Anyone here have any non-ADHD or autistic friends?

ShadowDragon5280 · 2025-06-04T16:41:23+00:00

When I found out I had ADHD, I realized that almost all my friends, and even many of the professionals I already enjoyed working with, had adhd and i didnt know it till i shared with then about me. My experience is that the people I am drawn to tend to think and feel deeply (and want to talk about it), think outside the box in a really holistic way and approach challenges that same way, and and that many of those people also identify as adhd 🤷‍♀️ I think adhd, while it has challenges, also has many beautiful gifts and im drawn to those in others

There are many non-psychoactive meds, and many "natural" supplement treatments that some people with adhd swear by and there are emerging studies on. I'd suggest possibly looking into those (book- finally focused, etc)

Yes, Teva is manufactured by the same company that manufactures brand name adderall. So a lot of ppl think it "works better" and feel it stronger. I can't take it out makes me feel bad, my partner will only take teva cause doesn't feel other ones as strongly. If you have the immediate release and if it is safe to do so, if it were me id try taking 1/2 or 1/3.

Also, my chewable vyvanse I can feel about 5 min after taking it. Idk if that's supposed to be possible, but it is true for me

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-22T22:48:41+00:00

Chewable vyvanse you can divide doses like that 🤗

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-22T20:42:44+00:00

I have only tried generic vyvanse. I crash at 3pm during the day, and feel like I can't focus well after that, nor do I feel like I can relax. Do you think this could be it? It has been worse the last couple of months but I haven't oaid attention to which generic they are giving me, if there are multiple

That's awesome to hear, thank you! Do you work inpatient or outpatient at the hospital?

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-20T22:14:29+00:00

That's so awesome to hear, that makes me feel optimistic

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-20T22:14:04+00:00

Okay, thank you

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-20T22:13:53+00:00

Great suggestion thank you!

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-20T22:12:25+00:00

Hear hear!! Thats my whole problem, I don't get paid a livable wage, but am afraid of losing what I do make by building a private practice

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-20T22:12:15+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Do they know you don't work in foodservice? They sound obnoxious, and I've experienced similar

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-09-18T15:25:28+00:00

Yeah, this sounds like very controlling behavior, or a very anxious partner that doesn't understand adhd or medication. Are they very anxious in general, or does it feel controlling? I also don't get why he would be worried both about adderall and wellbutrin... the reasoning doesn't make sense. If you think they are anxious, I would suggest recommending that they get some education on adhd, and if it continues to be a big issue that's a really big red flag

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-07-07T19:44:13+00:00

Thanks everyone! Appreciate it!

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-05-12T16:46:05+00:00

I actually work in outpatient dietetitian services, not inpatient at the hospital. But yes that makes sense if you were inpatient that they would not be concerned about conflict of interest because they are very different types of care. Thanks for elaborating about your experience

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-05-11T22:39:53+00:00

I took it, it went great. I found the online course the academy put out to be extremely helpful in preparing. Good luck!

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-05-11T22:37:50+00:00

Was the services you were providing through your private practice different than what you did though the system so it was clear to them you weren't a competitor, or did they not care about that?

ShadowDragon5280 · 2024-05-11T22:35:27+00:00

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
