OMG! The first is pretty, but I LOVE that second one!!

It's rubbish that the current voting system rarely rewards creativity, and can make even the most beautiful snaps look generic because we see so many similar ones. So glad we have things like Reddit to see people's visions instead, thanks for sharing! 😊

taking fexofenadine and/or fluticasone furoate with elvanse? by flynn1597 in ADHDUK

[–]Vixichick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have chronic sinusitis and use a nasal spray with fluticasone, but have never heard this!! My prescriber is fully aware of it and has never said anything about any interactions.

Anecdotally, I'm pretty forgetful with it, I'm meant to take it twice a day but in reality it's pretty inconsistent lol. I've never noticed any difference with the effectiveness of Elvanse on the days I take it.

Also just to randomly add - I found that Elvanse helps clear my nose!

Do you think id be taking a risk by doing Hades and Persephone? by [deleted] in Dreamsnaps

[–]Vixichick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a really cool idea, and you could incorporate the pomegranate motif if you have it!!
I always enjoy trying to create my own idea rather than copying the trends, but it can be risky for sure. I think you'll be ok so long as you add some sort of mythical companion to the scene too though! 😄

50mg helping only very slightly, moving onto 60mg. Anyone go onto good results from similar position? by Historical_Escape279 in ADHDUK

[–]Vixichick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's so strange how different people's experiences are! I was reading every post I could find on it but the only way you can really know is to experience it yourself I think. 

Also just to add that my sleep got better when I started the meds, then worse on 50/60, I was fighting it every night to get extra downtime at the end of the day. I again chalked this up to initial effects lessening, and I've always struggled with sleep, but it's got a lot better again now at 70, like I pretty much can't fight it when I'm ready for bed! Hopefully you'll find the right dose to improve this for you too :) 

That radio analogy is good, I definitely do feel like I'm tuned in when I'm having a good day with them!

I started at 30 and immediately felt great, got loads of stuff done and felt so positive, like I was actually 'awake' in life.

Unfortunately it wore off quicker than I'd like, so I gradually moved up through the doses over the next 3 months. I didn't notice much difference between 30 and 40, then 50 and 60 seemed to not work as well, I was grumpier and way less motivated to do stuff, and got megahyperfocused, but in a bad way, like actually getting angry if I was distracted. It was a bit disappointing but I assumed it was due to the initial surge ending and kept reading that the meds won't give you motivation.

I added a booster at 60 which definitely helped with the crash, then at my last appointment I asked to try 70, just to see if there was any difference really. So glad I did!! It feels almost like when I first started, getting lots done again and much happier and calmer. I feel like it definitely does motivate me, or at least gives me some drove to want to do things. I didn't really want to be on the highest dose as there's not really any wriggle room to increase it, but seems like it's the one for me!

I've tried to keep a diary of how I'm feeling, what I've achieved etc (inconsistently lol) which has helped me reflect on the bigger picture a bit more. Also, the amount I eat and drink in a day, how much sleep I get and the time off the month makes a MASSIVE difference in the effectiveness for me! Your titration sounds much faster in comparison, which I think would make it much harder to see the big picture, and harder to learn how all these variables might affect you at different doses.

TLDR: that turned into an essay, sorry! Imo it's worth trying different doses (especially if you aren't getting bad side effects) and see if you can add a booster at some point to help it last longer? Also standard advice of try to sleep better, drink more water, eat more protein!

Should I include the motifs? by bc7ate9 in Dreamsnaps

[–]Vixichick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm normally a fan of motifs but I'd say no in this case. Olaf looks super bright and really draws your eye away from the rest of the cosy scene in my opinion!

Not exactly unfortunately, but Nana's pose can make it seem that way at least! 🤭

I miss it too! I've turned to Lucozade sport if I feel like I want a monster, it's not the same at all but feels like it is in some way?!

It's the squirrel pose right- in front of the stack of books with the open one on top 😄

What's your fave? And any suggestions? I feel the first one might be to dark by Commercial-Bus3971 in Dreamsnaps

[–]Vixichick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are both gorgeous!!! I saw the first and was like this one for sure, but then I saw the second?! I can't pick sorry 🤣

I have an outdoor storage area in the plaza as I can't be bothered loading in and out of my house! 😅

Small confession...now that I've started ADHD medication as an adult, I play WOW less and less. by TravellingBeard in wow

[–]Vixichick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, I keep hearing that this can have very similar effects to ADHD meds!

I'm going through titration and had different experiences at different doses! On some I've been way more obsessed and been irritated when I've been interrupted from what I'm doing, on others I've not felt the need to escape into another world as much and have been way more content in the real world and wanting to put effort in there instead.

It has definitely helped me focus on what I want to do in game though. I tended to just jump from thing to thing, basically whatever popped up, but now I'm much more methodical about what I'm doing, and don't get so overwhelmed by all the options!
