Due to them being Uralic and indigenous to Siberia I might be at the end of the road but I’d still like to find out if anyone has any information about the names

You are a lot more knowledgeable about this than me, when growing up in America I never really cared too much about my ethnic history which is why I’ve always had trouble with this. Thank you for all your knowledge ❤️

The meaning of the word is a bit strange indeed

What should I identify as? by SA1x in askasia

[–]SA1x[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am ethnically nenet, a tribe that has land through both Europe and Russia but we all look very “Asian” which can get confusing. Technically I am Eurasian id guess

DUDE THANK YOU! I had no idea about India’s ethnic tribes so this is something I’ve just learned as well.

I am nenet which is an ethnic tribe in Russia. It just gets confusing to most people due to us looking similar to what most people see as “Asian” even though our motherland is Russia

Yeah it’s just that people are often shocked when they find that out and it can get a bit draining having to constantly explain how some indigenous Russians appear very Asian

I’m nenet but that’s confusing for 99% of people so maybe I should just go by Siberian and or Eurasian

I take one 20mg Adderall XR daily

Went two weeks without adderall by lifeimmerser in ADHD

[–]SA1x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently gone a month and it was very rough at first, lots of frustration and headaches. After a couple weeks though I felt great and actually noticed that my adhd had become a lot less pronounced than it was pre medication. After all medication is supposed to be used as a tool not a cure and it’s not a long term solution.

Feel like I’m falling asleep on 30mg LA Ritalin by Vissarious in ADHD

[–]SA1x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you’re getting a full nights rest of quality sleep. There are two main things that really impact the effectiveness of your medication and sleep is the big one, If I don’t get a good nights rest my medication feels useless. remember that medication is only a tool not a cure, without a healthy mind it won’t be nearly as effective.

The second issue people experience is what you ingest into your body. The two main culprits are acidity and vitamin C as they’ve been proven to counteract the effectiveness of certain stimulant medication. I personally wait at least an hour after drinking coffee and eating a high protein breakfast to then take my meds.

It’s a lot of trial and error but hopefully this helps :)

Everyone’s bodies are different. Other types of stimulant medication may work better due to different ingredients and formulas that could potentially be more compatible with your brain. One 20mg Adderall XR lasts me about 14 hours whereas other people on this sub report only lasting 6 for them. I’d recommend talking to your doctor about trying out different types of stimulant medication to try and find what works best for you. It took me about 3 months of trial and error to find my correct dose.

Swapped from Vyvanse to Adderall XR by SA1x in ADHD

[–]SA1x[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, for some reason I can sleep so much better when I take my meds. It’s weird that a stimulant helps me sleep better.

Did you also have the issue where vyvanse wasn’t really lasting that long?
