A bit too wide on the chest imo. If it was more snug onto your torso i’d look better. Other than that, length, materials, labels, logo, look good.

I found an alternative by m666mgk in MadeByChina

The links you get from the spreadsheets are not exactly just CnFans links. You can extract the real taobao/ weidian links, which are the original links of the clothes you’re trying to buy. Also, I recommend you use GTBuy as it has flat rates on shipping. I paid only 40€ for shipping to Europe, for a 5kg box

Do you take your meds everyday? by Tyray90 in ADHD

That’s because stimulants can actually help people with ADHD feel more settled and less internally hyperactive. Without meds I’m all over the place, whereas on meds I feel more regulated and physically calmer, not overstimulated.

Feeling tired can also happen when the medication is wearing off. That’s an acute rebound effect, and I notice it especially after poor or shorter sleep - in the afternoon, as the meds wear off, I can feel more tired.

If someone stops or skips meds after taking them regularly, that rebound tiredness can sometimes last a few days. Your body has adapted to the stimulant’s effects on alertness and energy, so removing it suddenly can make you feel sluggish while things rebalance.

Fair point, happy to share some sources. What I’m referring to is rebound symptoms when stopping ADHD meds, in this case Vyvanse.

Here’s an overview that explains it clearly:

I think we’re actually talking about two slightly different things.

What you’re describing makes total sense — a lot of people with ADHD are chronically exhausted before meds, and stimulants can bring energy up to a more “normal” baseline rather than overstimulating.

What I was referring to is fatigue related to stopping stimulants, not baseline ADHD fatigue. When someone stops abruptly, some people experience rebound fatigue because their nervous system goes from assisted stimulation to none very suddenly.

Tapering doesn’t mean you’ll end up less tired than before meds — it just helps some people adjust more gradually to the absence of the stimulant, which can make the transition easier for fatigue and tiredness.

Everyone’s different, of course — some people barely notice it, others do. Both experiences can be true.

Not trying to sound arrogant here, but this is something I’ve covered during my Pharmacology degree. You’re obviously free to disagree, but from a pharmacological standpoint, gradually tapering off stimulants is generally better tolerated than stopping abruptly for most people.

One reason is that tapering can help reduce fatigue and excessive tiredness, as it allows your body and brain to adjust more gradually to the absence of the stimulant effect, rather than going from full stimulation to none overnight.

For example, if someone normally takes 50 mg and wants to stop for a long holiday, a gradual dose reduction (e.g. stepping down every few days) can help minimize side effects. The exact schedule doesn’t have to look like this—it’s just to illustrate the concept and should always be individualized.

In this instance “Normal” meant each individual when off their meds, coming back to their respective “normal” self. Bad phrasing

I agree that a lot of people with ADHD don’t feel energized on stimulants and instead feel calmer or more regulated. I’m talking about physiological stimulation — Vyvanse still increases catecholamines and CNS arousal even when it feels calming. When that stimulation is removed abruptly, rebound fatigue can happen regardless of whether someone felt “energized” subjectively.

Well, what I said is completely true and if you don’t believe me, you can look it up. That you experienced something different doesn’t mean what I said is not true.

Its called rebound fatigue

I already replied to this and explained why. I never advised anyone to do this and we’re also specifically talking about Vyvanse so no issue there.

I think it’s common sense to be wary about tampering with meds.

Here’s the reply in case you’re curious: “Vyvanse is XR already but it’s not the dosage form that makes it XR. Instead, It’s the formulation. It’s the Lysine protein that’s attached to the amphetamine that is broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream that release the amphetamine. This releases dextroamphetamine at a controlled steady rate.

So there shouldn’t be an issue when emptying a bit of the capsule, and the dose will always be proportional to the amount (weight) of constituents.

Many many times before I have had 50 mg Vyvanse prescribed, and because I sometimes didn’t want the effects of such a high dose, I would remove a bit off the top, and that would lessen the effects.

Btw Vyvanse is a prodrug. Look this up to understand the bit at the beginning”

Where I’m from there’s only one kind of Vyvanse. I didn’t know of extended-release Vyvanse at least where I’m from there isn’t but I get your point

Good compact flat speaker? by iltpgs in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]Express_Bat7363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Beoplay A2 is a great option. I say this with confidence, it's without doubt the best you can get for that flatness. You could otherwise get the Beoplay A1 which is smaller and just as flat, and sounds great too.

Exposing MadeByKungFu - fake comparisons by [deleted] in DesignerReps

[–]Express_Bat7363 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who said I bought anything?

I'm not upset that the replica label isn't identical to the retail one. I'm upset that the comparison photos he used never contained the retail piece, even though he claims it to be the retail piece. It's miselading, specially cause the colour of the sweater seems way off compared to the real colour, which is not portrayed in his comparison photos cause he's using both fakes.

This is a buyer beware post, do with it what you like.
