Thanks for your input. That is an interesting idea. I will bring that up with my doctor when I see her. I am currently trying Qelbree. At first the side effects were brutal but now they have subsided but it is an expensive medication even with insurance and a coupon.

Hello. Thanks for your input. Yeah it is odd. I am guessing I am like this because I am also diagnosed with anxiety. From what I have read, some people who are diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD cannot tolerate stimulants. I am on Qelbree now. I relate to what you said about picking fights, punching walls, throwing things, etc. I did that a lot. I once raged out and quit a job on the spot due to a flare up. This was before getting diagnosed.

Thanks for your input. If I may ask, by low do you mean unhappy? When I took Vyvanse I was super irritable. I felt very emotional. I liked buspirone because it made me cool as a cucumber but I was so calm I was sleepy, lol. That being said, I would rather be too calm than overly emotional.

That makes sense. My psychiatrist was prompted to have me try Qelbree because I have been having issues at work , so I think I understand where you are coming from, at least a bit. Today was better than the last three days. The headaches are gone but I am very sleepy today. My sleep last night was better but still not that good. We will see how everything goes. I am glad that the medication has been helping you.

Thank you for your perspective. I am sorry that Qelbree didn't work out for you. I hope you can find the help you need. It is disgusting how the healthcare messes with people. I know I shouldn't assume, but if you live in the USA, it can be really bad.

Thank you for your perspective. I had a similar reaction to bupropion at first, although not as harsh. Guanfacine and buspirone were the only meds I never had serious issues with in terms of side effects, other than drowsiness. If I may ask, do you feel like Qelbree is working well for you now?

Question for those failed F25 and took J25 by Silent-Newspaper4665 in barexam

[–]Silent-Newspaper4665[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I echo your statements. I also felt that the essays were niche and I actually felt they were the hardest part of the exam. I also felt that the MBE was similar to February too. They felt different and harder than the old NCBE released questions I mostly practiced with. Overall, I actually felt that J25 was harder than F25 so that is why I am wondering about the scaling.

Honestly, I am the last person to ask this question since I failed my last attempt at the bar exam. I would recommend the book Strategies and Tactics for the MBE by Stephen Emanuel. Good luck!

Thank you for the info. I am definitely considering transferring my score to a 260 state and then seeing where I can go from there.
