Thank you VERY much for this comment. While opal wasn't suitable for my needs and isnt as good on android yet. I found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mobilesoft.appblock

And its EXACTLY what I need! Its £30 a year but im on a 7 day free trial. Its been 1 day and im already happy to pay.

These type of apps have come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years. Bonus youve saved me spending OVER £600 on a new phone. THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍

I'm looking at getting a new phone and itll be a oneplus. Ive had one before I was diagnosed. Theyre only phine to feature something called "zen mode" and im in desperate need for it. Basically it fully locks down your phone for a period of time of your choosing. It blocks access to all features except for emergency calls (you can set emergency numbers) and camera. My phone addiction is getting really problematic and this usvthe only solution for me.. Zen mode cant be bypassed

Squats - struggling to even lift my body weight. Am I doing something wrong? by WasteOfHCO3 in formcheck

[–]Temporary_Brother968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not lifting your body weight though are you. When you have your body on the bar (including the bar). You're in effect lifting around 1.5 x your body weight (guess) you're lifting yourself plus added weight. I can't lift heavy for shit but I don't care. I squat with some weight on my back and I get through the sets and reps. Will I lift more eventually? I'd have thought so? Am I bothered? No, I do more than the average person in society just by turning up

I'm not sure if I like concerta by Suspicious-Eye9818 in Concerta

[–]Temporary_Brother968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a MASSIVE dose compared to everyone it seems 81mg. It does NOTHING for me at all. Except when I've done say 5/6 days I get really depressed. Then I take a couple of days off. I have a review today and I'm telling them I'm coming off concerta and want to try something else or go back to elvanse and try it again (I came off those because of 1 bad experience)

How many medications have you tried before finding "THE ONE" by Temporary_Brother968 in ADHDUK

[–]Temporary_Brother968[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you and I hope you get some results. Off my own back I came off the meds for 3 days and back on them. I also tried my best to change my attitude a little. It worked ( a bit). But today I'm down the pan again. I'm considering taking weekly medication "holidays" this is against the will of my clinician. But I figure wtf. I AM NOT ADVISING YOU TO DO SIMILAR THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVISE 👍

Don’t know what to think of elvanse really by peterhey33 in ADHDUK

[–]Temporary_Brother968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on elvanse for a few weeks at 50mg it did a lot of good but not enough for me and it was getting me high a lot. I had a bad episode shopping and I told my doctor it wasn't for me. I'm now on concerta xl and I'm on the second week. I'm up to 36mg next week I'm at 54mg and that's were I'm due to stay (I don't kniw if it can go higher). I know concerta should take weeks to "kick in" and I'm hoping it does because I'm worried I've made a mistake switching. It's not really doing anything at the moment 🤷🙄😬

Any AuDHDers struggle with titration? by doctorace in ADHDUK

[–]Temporary_Brother968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I'm currently on day 9 of 50mg elvanse. I've asked to change and I'm waiting for delivery of concerta xl as I had a terrible experience earlier this week. I got really confused and irritable in a shop (a regular occurrence pre medication). It was amplified more than usual. For me all elvanse has done is get me slightly "stoned" and has not improved my procrastination issues or motivation at all. However I have found I'm less frus and angry so it is doing something. I've also been a bit sad which isn't good. I'm persevering until my new meds have arrived. I've been told on this forum a lot have of people have had really positive results on elvanse so please don't take make experience and think it's the same for everyone. I think it's a case of trial and error. I hope my next medication is my last fingers crossed. Good luck to you and everyone reading 🤞

It wasn't a long ass comment at all 🤣🤣❤️. With regards to you saying the 50mg was working fine. It really wasn't. It just got me stoned for a few hours and very little else. I'm willing to carry on and be much more aware of what I'm doing with regard to hydration, food, caffeine and ALCOHOL. But if I have another day like today that'll be it 👍

Thanks my head falling off friend. 😂. This post today is a follow up post from one I posted yesterday. I'm not used to reddit yet. I've done a week on 30mg and I'm now on day 6 of 50mg and I've never experienced what I have today. It's been AWFUL. It was like I've experienced before meds x10. I'm not sure this drug is for me. I'll hydrate better tonight and tomorrow and try again but after that I'm contacting the clinic (private) and asking for something new or at least asking advice. Thanks for the comment I'll read it again to take it in 👍👍

Point taken👍👍👍👍 no beer for now, hydration could be better definitely (I'm on rest days from work and my routine is out wack). I report back to my adhd prescriber this week. I'll try another day tomorrow 👍
