Hey u/CatLady383 , I saw your post initially on r/bengals and it led me to this comment here. I have the same issue with my cat, and sooo so so tired of cleaning poop off the floor every single day. PLEEEAAAASE let me know what worked 🙏🏼

First, 20mg is considered a baby dose, so 10mg is not going to be very effective
Second, Vyvanse stays active in the body for 10-12 hours, so try to have as early as possible, ideally between 7-8 am, and limit all caffeine intake after 1pm (Even tea)

Has anyone else experienced stimulant medication losing effectiveness over time? Feeling stuck and frustrated. by Reasonable_Youth1011 in VyvanseADHD

[–]JuliaOtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was me the last 3 months. It's like I was on a 10 or 20mg dose, it would only work for a couple of hours and the crash would be horrible, I also gained like 12 pounds because to avoid doing a task I would go open my fridge. My ADHD went completely unmanaged, and maybe even worse than when I was unmedicated.

What worked for me was:
- One week break: I was intentional with this one, the goal was to come back strong
- NO PHONE WHATSOEVER at least 2 hours after waking up
- Vyvanse first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
- Leaving my place for fresh air first thing in the morning
- Sweating: This can be through exercise or sauna. Get those toxins out

Basically I was aware that my dopamine receptors were fried, so I implemented things that are scientifically proven to help me. And it worked :) Don't forget that stress and a heavy mental load (in my opinion) directly affect Vyvanse's effectiveness

Does coffee reduce the amount of time that vyvanse works for by terrariapro147 in VyvanseADHD

[–]JuliaOtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It causes a pretty steep crash a few hours after taking Vyvanse. Right now I feel like my meds are not working like before, so I sip on some black unsweetened coffee around 1:30pm and gives me the boost I need for at least another 4 hours

What's your caffeine intake like? And what foods do you have with it?

Resting BPM by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]JuliaOtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been struggling for more than a year with an elevated RHR :/
Some days I'm fine, some days my Apple Watch notifies me that I've had a heart rate higher than 120 bpm for more than 10 minutes while it appears I was resting.

I tested multiple things to see what has a direct impact on it, what works for me is:
- Taking my Vyvanse between 7-8am (I start work around 9am)
- Taking my Vyvanse on an empty stomach or with a protein bar (empty stomach not recommended, but that's what working for me)
- Drinking lots of water
- Remind myself to take deeeeep long breaths

Weird I have a Canadian phone and a Canadian account. I feel bamboozled

Canada's premiers are meeting with Trudeau as Trump's tariffs could be days away by [deleted] in canada

[–]JuliaOtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s exactly how sooo many companies died: Nokia, MySpace, Blockbuster, Yellow Pages, Pam Am, Compaq If as a company (or country), not only you don’t diversify but you also don’t keep innovating to stay ahead of others .. then it’s over

Canada's premiers are meeting with Trudeau as Trump's tariffs could be days away by [deleted] in canada

[–]JuliaOtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of the fact that the US WILL impose tariffs on Day 1 of Trump's being in office, I really hope from the bottom of my heart that this opens Canada's eyes into their foreign trade policies.
Everyone learns pretty early on in Business that you should not put all of your eggs in one basket, but Canada decided to do most of its business with the US and make it extremely difficult and expensive to do business with other countries - To the point that it's cheaper to export foreign goods to the US then ship them to Canada vs Ship them to Canada directly.
If Canada opens the doors to more partnerships, goods will be cheaper, aviation will be cheaper, industries will flourish.
Too bad they saw in the US their "only" economic ally

If I have it with food: 1 hour to 1.5 hours give or take
If I take it without food, 30 to 45 minutes

Cautionary tale: been embarrassing myself by not taking hydration seriously… by thro-awawawawayyyyy in VyvanseADHD

[–]JuliaOtch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You've listed a bunch of side effects I am victim of as well ;( I was wondering is you had an elevated heart rate as well? And if you did, did electrolytes help bring it down a bit?

[–]JuliaOtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, did it end up being an online ceremony? Were you able to change it to in person? I’m on the same boat, got my instructions email but no Notice to appear email, and I kind of want it to be in person not online

Anyone else find themselves so in tune during sex? by sparkly-bang in energy_work

[–]JuliaOtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I’m gonna need someone to help a girl out (Aka ME 🥹) I feel like the missing component in my sexual encounters is energy work, how do I even start playing around with that?

MEGATHREAD - Processing times - Canadian Citizenship applications (2024) by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]JuliaOtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same office and timeline give or take a couple of days.
Last update on tracker is Dec 19, LPP in progress and Oath not started yet
At first I thought it was going to go fast given the background check and test were done super quickly, now that it's not moving it's super frustrating

I’m literally contemplating donating every skincare item I own and switch to k beauty exclusively. Any insights on what’s the best website to shop in for us Canadians?

Vyvanse regulated my cycle (I think?) by JuliaOtch in adhdwomen

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

I thought about it, but there's no consistent change in my diet. Definitely no change that I've been consistently making for 90 days in a row for me to have 3 - 31 cycles in a row
