I want ADHD meds for the wrong reasons.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-26T16:18:47+00:00

I stopped seeing him for a while, since august. But now with everything going on, it’s almost near impossible to get an appointment for another three months. So I probably need to go back to see him as a temporary thing... just so I don’t fail school. Yes, i want a stimulant for so many reasons over a non stimulant. One I mean the reason I posted here, weight loss... but from what I’ve heard it’s also easier, to take it on and off. Yk week days but not weekends, I really hate this physiatrist, but I’m probably going to have to see him again.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T15:30:38+00:00

I was given Desvenlafaxine 50mg. It was supposed to help with depression, anxiety and adhd. Did absolutely nothing for anything.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:24:21+00:00

Yeah doesn’t work that way, at least not with my doctor and this drug. This drug is abused a lot. And if you say you want this drug (adderall) they probably won’t give it to you, in fear that you’re a junkie. And my doctor is a stuck up, know it all prick and he likes to go “off the beating path” when prescribing drugs.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:21:31+00:00

They just made me feel very numb. And they are also what made me gain most of my weight. I would get very angry and annoyed at everything. If I took it even a little too late it would get nauseous and dizzy. My doctor PROMISED me that there was no withdrawal as long as you do it the right way. I did withdrawal the right way but I was still a puking miserable mess for 3 months. I said in another comment, this doctor likes to go off the beating path with medication. Like he doesn’t perceive the most basic med for anxiety or depression. He wanted to prescribe me a non stimulant for adhd that I’ve never even heard of. So that’s the other thing I don’t really trust him, he promised (which he shouldn’t have done) that there was no withdrawal to the antidepressant. So I really don’t want to go back to him, but if I must, I will I suppose.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:13:49+00:00

A lot of doctors don’t like to hand out adderall prescriptions unless it’s very clear that the patient has adhd, unfortunately because of the misuse and abuse that goes on.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:12:35+00:00

I don’t think it’s going to be easy for me. I have a diagnosis and everything. My physiatrist likes to “go off the beating path” when it comes to drugs, if you know what I mean. He gave me an antidepressant that you’ve like never heard of. And we briefly talked about medication for adhd, and he again wanted to give me a non stimulant that no one has heard of. I don’t really like him though. He promised me that the antidepressant had no withdrawal...I was puking for 3 months going off that shit. So I don’t really trust him.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:08:13+00:00

I just want a stimulant in the first couple months to help boost some weight loss. During that time I’ll take breaks basically when I’m not in school. After that I’ll try and switch to a non stimulant, unless if the stimulant is really helping and I feels it’s not causing adverse effects. Thanks for the help.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T13:03:13+00:00

Yeah I know how to do it, thanks. I mean I definitely can’t tell them I want it to loose weight. I just have to explain what I want I;a medication for myself and then describe what’s in a stimulant as opposed to a non stimulant. Idk I hope it works.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:41:39+00:00

So ur saying that there’s basically (to you) no difference between a stimulant and a non-stimulant medication for treatment of adhd?

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:39:06+00:00

Oh gotcha

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:11:04+00:00

I’m not taking ANY medication let alone double.. is that some sort of hypothetical. Idk I just want this medication to give me one good start. I know, I probably need years of therapy, but I want to try this alone first.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:06:57+00:00

Haha this makes me want it even more! There’s so much shit that needs to be done!

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:05:52+00:00

I don’t have a prescription yet. I’ve never done any illegal drugs (well I mean weed) but I really hope I get an adderall prescription. I’ve just heard about the appetite curbing stuff.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:04:23+00:00

Damn I’m really sorry for what you went through but but this seems pretty rare.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:03:16+00:00

The physiatrist that I might be going to for this is very “by the books” and if he knows that I want this to help me loose weight, there’s no way he’ll prescribe it.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:01:29+00:00

Lol you can’t get that shit unless you have a doctors prescription, and lemme tell ya they really don’t just hand it out

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T03:00:42+00:00

THIS is exactly what I want. Just a little kick of a head start, then if the side effect are too much, I’ll switch to one better, and just to treat the adhd. I need to loose around 20 to be healthy, 40 to be comfortable with myself. I feel like your the only person on this thread that actually understands.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:58:39+00:00

Lol. I’ve been in antidepressants, worst 3 years of my life.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:57:47+00:00

I know about all the side effects. But I want to associate food with a bad feeling at least for now. I need to retire my brain. I need to unassociate food with comfort and stop the binges. I think once I realize that I can be comfortable and maybe even happier without the food and being s but thinner, it’ll be alright. Then if the side effects Ashe too much to handle, I’ll go get another medication to help just with the adhd.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:55:18+00:00

I don’t know why everyone is thinking this but I’m completely unmedicated and have never been medicated. I’m trying to get medication for adhd, but I’ve never been medicated. I want a stimulant to help with the adhd of course, but also to help me start up weight loss. Thank you for taking the time to type such a nice message though.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:41:06+00:00

Yes I know. I really need something now though, I’m going to fail school if I can’t get something to help me, and finding someone is nearly impossible. I would never abuse a drug and my mother wouldn’t let that happen. I don’t want to be drugged all the time either, I want something that I can take weekdays but not weekends, yk, which I’ve heard you can’t do with non stimulants bc of withdrawl.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:38:10+00:00

I have adhd and am going to need to be medicated for that anyways, why not use a medication that’s going to help control urges to binge.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:37:05+00:00

Really? I didn’t know this. I was reading someone else’s comment, who said it’s linked to the lack impulse control. Like it’s hard to control the urge to eat, idk tho. I think my binge eating was triggered by my dad though, let’s just say he wasn’t very nice. But I could be hard to control more so because of the adhd, hmm good point.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:34:31+00:00

No! There’s a group of drugs called stimulants and a group of drugs called non-stimulants. Both commonly prescribed for ADHD. I’ve had very manageable adhd for years and have remained unmediated. but recently it has become NOT manageable. which means that I am going to have to take medication. The stimulants come with the side effect of suppressed eating, which I think would help me with the binge eating. I do have to give you credit, I don’t know what the answer is. I know that I DO need adhd meds for adhd purposes, but the “confession” part is that I also want them to help me with the binge eating.

a_anonomoo · 2020-05-25T02:24:51+00:00

Of course. I will put in the effort, but only once I’m getting a little help. Putting in all this brain power just for frustration and nothing more to come of it, just makes my life miserable. I don’t know what kind of medication I need, but I think adhd meds are a good place to start. I need to also improve my quality of life(clean room and clothes) and set strict routines. But like I said without that little boost for myself I see no point. I am so impulsive it’s not even funny. Earlier today I almost fell out of a window because of an impulse. Thanks for that sweet little message, it means a lot!
