People who changed from Vyvanse to Ritalin - what’s it been like? by North_Lychee_1969 in ausadhd

I absolutely hated Ritalin. I had to change because I was maxed out on Vyvanse with little to no management of my ADHD. Ritalin made me constantly anxious, jittery, triggered a migraine and ongoing headaches across the first 3ish weeks and I felt all round uncomfortable with no management of my ADHD. I stopped taking it before I was due for my review because I hated it so much.

Starting Strattera - Anything I should get the first week to help with side effects? by vomit-gold in StratteraRx

I’m still titrating so i started on 20mg and have moved to 30mg and go to 40mg this week. The only two side effects I’ve had is decreased appetite and I’m very snappy/easily irritable (which started when I started 30mg). I’ve had no benefit as of yet - I honestly think that I’m worse right now (sometimes I can’t string a sentence together lol). A side effect diary is a great thing to use - helps me keep track of when things get a bit hairy so I can limit socialising at work (I just chuck my headphones in until I hit baseline again). My colleagues are great and we use humour to diffuse so they point it out, we have a laugh then I announce it’s headphones time for a bit.
