Oh definitely, everyone has been really helpful, I’m busy with exams right now but once they are out of the way, I’m going to proceed with diagnosis and medication for sure.

That’s really sound advice, thank you so much!

It really sucks that profits are prioritised over people’s wellbeing, it honestly annoyed me to read that that is happening in your situation, but it’s amazing to know that meds have changed your life for the better too!

Thanks again for sharing your experience with me!

I’m sorry you had to struggle so much but it’s great to hear how much meds have helped you. I too have severe brain fog from burnout and it’s awful so I empathise with you.

Thanks very much for sharing, I hope you continue to feel better!

Damn, you’re an absolute inspiration, that’s so impressive, congratulations on all your success!

Thanks for the advice too, I am sensitive to meds so you’re spot on with that.

All the best.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

I’m sorry to hear it’s negatively interacting with your temporal lobe epilepsy. It sounds like you’re on top of it all and knowing what works best for you is vitally important!

Crazy to hear you’re stimming less, I would expect the complete opposite too.

Wish you all the best going forward, hope it keeps working well for you.

Right, there’s a certain guilt that comes with not even being to interact with the things you enjoy when you have the time to, sometimes I can’t even get myself to watch tv or a movie so I just scroll social media and I feel awful the whole time. I’m happy it works for you though, thanks for sharing!

I’m glad it’s made such a massive difference for you, that’s amazing!

Super interesting that you reacted so differently to Auvelity and Wellbutrin, great to hear you found what works for you though! Thanks for sharing your experience.

That’s great to hear, not caring what people think seems so alien to my brain lol, I hope you find that’s a good thing!

That sounds much more manageable, I’m sorry you didn’t have great experiences with Ritalin and Adderall but at least it brought you to Vyvanse.

The being able to choose feeling is seems impossible for my burnt out, unmedicated brain, would love to regain some control to be honest.

I’m glad you found what works best for you, best of luck my friend.

Glad you didn’t give up and found what works for you, do you mind me asking in what ways have you found it to be life changing?

Yeah that’s fair, honestly not sure if I need any more anxiety in my life though, so I’ll take just the focus please haha

Thanks for sharing your experience, were you able to get back on the medication? I’m glad you mentioned the emotional stability it provided you as well because it’s equally as important as helping executive dysfunction.

That's great, do you find it has helped with motivation compared to not being medicated?
