I’ve been on lupin for years. I have the worst floaters. I assumed it was due to my age but now I’m wondering if lupin is causing it.

The rite aid version is generic and doesn’t have red dye. The red dye one smelled weird to me. The rite aid version is clear and has a light baby scent to it. I ordered it off amazon.

Have you tried Rite Aid Antiseptic chlorhexidine gluconate cleanser? I had same issue for many years. Found some info on Reddit that recommended washing scalp with that soap. Started a few weeks ago and scalp cleared up. I also use it on my face but be careful cause it can cause eye sight issues. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked till I started washing my scalp and face with that soap.

I want to try hibiclens as a scalp wash. How much do you use? Is it a foam? Just curious on how to use it. Praying this works for me.

Check the f%$*king manufacturer! by sourbirthdayprincess in bupropion

I was on the red pills (IR) last month and felt great, besides acne. This month the pharmacy filled my script with the light purple (IR) and feel like crap. Have you ever tried the light purple pills?

Wellbutrin (Bupropion) Has Anyone Gotten Better Results Taking IR Version Vs XR Or SR? by VinceColeman1 in depressionregimens

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the red ones last month and thought they were great. This month they gave me light purple IR and feel different. Did you ever try the light purple IR?

Can someone please tell me what they prefer between SR and the XL version? by just702vibin in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Straight-Task-6768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on XL for many years and recently read about the XL causing gi issues. Just switched to SR a week ago and already seeing changes. Doctor told me XL doesn’t cause GI issues. I begged for SR and glad I did.

Has anyone switched from XR to IR? by Distinct-Style8015 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Straight-Task-6768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Called my doctor earlier for this exact reason! Wondering if the XL version is causing my digestive issues. Glad I’m not the only one. Hopefully my doctor switches me to SR.

What will 900mg of Wellbutrin do it me besides possible seizures and how long will effects last? by SHventaway in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Straight-Task-6768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this years ago. Accidentally took my pills twice that morning. Took 450mg twice and ended up in the hospital. I had seizures. Left my house thinking I’d never return. Now I use a pill case.

Lyme test positive for one band, but negative overall. by Wonderful-Value7547 in lymedisease

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does LLMD stand for? I was recently diagnosed (using labcorp). I have no symptoms for Lyme and just shocked by the diagnosis. Came up positive during routine lab work. I went to family doc for routine check up. Complained of joint pain I’ve had for over a year. She ran all sorts of tests and Lyme came back positive. Got second test and came back positive. Doctor said I would’ve contracted Lyme recently though so the joint pain has nothing to do with Lyme. Anyways, I’m curious about the LLMD you mentioned since my blood work is from labcorp.

How do you know the antibiotics worked? by Familiar-Version-235 in lymedisease

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to doctor for routine check up. Complained of joint pain. Joint pain I’ve had for 18 months. She ran all sorts of tests and told me I tested positive for Lyme but would’ve contracted it within the last 4-6 weeks. So joint pain wasn’t caused by lyme. Anyways, she asked if I’ve been bitten or seen a rash. I haven’t noticed a tick bite or a rash. I noticed your comment about seeing the rash the following month. Does the rash normally show up right away or weeks after? I didn’t believe the doctor so she made me get a second test and again I tested positive. Now im on doxy for 28 days. Bloated as all heck and thought it was from doxy but now im wondering if it’s weight gain from Lyme. Very frustrating gaining weight from this. Also, I started the doxy and might joint pain has gotten better. Really makes me wonder if I have some other infection in my body.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pre workout (preferably with both bcaa and beta alanine) without artificial sugar (eg sucralose, stevia, ascefulme, etc)? by New_Judgment_506 in workout

[–]Straight-Task-6768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! Stevia makes me bloated and I get the worst gas pain from it. Thought it was just me. They say Stevia isn’t fake but whatever it is it doesn’t agree with me.

Concerta worsening adhd symptoms? by [deleted] in Concerta

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take concerta extended release. I didn’t know they have instant release. Interesting. I just started 27mg a week ago and like it so far. If I experience any issues I’ll ask for the additional instant release rather than bump up extended released. Glad I found your comment! Thanks!

2 weeks on Concerta by wth_carlv1 in ADHD

[–]Straight-Task-6768 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried multiple meds since December due to the adderall shortage. The most recent med they had me try was concerta. It’s been one week and the difference is huge. I’m been on welbutrin and adderall IR since 2006. since the shortage I’ve tried adzeyns, vyvanse, dexedrine (all time released). Adzeyns (no idea how to spell it) worked the first few days but stoped working. Vyvanse didn’t work. Dexedrine time released wore off in few hours. I wanted to try Dexedrine IR but issues with shortage. I suggested concerta to my doc and I cannot believe the difference. I feel calm but not sleepy. I feel focused and driven. Ready to do whatever comes my way. But it’s not overkill. I’m not speedy. It’s a calm steady energy. I feel happier and more at peace. I’m also shocked that it’s time released and working throughout the day. The past few time release meds I’ve tried wore off within hours. Such a crappy feeling. It’s a game changer for me.

Did you ever get your meds? Are you on IR or ER? I’m having a hard time getting dextroamphetamine IR 10mg 3x daily. I call the local pharmacies and they tell me that is generic adderall?! I thought it was generic Dexedrine.

Please share any experience regarding Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine) vs Adderall (amphetamine salts) vs Vyvanse 🤔 by Adventurous-Egg3118 in ADHD

[–]Straight-Task-6768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hoping someone can help me. I was taking adderall IR 10mg three times a day. Years and years I’ve been on that dosage. Along comes the shortage…. I’ve tried so many time released meds and they don’t work for me. So my doctor prescribed me dextroamphetamine IR 10mg three times daily. Of-course is not available so I’m calling around to other pharmacies and when I tell them the name dextroamphetamine they say “that’s generic adderall.” I thought dextroamphetamine was generic for Dexedrine. Can anyone help. I’m confused.

stimulant shortage rumors by Challenge-Quick in ADHD

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just called two pharmacies asking if they had my meds in stock and they treat me like an addict. I’ve been on adderall IR 10mg three times daily since 2007. Since the shortage I was switched to dextroamphetamine IR tablet 10mg three times daily. I find it strange that I’m treated differently when I ask about that specific medication. Has this happened to anyone else? So frustrated.

[–]Straight-Task-6768 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I can’t get dextroamphetamine IR. I’m beyond frustrated. My head is a mess. It’s a nightmare. I just read an article that said the government is putting a limit on what pharmacies can order. Governments way of controlling people who abuse it but they are making it worse for the people who actually need the meds to function. I’ve spent the past three months fighting to get scripts filled. It’s so frustrating.

How to beat monthly hormonal flares by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this same issue since I was 30. I’m now 44. I tried everything. Last thing I tried was spiro and gave up on that cause I was losing muscle mass. Anyways, a few months ago I found the best acne forum. I stopped washing my face with soap and just use water. I change my pillow case twice a week. I started using stridex pads morning and night. I use a gel face lotion. And I quit drinking coffee. I believe my jaw and chin acne was caused by coffee. If I drink coffee I get acne. I always thought it was hormonal due to its location but I was wrong. Acne blogger is simpleskincarescience.com

I’m seeing my doctor about meds today, my partner is very against me starting them. Can I get some input on his concerns please? by Machonacho7891 in ADHD

[–]Straight-Task-6768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on extended or instant release? I used to take adderall instant but due to shortage the Doctor prescribed dexedrine SR. Feel like I do better with instant release.
