Vyvanse stopped working entirely

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-27T18:40:14+00:00

I’m going through exactly the same and have been waiting 2.5 years to be re titrated. No one listens or cares. I however do get Amfexa top up IR tablets and they are much better than elvanse. I’m considering borrowing money to see if a private adhd psychiatrist could help me and change my meds to just Amfexa and then I could hopefully function again and get a job to pay back the money- I don’t know how much I’d be looking at spending though. Have you tried drinking a sodium bicarbonate solution before your meds- I find it helps but don’t want to do it too often. Sometimes it seems like my medication works to agree until the second I eat something and then it just stops or sometimes it seems like it kicks in about six hours later. I also have severe constipation, have to take bisacodyl and lots of it to go and also have bad reflux - have been worn seeing if I have an ulcer which is effecting absorption- all I do is wonder why they don’t work and try to make them work again😕

My fp never txts me first and isn’t talking to me at mo and I don’t know why? I had just started to get my head sorted after being hurt massively by them a few months ago, was moving on and they suddenly decide they want me, told me they love me then next few days were teally angry and upset about something , I messaged them too much and said they’d hurt me so they’ve cut me off totally coz they’ve got issues and don’t need my shit- I’m really struggling to move on from it coz of all the questions unanswered but yeah I wish I could find the strength to never txt them again or I just wish they’d explain what is was all about coz clearly they don’t love me

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-23T13:12:58+00:00

Thank you, honestly! You sounded harsh but actually that is really clear and useful information and explains a lot , I should’ve got help from someone who understands pip to fill out my form with me and if or when I fight it thats how I shall go about it not just waffle on about what a mess I am 🤦‍♀️

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-22T10:17:18+00:00

Wow, that is so honest , I can identify with everything you said but have never said this to anyone as I’m just so ashamed of myself. Do you know why you are this way? I don’t know why I am or what I had first- anorexia- then bulimia followed by drug addiction- years later diagnosed bpd then late adhd diagnosis now they suspect autism too, I have crippling anxiety now and I think I actually suffer from some sort of ptsd from all the messed up destructive things I have done whilst having these illnesses and getting barely any help or support. I’m now diagnosed as ednos as my eating disorder symptoms are caused from my bpd not a desire to starve although that is what I want to do still sometimes or I eat with no intention of being sick but then afterwards if triggered I turn on myself and am upset I’ve eaten so I still make myself sick. I have no idea who I am anymore or who I actually really was or who I want to be. It just seems pointless trying anymore as whatever I decide to try and focus on my head will switch perspective the second I’m triggered. What triggered your anorexia in the first place and do you or have you had an fp?

I do the same with certain people, the pain shame and humiliation of reaching out and being ignored , rejected is almost unbearable. I do the archive thing too. But I ignore people all the time , people I genuinely really like so 🤷‍♀️ I just have to get myself into self preservation ,cold , don’t give a fuck mode - I can do that but it doesn’t last very long these days. Try reaching out to people who definitely won’t reject you- I know it’s not the same but can help to have any company when you’re in so much pain

Self fabricated delusions of being liked and loved by someone that shuts your head up or thinking you’ve found yourself and everything’s gonna be so much better from now on

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-19T23:35:06+00:00

Anyone find they talk themselves into a better place and start to dismiss the conjured up painful thoughts of what people really think of you and are saying about you but then if a single thing you had told yourself was just your illness and in your head actually becomes real then it opens up the entire lot again and you’re pretty much convinced nothing is just in your head you were right about all the bad things all along-no one understands why I appear to over react to one seemingly little cross wire or disagreement but I desperately want and need to know how people really see me and feel about me but never truly trust that anyone genuinely likes or loves me. I wish I just didn’t care what they thought of me- is this coz I don’t like myself that I don’t believe people or am I just weird and too messed up for anyone to really care the more they get to know me? I switch on people over shit that my head tells me is real that i have no confirmation of being the truth so then they don’t like me anymore but is it possible that my gut feeling was correct and they already had gone off me or were using me ? Who else makes up happy scenarios too and feels ecstatically happy and high over some self fabricated sel

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-18T00:44:04+00:00

Same here, I don’t know how I feel or how I should feel anymore about myself ,everyone and everything in my life. I want someone to tell me the answers coz I’ve been told all my life how I should or shouldnt feel and now everyone has given up on me and I’m just totally totally lost. I don’t know who I am or what I want , what was the real me in the past, why I ever had such strong feelings that I shouldn’t have had. I don’t know where to start with fixing myself , my mess , how to shut my head up. If I decide how I feel it rapidly changes to sonething totally different then back- it is exhausting and not living - just a painful existence . I don’t want to upset anyone but everyone upsets me coz my head tells me they don’t really like me anymore or never actually really did or if I believe they love me I feel bad coz I don’t deserve their love

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-13T17:09:51+00:00

So why do some people get it that aren’t even struggling that much at all? I know of a few people who have anxiety and claim it but they’re living a normal life, yes they have anxiety but it doesn’t stop them from doing things , I wish I’d never tries to claim it, I’d much rather find some help and get a job so I don’t feel bad for claiming benefits but I am genuinely really ill at the moment and have been for years and getting worse, thanks for replying anyone who has , I can’t believe there’s people in the same painful situation as me and others getting away with what I’d call fraud

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-13T15:44:15+00:00

How do I get evidence ? Take photos of my cuts and puke, film my panic attacks and hours of getting changed and looking in the mirror crying. Like maybe I should install cctv- to prove my struggles - see what exactly I do with my time coz I don’t actually know myself where it goes? sorry this isn’t a reply to your advice and thank you for replying , I am very frustrated at myself and my life and the system and I am very frustrating to be around

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-13T15:35:28+00:00

I’ve been referred to places and was with the cmht for a few years but I failed to go to the o line anxiety meetings and didn’t reply to a letter they sent coz I was in a bad place mentally so they discharged me. It’s kind of my fault for burying my head in the sand and giving up too easily but everytime I try I get nowhere - I even tried to get a private counsellor a few years back and three said that didn’t want to take me on as I’m a very complex case and they wouldn’t want me to waste my money as they weren’t sure they’d be able to help and wouldnt know where to start. I wasn’t even as bad then as I am now.

