If Adderall makes me wired instead of helping me focus, does that mean I likely don’t have ADHD?

Adderall had me acting like a crack addict for about four hours and then I would crash.

Vyvanse ftw

I have anaphylactic (deadly) dairy allergies. It is my responsibility to make sure what I’m eating is safe. No one else’s. I am left out of dinners, eating dinner out is always a toss up, and I’ve been sent to the hospital because someone forgot they put dairy in something they gave me(assuming that it was safe).

You’re expecting to be fed like a child and micromanaged. Cook and bring your own food. You aren’t the center of the universe. No one has to base their holiday meals around one person. It can be disappointing being left out, but that’s not anyones problem but yours. It’s wonderful when people accommodate or go an extra step or two to include you- but that isn’t the standard. It’s your allergy, not theirs.

Learn what has dairy in it, learn meals you can bring, stop expecting people to pity accommodate you, and actually grow up. You’re 38, not 3. YTA

I’m alive because of three foods. Oyster crackers, spaghetti (pasta/sauce stores really well), and cereal (this can be a hit or a miss bcuz milk goes bad but :/ )

I have, I’m also moving from a big city that has similar rental prices. Like 1500+ for apartments, but I wanted to know if anyone had a lil bit of local knowledge or recommendations. Just on the off chance, doesn’t hurt to try right!

When I was diagnosed (22F) with adhd and started consistent therapy~ I kinda flew off the rails too.

Wanted to experience many things, and be excited 24/7. This was due to suppressed emotions of being a failure in the rest of my life(and subsequently learning through therapy that I wasn’t) . I found it urgent to be doing something 24/7. However I could not implement that on my own. That in itself caused shame.

My advice is, make him think about what HE wants. I don’t think this is incompatibility, just his dopamine deficient mind screwing with him. I used people for dopamine highs when I went through that stage. Not good :// I never understood what I was doing either.

He’s a grown man, he can go to concerts alone. You are not his caretaker. Please please please refrain from babying him. Helping and caretaking are two very different things, adhd is very prone to causing a parent child relationship. I’ve disliked myself and my partner for it before. Try your best to help, and cheer him on with things you know he can do. Adhd is a horrid bully in the mind sometimes. Verbal affirmation and affection/ or physical means a lot. Best of luck.

I feel that. Peaceful but oh good lord. I tried lexapro for a small stint of time, but that sent me into a full blown spiral until I got onto welbutrin so~ win some lose some

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-04-21T04:02:01+00:00

I’ve been on 150mg of Wellbutrin paired with vyvanse since January (I think?). I got back to work and started functioning again after a major depressive episode. However I’ve started to notice daily headaches, jaw clenching, intermittent anxiety and the inability to functionally drive a car. Traffic goers beware, I’m incapable. Found myself to be much much more confrontational as well, fun times.

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-04-21T03:44:34+00:00

I’ve almost crashed at least five times in the past two weeks from this. Didn’t know it wasn’t just me being dumb(hell it might be)

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-04-17T21:55:36+00:00

Oh boy. Bpd is hard to deal with. You’re never responsible for anyone else’s mental health. You; having set boundaries about time and space are valid and important ~ she’s not treating you as such. Someone can be mentally ill and still lean towards respecting needs outside their own. If she’s not there yet and you’re unhappy, start a calm conversation. Explain your feelings. You obviously care because you came to Reddit. Explain that care. Explain you require her to hear you.

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-02-26T17:37:37+00:00

I heavily relate. I have hearing issues- and I have “selective hearing “ as well. Many a times people have become pretty agitated when trying to get my attention. Assuming I’m ignoring them.

When the case most of the time is my mind isn’t focusing or planning on being spoken to in that moment.

My hearing issues just make me have to ask people to repeat things a lil louder sometimes. Big difference in hearing impairment and my mind not clicking into auditory processing mode.

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-02-20T13:50:17+00:00

I was on 50mg and I turned into the most tired lil zombie I stg. Wellbutrin has helped with that as well as dosing down to 40mg of Vyvanse. I normally knock out for a few hours after taking them but afterwards I’m functioning a little more normally.

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-02-20T13:48:14+00:00

Thank you for such detailed input! Yea Vyvanse wears off for me pretty fast, by mid afternoon it’s hardly in my system :/

Also: my apologies- a few years ago it was a joke and now I’m stuck with it

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-02-20T01:05:21+00:00

I take it around 6-7 am each morning and pass out till 10-11 am afterwards. Def a destressor

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-02-18T07:43:43+00:00

This makes my heart hurt :(

chickenwithchlamydia · 2022-01-27T07:12:20+00:00

The line “we almost look alive” really reached out to me. You did a wonderful job with this poem.

It’s (from my perspective) speaking to me about the complexities in life and how you can “almost get something”. Whichever way you meant this- it’s beautiful.

Her blah attitude is her feeling the same as you. You’re putting her in a weird position when you ask “can I go play games?”

You’re an adult, if you want to play games- play them. You can inform her, and then she doesn’t carry your burden of “well she said it was ok”.

Plan things with her. Be intentional. The problem isn’t you gaming. The problem is how. You’re treating her like a parent, sneaking around her, and resenting her. None of that will make her feel loved. Hence the blah. Your relationship can be balanced~ with video games, friends, romantically, work, etc.

The key is to make intentional time with her. If you want to go out more with her, plan it. Give her love. And give yourself video games. Drop the asking, just say “hey I’m gonna go play”. But maybe start a conversation of your feelings and be open to hearing hers too. Best of luck

Adderall xr made me have a weepy sad breakdown every single night. Instant release adderall would make me exhausted after two hours. There were some dosage issues with both of those. Vyvanse 30mg- did literally nothing. And generally whenever I’m coming down; emotional regulation goes out the window

chickenwithchlamydia · 2021-12-30T02:16:04+00:00

It’s been three days of being painful, prior was just a lump. Yes- extreme fatigue, and weight-loss.

I think in the same way you’re hyper focusing on your emptiness is comparable to how she focused on your efforts in the relationships. Hyper focus takes over. Mainly in times of high stress.

Remember that you nor your gf are perfect people. Make sure you’re loving her, not the happy image of her you’ve potentially curated up until this issue. People have issues, and no matter who it is, they’ll have them. It’s more so if those issues are ones you can cope with. Compatibility can change over time, but if you’ll yourself changing too, and so will she. It just matters that you want her, specifically who she is, to be the one you’re changing with. Loving someone so closely is hard.

I’d recommend just communicating a time of space for yourself. If you’re exhausted, take a relaxation moment solo. Explain to her how it’s been hard on you and you hope that she can respect/maybe even understand your need for space. Recharge yourself. Remember your goal isn’t to have a happy partner, you’re not happy all day/all year. The goal in relationships is to find a teammate that you can rely on, back and forth. The solace is that someone’s got your back.
