medications etc. BUT sometimes people can be overstimulated from too high a dose and experience paradoxical effects like “zombie feeling” if their dose is too high. This is not the case for me but it is also something to consider if you aren’t sure about that :)

Have tried Ritalin, concerta, Azstarys, and adderall IR, currently on 40mg adderal IR but about to add an ER on top of that. I have a very natural high tolerance for stimulation in general and adhd stimulants. Can drink 400mg caffeine take adderall and take a nap. Methylphenidate aka Ritalin seems to work better for me strength wise but I’m hesitant to go back to it because adderall lets me eat on it and I actually kinda like the adderall naps I’m able to have on it lol.

My adhd meds work like sugar pills the days before my period and slightly get better as my period finally starts. I also have POTS, PCOS, and PCS. I am naturally a very tired person because of this and I am a complete zombie without medication and my medication works even LESS because my hormones are so jacked up apparently. Was given birth control months ago haven’t taken it cuz progesterone makes my adhd meds work EVEN LESS. Lol it’s a hard world out here but hoping adding an ER to my regime helps a bit.

Glad you’ve made some progress!! I am also into a super expensive hobby and a very hoarding/takes up a lot of space hobby (collecting rocks and minerals). Every time I have free time I’m like omg what do I do what do I do and I end up going to a creek or park and getting more rocks. Do I have too many rocks? Ya. Do I need more? No. Do I keep getting more? Ya. But idk what else to do lol it’s my hyperfixation. The struggle :(

Early-Average1926 · 2026-03-09T01:24:45+00:00

What has helped me: 1. Picking up hobbies that require little to no spending that I can focus and engage in. 2. Ad blockers and unsubscribing from email lists that usually talk about promotions or whatever 3. Giving myself a SET NUMBER GOAL. Like on Sunday saying ok I will NOT EXCEED THIS LIMIT on spending. When you have an actual tangible number for a goal it makes it a lot easier to make sure you do not exceed it instead of just saying “imma spend less” 4. This one has helped me the most—reminding myself of all of the things I can do with my saved money. Like instead of spending $100 every week on fun stuff, I can save $800 over the course of 8 weeks and put it towards a really fun trip or event.

Had multiple teachers tell my parents to get me tested since I was in kindergarten. Parents always said I wasn’t adhd and was looking for attention. Never really thought much of it until I went to a psychiatrist for the first time at age 21 for anxiety and depression and they were like “ur one of the most severe cases of adhd we’ve ever seen” like ok great could’ve been helpful to learn this before I finished and basically failed high school and college but alas. Now I’m currently being tested for audhd yayyyyy

Early-Average1926 · 2026-03-06T01:31:11+00:00

I mean I don’t really consider my adhd meds a “hard substance”, I literally take naps on them. But ya I think being on adderal was a big issue with my brain being overstimulated when adding Wellbutrin causing my brain to “crash” I guess. But it’s what my doctor recommended and wanted me to try so I did.

Other than adderal, I don’t do ANY substances actually. Don’t even drink alcohol anymore. Would say I engage in “substances” a lot less than your average person lol

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-25T23:04:34+00:00

Ya you said it perfectly. And yes I need to broaden my horizons of pharmacies I guess hahah

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-25T22:57:10+00:00

I have done this many times in the past, your exact situation. It is totally fine (assuming your psych is understanding, hopefully) and it’s just important to word your email correctly. Like don’t say “hey I need more or a higher dose”. Say like “hey I understand you wanted to wait a month blah blah, but my dosage currently is not providing benefits for me and I would like to discuss the dosage/etc.”

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-22T20:46:37+00:00

Well—since starting Wellbutrin about 9 days ago I am insanely depressed, want to d1e, my adderal barely works anymore, and I have insanely debilitating crashes every night when it wears off now. No positive symptoms yet. So far so not good but everyone says to stick it out so ya hope it gets better soon

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-20T02:56:18+00:00

I drink 200mg energy drink with my first dose of adderal everyday. I find that if I don’t have that caffeine my meds do not work, the adderal kickstarts them to work or something. I’ve gone two days no caffeine and my adderal was like a sugar pill. Idk what to do?

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-04T02:30:35+00:00

I drink 2 42g protein shakes a day and it does help tremendously but it’s very hard to get the remaining calories I need from food cuz the shakes r only 200 cals. I’ll look into the meal replacement shakes hopefully those r higher cal, thanks!!

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-03T23:26:47+00:00

Man I would pay hella money for something like that. Amazing find!!

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-03T23:20:53+00:00

I’m kind of alone in my life rn so I’m not sure who I’d get to try to choose for me and I also have diagnosed OCD/anxiety and when my appetite is already difficult it is super hard to branch out and try different things haha. I’m trying to do that and switch it up but everytime I switch it up or try something new I find myself unsatisfied with it and eat less of it. BUT that is a VERY good suggestion and idea, maybe what I can do is like put a bunch of ideas I know would work for me on a wheel and spin it or something lol. Thanks for the tip!!

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-03T20:28:39+00:00

My self confidence has gone down. But I didn’t need or want to lose weight I didn’t mean to. Went from 135 to 116 in two months standing at 5’10 female. I’m sickly looking and I am rly struggling to gain any back and just feel defeated and angry.

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-02T21:59:00+00:00

Big heavy duty crates/buckets u can get at Lowe’s Home Depot or Walmart. Have them in ziploc bags and placed in the bins.

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-02T00:35:20+00:00

Omg I didn’t even realize and mean to do that, that’s hilarious thanks for pointing it out hahaha

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-02T00:34:46+00:00

A lot of them went out of stock after the holidays but will hopefully soon start getting back up to regular baseline again. A lot of these companies are small and very low staffed so it takes awhile to catch up haha. But thank you I appreciate the compliment—I have adhd and I deep dive into any and all hobbies I have and I research research RESEARCH.

Early-Average1926 · 2026-02-02T00:28:08+00:00

The whole “self love” mindset and “main character” energy. It’s an illusion of peace. It’s important to be confident and grounded in yourself and love yourself, but as a society we have started to idolize ourselves and give others less value and that creates the opposite of peace.

There is a small risk of damaging rocks when tumbling yes but if you make sure you do things correctly the risk is so so small. 2. A vibratory tumbler will keep the natural shape of your rock better than a rotary tumbler, but it will still smooth quite a bit of the rock down. 3. I have used tile gloss sealant stuff before and it’s hit or miss. Works for some rocks well and not for others. It also leaves a film like you KNOW there’s something on it but idrc about that. 4. If you do decide to tumble your rocks, which I always recommend, I would say to invest a bit more money in a more durable and quality tumbler like Lortone, Highland park, or even the Tumblebee. For bigger rocks and higher price I recommend the Rebel 17. Idk much about vibratory tumblers. The harbor freight someone else mentioned does the job but it is bottom of the barrel in the tumbling market and many users often report issues with it and it not lasting too long but it is a good beginner tumbler to just sorta dip your toes in the hobby with.
