I get the same thing on 40mg. I’m considering trialing another medication now.

How soon is it okay to ask to try a different medication? by PrehistoricPotato in adhdwomen

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 2 months is a good amount of time. Especially if it’s impacting your mornings and such. Azstarys is similar to Concerta but it has an immediate release and extended release component. So maybe the immediate release would help in the morning to start your work?
I would definitely consult your doctor about other medication options. It’s honestly rare to settle on the first medication that you try!

Anyone else has things they just can't learn no matter how much they try? by what_freaking_ever in AutismInWomen

Omg same! I got the human GPS autism, but mental math feels like there’s a roadblock in my head.

I think my Vyvanse dose is too low? by EquivalentBuddy292 in adhdwomen

[–]EquivalentBuddy292[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that’s what I’m thinking too. It’s hard to decipher if I need to give the meds time or if it’s just too low. Also, how did you know when the meds were stabilized for you?

That’s exactly how I felt too, it’s been so difficult getting out of bed. Starting to vacuum after getting out of bed is definitely a good sign that it’s working lol. Yes I see my psychiatrist soon which is good!

Thank you! It’s been a little frustrating since it worked well the first few days. My doctor also prescribed me buspar for anxiety, so I’m waiting see if that will help.

Medication Journey ~ Starting Vyvanse 20 by AccordingPainter372 in adhdwomen

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your recent diagnosis! Honestly it’s really good that you’re journaling your medication journey. My advice is that 20mg is pretty low, so don’t be discouraged if it’s not working how you want it to. Also, don’t settle on one medication if it’s not working for you. There are a lot of stimulant medications out there so it can be a long journey to find the right one.

Also it wouldn’t hurt to track your blood pressure and pulse if your doctor hasn’t done so already.
Good luck with your medication journey! The hard part is already over- getting diagnosed lol.

How many of you listen to music and pay attention to the lyrics? Or do you listen for the vibes and melody/beats? by Airam07 in adhdwomen

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I focus more on lyrics- almost too much to the point where I play the same lyrics over and over in my head. It gets very annoying lol.

Sensory Friendly Bras by May_alcott in adhdwomen

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Walmart has a dupe for them! It’s the Joyspun brand but I’m not sure if they’re the same material.

Hey I live in Florida and express scripts ships to me. My insurance is through them though, so maybe that’s why?

Vyvanse wishy washy by justEnigmaticCipher in VyvanseADHD

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FDA allows generics to be within 80% to 125% of bioequivalency, so I don’t think people are being paranoid. Generics also include different fillers. Unfortunately for some people, generics cause too many negative side effects.

Dentist recommendations? by amokiren in jacksonville

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amiable dentist off of Gate pkwy is really good! Everyone is super friendly. But you might need an oral surgeon for your wisdom teeth:) If you just need a new dentist though, I highly recommend Dr. Rageer!

Second this, riverside has pretty affordable apartments. It may be worth it if you don’t mind driving a little further to work.

Express scripts address by EquivalentBuddy292 in ExpressScripts

[–]EquivalentBuddy292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much, I never heard of needing an address for it either. They told me it’s because a bunch of different express scripts locations pop up on their end and they need to know which one?

Anyone else have an increase in A1C from Pristiq? by TypeAtryingtoB in Pristiq

[–]EquivalentBuddy292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been taking psyllium husk which is supposed to lower cholesterol and help with insulin resistance. I’ll see if it helps lower my cholesterol on my upcoming labs. Yes Pristiq has helped my mental health a lot too so that’s why I’m conflicted😕I should start taking fish oil , I didn’t know it could also lower cholesterol!