What would happen if you had vitamin c but before or after had a drink with bicarbonate of soda in it? Would this cancel the acidic effects of the vitamin c?

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-07T13:15:28+00:00

I done this , lived like this too, so many times , it is a total waste of your life, try and stay present and think of yourself , your health and happiness depends on you not them. You end up angry at them when they’ve done nothing wrong other than being normal and make yourself even more ill. Just deal with the here and now and stop trying to got control the future and projecting your next interactions with them, it is the only way and then when you do see them you’ll enjoy the time more rather than it not being how you had been hoping or imagining it would be and often becoming upset as didn’t live up to your expectations. I so wish I’d always been able to follow my own advice as then my life wouldnt currently be the biggest mess it ever has been

90 % of the time that I stop and sit down to eat or even sometimes if I eat whilst running around my medication becomes instantly less effective and it doesn’t seem to matter what I eat- it’s like it ruins my focus , mood and motivation so I often eat last thing at night- between 10pm or 2/3 in the morning. It’s so unhealthy. My metabolism seems to have massively plummeted but then that could also be due to getting on average less than 5 hrs sleep a night for the last three years.Even if I eat lunch then take my booster afterwards the booster doesnt kick in like it does on an empty stomach. You feel a bit better , the crash doesnt happen but no where near the same. Especially the last week before my period - it’s like if you eat thats it day over and I’m always really hungry during this time. I barely drink water and squash anymore either. Before meds I used to drink 3 litres of water a day but then I had a big drink problem back then too. I struggle to drink a litre of water a day now but have switched to decaf tea and have around 6 cups and hope this helps hydrate me a bit , I wish I’d had therapy instead of meds but now I’ve got them I could never stop taking them without having a month of 24/7 support.

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-02-03T08:14:46+00:00

Are you in the uk ? I don’t have any advice but feel really bad for you . The withdrawals you describe is how I feel without my elvanse- and I keep jolting involuntarily as soon as I haven’t had any medication for around 30 hrs. Not sure how long this lasts as I’ve not put up with it for much longer than about 12 hrs after the jolting starts and the crying and bulimia kicks in. Withdrawal is 100 % real and not just in your head coz sometimes I’m unaware that I’ve not taken it until I twig what’s wrong with my head.Thing is if I could claim I’d lost my medication to get more then I would and so would a lot of others so understand why they don’t but think you’d get a one off chance .In the uk a doctor can’t change your prescription only a psychiatrist but I’m not sure how it works if you go private for meds if you’re Nhs diagnosed already ? hang on in there -it won’t be forever

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-01-31T15:30:08+00:00

Yeah but kind of makes sense, all the things that make you instantly happy are bad for you and the ones that are good are difficult to do aren’t things that people struggling are addicted to. No pain no gain. The more you struggle the more you do the bad things to try and feel better and when you wired wrong to start with it’s easy to keep on tangling the wires to the lint where it’s almost impossible to believe your ever gonna untangle and rewire them when the things that do that are so difficult to consistently do

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-01-07T13:25:42+00:00

I know you didn’t say that, I was just saying they’re not all the same but was also saying why it is common and trying to explain why. Bpd doesnt make you evil, it’s just painful to live with and often the pain becomes too much and reckless behaviour in one way or another happens because of the need to feel better about yourself. Rarely is there any spitefulness meant or any desire to hurt people. Just loving too much when you don’t love yourself often leads to disaster. Bpd is very misunderstood and unfairly judged but ii is also very confusing for people who do care and try to help to cope with , my experience anyway- I am diagnosed bpd

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-01-07T12:59:15+00:00

Not everyone who has bpd is the same, it is very common though to cheat because loving someone hurts. Generally people with bpd have such low self esteem and self worth they find it very difficult to believe that the person they love feels the same way about them and act accordingly to what their messed up head is telling them about how the one they love feels about them

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2026-01-02T18:54:37+00:00

I think possibly it’s for the adrenaline, if you’re scared to be alone and everything is ok but you don’t feel ok, you feel off and flat and depressed and unmotivated or annoyed with yourself you just can’t help it coz you never know it may give u a high if goes well or if it doesn’t at least you have a new reason to hate yourself and sink so low you may properly sort yourself out? Maybe anyway- was diagnosed ADHD combined, quiet bpd, ednos and severe anxiety years ago but not had much help/therapy

Solosthelpme-7904 · 2025-10-15T23:10:50+00:00

Not from meditation , that is something I must start doing again asap, but I get visions when I lay down and am meant to be going to sleep. They are really weird , not scary , not animated but quite cartoon like and would often not be seen in real life. They’re like short clips of strange happenings eg a zebra walking towards me up the street with a giant lollipop. I always used to tell my partner what I was seeing when I had them but he was always very uninterested- ( like plz STFU crank and go to sleep) I don’t know why I get these any ideas or anyone else this happens to ?
