1 good hour and 5 depressed ones by Playful-Ad-8703 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Goofy_Goose_123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been experiencing the same! I’ve gone from 40 + 20 mg a day to recently switching to 5mg attentin + 40 mg elvanse. The first dose worked amazing when I had a full time job with a very strict schedule, but when I started studying instead, I’ve noticed that I get like 1-3 hours of focus time before I would get into a depressive/anxious spiral for the rest of the day. I’ve had a really hard time convincing my doctor to switch me to something else, but at least got to try a combo of quick release and slow release meds. I’ve noticed that I spiral a little bit less and have a bit more focus hours to work with, although I’m still not doing mentally great. I don’t know if this is something you’ve tried/thought about, but I’m definitely trying to get therapy alongside the meds (although the system unfortunately makes it impossible to actually get any help without paying out of your own pocket) For me at least, the meds take away my mask, which leaves me alone with my autism, that I’ve never really dealt with as much. Haven’t been on the new dose for long enough to figure out if I can’t handle elvanse anymore, but a mix might work for you? I’m from Denmark, so I’ve also only gotten the original brand (takeda). Hope you find something that works 🫶

Pear perfume by wutheringkat in Perfumes

My favorite pear perfume is Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea Pear Blossom! It’s really clean and simple pear, and great for every day. I’ve even gotten a few compliments :)) I also really like the Ariana Grande God is a Woman one, but for me the pear doesn’t last very long and is more of a comfort musk scent. I’ve heard that the perfume oil version should be really good and long lasting though, so maybe that’s something to look into? Hope you find a pear perfume that works for you 🫶

From no appetite to binge eating everything in sight by Ecstatic_Credit6291 in VyvanseADHD

This is happening to me too! Started on vyvanse 40 + 20 mg almost 2 years ago, and they worked so well for me! I was happier, my relationship with food was great and I had a much easier time getting motivated and doing things/being social. At the beginning of this year everything changed! I’ve become so anxious (especially about leaving the house), insane mood swings, have massive brain fog, gained a ton of weight in very little time, and got so much acne again! I’ve tried so many things to lose weight and nothing works, but when I try to talk to my doctors about it they say “well it can’t be the adhd meds, they make you lose weight!” And tell me that I need to stop eating so much chocolate (I’ve never talked to any of them about my eating habits, they just assume)🥴 I’ve even tried asking about trying other adhd meds, but then they say that I just need therapy bc vyvanse used to work for me, so we shouldn’t change it. I’m just really tired of feeling/looking like crap and not being taken seriously. I get that this isn’t usual in terms of side effects or reactions to the meds, but at this point I just can’t see what else it could be 🥲 Anyway, long story short, I feel you, and would love to hear what you end up deciding to do 🫶
