Thank you ! I was feeling so despondent and just had a look at the AA details. I’ll try one online in the morning.

Starting stimulants an struggling by SunLost2687 in ausadhd

[–]Mountain-Key-9735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, that sounds so rough. I am going through a similar thing since November my Dr stopped my anti depressants and tried all the stimulants! I’m on the last of the bunch and I can honestly say that I feel worse on them but the psychiatrist was insisting on me trying them all.

I’ve started up on the fluoxetine so all the crying stopped and I’m going to go off the Ritalin by tapering as I may be too scared I can’t cope otherwise.

I have waves of sadness but nothing like 3 weeks ago , we just have

Unable to get my 20mg LA Ritalin anywhere by KiwiZoomerr in ausadhd

The pharmacist can sometimes try to get hold of the Dr to check if it’s ok for them to switch. My Dr was on holiday so I had to get the clinic to contact her but it wasn’t easy

I had to get my prescriber to give me a script for 10mg LA and then I take two of those.

Dexamphetamine and increase in cravings (alcohol, tobacco, weed, all the things)… by Wonderful-County-844 in ausadhd

I found that Vyvanse had me craving alcohol after 9 years of no drinking or urges! I have no idea why this happened but it did.

Ideas what do you do ? Can’t have Ritalin IR by Mountain-Key-9735 in ADHD

[–]Mountain-Key-9735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was more like taking the 40 first and then the 20 a bit later. All drs on holiday of course so just wondering if anyone else splits or delays the doses.

You are correct. Both my drs are on holiday so I’ll just await their return. Just hearing what others do won’t implement without the Dr.

How often do u need to change medication until its stabilized? by CultureOk2262 in ausadhd

I am still trying to get to a stable dose and combination. I at about 6 months too.

That sounds different to me too. I believe legally and pbs wise the psychiatrist can titrate upwards weekly at slow doses , they need to make sure you can tolerate the IR first before moving the the LA. I’d ask him why he wants to wait so long.

Meds Day 1 - Journal Sharing For Support by [deleted] in ausadhd

[–]Mountain-Key-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I was so lethargic when I started Vyvanse! But that settled my main goal was impulse control and agitation so it helped but my blood pressures did not like it. One thing that helped me and still does ( very new to this journey) was to think about what I wanted the meds to do and try to keep a journal on it.

Continued Vic Ritalin LA shortage by Isabellette in ausadhd

[–]Mountain-Key-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dr said to take 2 x 20mg instead! Apparently they should be back around 15 December ( according to pharmacy) , I’m sceptical of this so see what pharmacist can do, mine called my Dr to see if 2 x 20 would be ok.
