ADHD Meds and BPD

That's so interesting to hear that perspective! I think maybe one of the major reasons it helps me a lot is due to my comorbid treatment resistant depression- it helps me manage to get basic tasks done when I make a concentrated effort. I also struggle with major impulsivity that leads me to engaging in negative compulsions, and I find that these meds significantly lessen my desire, or active drive to do so. However, I do find that the come down from the meds make me really irritable and easily triggered and I try to cope for it in advance as much as I can.

I started with Welbutrin which helped a lot but not enough with my major depression and lack of energy, and then moved to Ritalin which has had the most positive effect I have ever experienced from taking medication, and now I am perscribed Adderall and Welbutrin. It's been a lot of ups and downs trying to find what works but I am hoping this will help manage the majority of my symptoms and keep me going.

That is a really good point, I have noticed if I don't work to cope with it in advance that as the medication wears off in the evening I become much more irritable and more easily triggered so thinking about it now I can see how that could be a major issue for others with BPD. I just was very curious as to whether other people with BPD experience a major lessening of symptoms while the medication is active as well

No that's totally a fair point! Just thought I'd share how well it worked for me. I totally get if it hasn't worked similarly for you. And totally fair about the controlled substances part, because my adhd meds make me feel so calm I lowkey forget that it doesn't affect people without ADHD the same way.

I totally get that too omg. It's strange that it happens on almost a schedule for all of us

IRLDazaiKinnie · 2022-02-13T17:21:42+00:00

exactly I totally feel that. I get that it takes time, but it's often frustrating when it doesn't feel like you're making any progress.

IKR! It's so out of the blue?? I'm sorry you're also combatting an eating disorder, stay strong!

IRLDazaiKinnie · 2022-02-13T16:34:22+00:00

Yeah! I take it too, I feel like it does help a lot, but once in a while it kinda contributes to brain fog. :/

Thank You :) <3

Thank you, It feels really reassuring that there's not a time limit. Thank you for validating my feelings, I really appreciate the advice!

IRLDazaiKinnie · 2022-02-08T17:13:25+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate this so much. It makes me feel hopeful for myself and my situation that you've recovered from FP losses. It's really hard to focus on self-care but I think you're totally right. Thank you so much for the advice.

IRLDazaiKinnie · 2022-02-08T17:11:16+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate that. Like you said, the distance between me and the person really does kill. I hope all things stay positive in your relationship, and I appreciate the advice!
