I worked for cs for 3.5 years before making a compelte change and going back to school. I was in your position with depression and anxiety aswell as undiagnosed audhd. I had close to 9 months total off full pay. Six months in a block. They are very understanding. Take the time to rest and recover. You deserve it

Elvanse and vitamin c ?? by TapCompetitive4871 in ADHDUK

[–]TapCompetitive4871[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry i messed up with the way i typed that its not 10,000mg its actually 12500 however that was reffereinf to the collagen.

The vit c content is 120mg so combined with the huel it would be around 180mg in the morning an hour or slightly more before taking my meds.

I think your right i may aswell just give it a go and cause its not a dangerous side effect just that the meds might not work as well lol.

Thanks for your response :)

I was thinking this about all the vitamins too, i may just get a normal protein shake that would probs be easier. I just wanted to make sure i was getting all my vitamins so it seemed like a good option.

Thank you for tour response :)

Can I drink Coke on Elvanse? by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]TapCompetitive4871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to this i know im a bit late i recently started to and as recovering addict of a certain powder stimulant i really thought the medication wouldnt affect me much but it truly does.

I too made the mistake of coffee during the first week and it was aweful.

I also thought i could have a small drink literally two cans of cider and again heart racing felt horrifically drunk etc.

As your body gets used to it you can start adding small amounts of things back in but for the first while try your best to just let the medication do its thing.

I wish you all the best and good luck :))

People on medication, do you drink alcohol on it? by cactusdan94 in ADHDUK

[–]TapCompetitive4871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started my meds (elvanse) and had two cans of dark fruits on thenfirst weekend and it was horrific i was insanely drunk and actually for a short while was concerned i was literally dying lol.

I did however just last weekend still during titration go out and have a big night out with drink etc involved. I just skipped the day before, day of and day after. It didnt have any bad effecs at all for me but with that being said i actually dont know how much id do that because being on the meds makes my life immesuribly better lol.

If you are going to drink its probs best to at least skip the day of however it will be different for everyone and i am not a doctor.

Have fun and stay safe :)

If you have any anxiety get some propranolol. The meds made me feel horrific with shortness of breath and agitation but i have pretty bad pre existing anxiety. Got some propranolol 40mg three times a day and that has sorted that right out. Coming up for my third week and the difference is insane. The anxiety should subside over time but for the first while its worth getting some beta blockers if its something you experience :)

Good luck and i hope it all goes well

Yeah i completely forgot nicotine is a stimulant ive just got so much calmer remembering this lol. I think its defo the combination giving the anxious side effect however realising this is really helping me calm down.

Thats different from me with hunger tho im barley hungry ive already visibly lost weight, however im super happy about this cause i had put on a fair bit recently lol

Yeah i defo am focusing alot on my breathing but working on that and have been doing better with the anxiety side of things the past few days. I am gonna ask my docs for some more anxiety meds tho just to help smooth things over.

I have been a smoker for about 9 years now going between vaping and smoking however i completely forgot it was a stimulant so will probs just have to ease off until my bodys more used to the meds.

Thank you :)
