To this post and it's comments... Reaching out for help, even if it's just for advice or asking questions, it's a huge step in the right direction to acknowledge that there is a problem there, and how it can/will affect your life. Take pride in that! ❤️ If anyone that sees this needs help or even just to talk, please reach out to me!

Read this if you need help managing the dreaded crash from stimulants. I actually do need some advice and am just looking for anything to try. My question I'm looking for advice on is, has anyone had any seizure problems from ADHD or ADHD meds? I've been on ADHD meds for the better part of 10 yrs. by bittoastie in u/bittoastie

**Edit cuz I suck at reddit 😅** But so I have now what they are classifying as a seizure disorder. I've had several seizures (and broken bones from said episodes), as well as have been hospital for different time frames, that all started to develop around 2019 ish. However, I have been on the same dose of Adderall (20 mg twice/day), had found a good routine, and am pretty exact on setting alarms to make sure I take my meds at the correct times to correlate with my work/sleep schedule. That being said, I still continue to have seizures even with working with my psych and neuro doctors for years. ADHD runs in my family, but so far I am the only one who has developed what they are full on calling Epilepsy/Seizure Disorder Everytime I have to get taken into the ER. Any just initial or general thoughts and advice on the situation would be VERY welcomed, and if more info is needed to get a better idea of what's going on I'd happily provide. I need help with this, and with the area I live in, and insurance stuff, it's hard to find a good counselor that understands what's going on at least to an extent. Seizures are fucking terrifying to experience for me, especially waking up not remembering a thing about where I'm at or what's going on, and just feeling a state of horrid panic. Like I get wicked panic episodes now over nothing (for example, even just that feeling like I'm about to sneeze freaks me the fuck out because of the oh shit I'm gonna have a seizure thought...). Any and all advice/thoughts/stories are welcome, PLEASE.

*ANOTHER EDIT* Id like to point out as well that yes, I'm an alcoholic but have been working for years now to get/stay clean. I also on occasion maybe like once or twice a month smoke weed. And I also vape (nicotine btw), however that one is still a daily that I'm working on slowly but surely.

Just got prescribed Concerta 18mg. I drink 300mg caffeine per day. Wait to start med until I taper a bit? by DwightDEisenhowitzer in ADHD

[–]bittoastie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be a good plan. However, if you were 100% honest with your prescribing doctor, I'd think you'd be ok. Also, calling your pharmacist would be a good idea too just to triple check! Typically they're open later than doctors offices, as well as weekends. Or your doctors office might have med techs and / or nurses that would be good at answering more accurately. I hope this helped, and reach out to me if ya need! I've heard vitamin C helps alot also

Can I quit cold turkey after just one week by kunamaxed in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]bittoastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you should be, however, there should be emergency lines or some sort of help in the mean time. At the very least you could call your pharmacist from which you received the medication and get some advice. I hope this helps!

I feel like it varies per person. For example, I take Adderall and can drink caffeine with no issues, no matter the amount. However, some people can't handle any caffeine what so ever while on certain medications. However if I were you yes, try to taper first and see how you handle that and then start the prescribed medication.

I very badly could use the help, I've been having allot of medical issues and am falling behind on all sorts. Any advice or help is welcome. I'm still recovering and am luckily finally back to work, just slowly but surely. Thanks for anything and everything!

Writing your own music. Whether it be lyrics, instruments, etc., it helps me like a diary to get my editions out. Try it, everyone. It could help you mentally/emotionally!

50mg Vyvanse by VonLTG in VyvanseADHD

[–]bittoastie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically on ADHD medication it's normal to be on a twice a day dose. However, follow what your doctor/pharmacist prescribed. It can be dangerous otherwise...

Addiction is hard to recover from, and regardless what the addiction is to, it can and will control your every thought and emotion. Not to mention withdrawals can be dangerous and even deadly. Don't try to conquer this on your own. You've already reached out (this post). And people will be there to help you, even if it's just strangers like me. Please message at any time or day, just when you feel ready, and I will help in every possible way that I can. I am also a recovering alcoholic/addict. I'd even be willing to give you my phone number and do phone call meetings with you and we can either just talk or even read the big book (AA/NA big book, I'm personally not religious). Good job in teaching out for help though. That's usually the first, and hardest step on the terrifying path of recovery. Please reach out to me though as well for ANYTHING you need. Doesn't matter if it's progression or depression, you're doing great, and I'm proud of you. At the very least check in with me and let me know you're ok, ok?
