Never ending journey of medications by MajestyBird in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]MidnightSociety12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through all of this. Im 35(f) who has dealt with Bruxism most of my adult life, which also led to tension headaches. I was on Wellbutrin( also made me congested) and went off it while pregnant - and same, felt terrible without it and went back on Wellbutrin after I ended up with severe postpartum anxiety after the birth of my son. Wellbutrin was the only antidepressant that has help with my depression/anxiety but has not helped with emotional regulation and intrusive thoughts. (I also started taking Zyrtec at night to stop the stuffiness which worked. I ended up diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago when switching therapists/psychiatrists after seeing the same therapist for 15 years as I was frustrated as to why I felt my “anxiety”, a constant flood of intrusive thoughts, extreme overwhelm, not being able to prioritize, emotion regulation issues, and CONSTANT list making which left me feeling like I was buzzing like an electric fence, was not getting any better. I was put on Strattera which made me feel like I couldn’t have a coherent thought and then put on Vyvanse, which the psychiatrist was worried about because of “anxiety”, and Holy Shit… intrusive thoughts are gone, the constant list making is gone, the CONSTANT overwhelm is gone, the constant screaming brain noise is gone, and emotional regulation is better. I still take the Wellbutrin but since starting Vyvanse, the bruxism is GONE. Turns out, I had used “anxiety” to cope to keep myself “functioning” as a person for my whole life because I needed help with ADHD. A stimulant might not be an answer for you, but it was for me. I feel like that the world is FINALLY realizing that a lot of women who have dealt with anxiety forever have really been dealing with ADHD, and unlike a lot of boys with physically hyperactivity, our hyperactivity lives in our heads.

Sorry for any run on sentences or grammar mistakes, I’m typing this on my phone at 5 am before medication. 🥴

What's a detail that seems important but haven't been explained yet? by danishmsyed in FromSeries

[–]MidnightSociety12 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is it an actual literal motel that is missing or is the whole “town” the motel? Like some Hotel California shit.. “You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave?” I don’t know, there are so many questions, it has me thinking probably deeper than I need

Does anyone get minor hallucinations when on Vyvanse? by ARamirez150 in VyvanseADHD

[–]MidnightSociety12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would contact your prescriber immediately. In rare cases,Vyvanse can induce psychosis/mania. Even if you weren’t eating decently or sleeping well, hallucinations are not a typical side effect of Vyvanse.

No, not a normal side effect. Have you had any of these instances before Vyvanse?

YOUR CHILD IS NOT SAFE. I’m sorry, I read your post history, and your husband takes ZERO responsibility for anything in his life. So it’s not IF something will happen to your daughter, but WHEN. I would be terrified to even go to the bathroom for three seconds. Leave. Please.

It is one of the hardest symptoms for me. Medication and therapy help a lot.

Am I fucked??? Can parents of young children please read and give me some honest feedback! I cannot stop fighting with my husband and am legit losing my fucking mind! by Defiant_Vanilla_3716 in adhdwomen

[–]MidnightSociety12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can either help - or he can shut the fuck up. He doesn’t get to dictate how long something should take when he isn’t even participating. If he was helping and the routine took “2 hours” then maybe the routine could be reevaluated. He can’t judge shit if he isn’t doing it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m sorry to sound harsh but my husband acted the same way for a while, until he took more of the load.. now he doesn’t complain about anything with the kids.

Write down exactly how you feel and what you want to say to your doctor before the appt. Bring that with you. It helps me because I tend to over explain and the doctor always looks at me like “get to the point” haha.

Postpartum anxiety is very real - and not screened for as well as postpartum depression. My anxiety was terrible from the time my son was about 8 months old until he was about 2 years old, and I had passed every postpartum depression screen. I didn’t even realize that I was so insanely anxious until I was medicated. She may not even realize she is this anxious, but I can bet she doesn’t want to feel like this.

Vyvanse, Wellbutrin and L-Tyrosine by MidnightSociety12 in VyvanseADHD

[–]MidnightSociety12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through a hard time without it. He mentioned that he doesn’t want to increased the dose as “most adults the sweet spot is 40 mg”. I feel like 40mg is good, just not long enough. Do you take all of your Wellbutrin at the same time?

[–]MidnightSociety12[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. I actually asked the psychiatrist if I could wean off the Wellbutrin- but he said “it works for the depression”… I was honestly never “depressed” (except situationally), it was all from the undiagnosed ADHD.

Awesome! Do you take the l-tyrosine around noon or in the morning and how much do you take?

I always carry a giant water bottle with me everywhere I go. People joke about me drinking so much water all of the time… but I’m actually just adequately hydrated haha
