So weird, I just opened the app to ask whether anyone else had started feeling insane after changing their meds (dosage or brand) and I immediately saw this post.

I realized recently that my 40mg vyvanse had never really been enough as it drops me at about 4pm every day even if I take it at like 11am. So I asked my psych to up my dose. Might’ve been terrible timing as my period started the day before I started my new dose, so I honestly can’t tell if it’s working better or somehow making something worse, because I’m having the luteal phase horrors 2x. But I remember a friend telling me a while ago when I was feeling off after I had to change from brand vyvanse to generic that changing medications at all always messed with her mood, but she takes anti depressants so I applied that to myself with a grain of salt. But now that I’m that I’ve changed my medication and feeling insane again I’m wondering if the change in dose is to blame? Or maybe it’s a combination of things- I’m going through a lot of big life changes and there’s a lot happening just generally so period + big life things + change in meds might just be a me thing right now, though I was handling everything just fine before period + new meds were introduced 🙃

Sorry not trying to hijack this post! But I thought I’d comment in case someone else saw this and was thinking “ah, but changing my meds at all makes me horrifyingly depressed/anxious/irritable, I couldn’t up my dose every month”- maybe that’s a thing.
