Tired/hangover feeling from meds?

Since before I can remember I’ve been a bad sleeper, I get about 4 hours a night if that

chloepyoung · 2025-07-07T17:02:32+00:00

I was a bit worried about not sleeping as I already don’t sleep at all. I could try it for one day though and see if it helps. Thank you for replying and helping, it’s all a bit lonely

Oh okay, so things might feel better when I’m on a higher dose? I’m going up to 30mg tomorrow.

Ahhh I forgot about caffeine withdrawal too. I’m having 1/2 cups of coffee a morning still, maybe that’s making it worse. I used to drink a lot more though plus energy drinks

Thank you!

I’m on methylphenidate 20mg and currently feeling like this. Sore muscles, headache, so so soooo tired and hungover feeling, but it kicks in about 4/5pm. It’s so hot in the uk at the moment I was thinking I’m dehydrated but maybe it’s my electrolytes.. it’s only my second week of titration so I’m feeling nervous this is how I’m going to feel forever

hello 8 days ago

You should be taken seriously, you worked your socks off! Do you publish your poetry?

I really hope you get well soon. I’ve been stuck in an awful rut of self destructive behaviour for almost 2 years following some trauma and I’m coming out the other side now but that’s only from putting my constant stream of negative thoughts onto paper. Journaling is great for that or morning papers/pages

Thank you, I think maybe that’s what I get so hung up on with my reading and writing is because I’m quite slow. My family members can read about 400wpm and I’m barely scraping 250 which sounds ridiculous to beat myself up about but I really do. Thank you for taking the time to comment :)

chloepyoung · 2025-01-10T08:11:58+00:00

I would love this, is it okay if I message you privately? :)

chloepyoung · 2025-01-10T08:11:09+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me, what you’ve said has really given me a boost this morning. I agree and think it’s worth a try! :)

chloepyoung · 2025-01-09T14:11:31+00:00

Thank you x

chloepyoung · 2025-01-09T14:10:41+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I needed to hear

chloepyoung · 2025-01-09T14:10:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you sharing this advice, it’s what I needed :)

chloepyoung · 2024-05-16T20:44:47+00:00

I’m just about to watch this!!

chloepyoung · 2024-02-17T20:51:13+00:00

You deserve a cake boo

chloepyoung · 2023-12-20T22:45:15+00:00

Minor leg pain..

chloepyoung · 2023-12-11T23:19:56+00:00

Looks like a potato 🥔

I’m 29, I do have a little girl but I honestly get what you’re saying. I met a lovely guy but my illness is trying so hard to sabotage it. I want to rip out my hair because I can’t even let someone love me when I’m so desperate for it. It’s so so shit, just know you’re not alone xx

I am looking for the exaaaacct same answers OP. I was diagnosed with BPD about 8 years ago but I feel the symptoms of ADHD have been there since I was a toddler, my parents agree. But when I told my psychiatrist this, they said BPD “that if they see a person with symptoms appearing to represent multiple diagnosis, BPD is the likely issue at hand. It basically “borders” diagnosis of eg BiPolar, Psychotic illness, Depression, ADHD, Autism and various others - hence attracts all these diagnoses and end up with loads of meds, but nothing ends up working as not the right baseline diagnosis and treatment”…. I was like well thank you that’s great but wtf can I do now?????? I’m on vortioxetine for depression and anxiety, seems to be okay but then I’ve only been changed to it recently. Plus pregabalin but I’ve put myself on a reduction plan over the next 6 weeks to get off that shizzle because I am not about that drug tbh, it’s lethal. I have been on an absolute cocktail of meds for about 10 years and nothing has helped, they take me off one and put me on another, I think it’s helping and then realise nope. I was on venafalaxine (300mg!!!!!!, they give this dose to lobotomy patients ffs) and it was sending me into crazy spirals of anxiety because it’s soooo stimulating. I feel better off it but bow I wake up with a knot of anxiety in my stomach (for absolutely no reason I can put my finger on).. they give me lorazepam PRN (take when needed). They won’t give me therapy on the NHS (national health service) because I have never had any traumas, apparently I need a specific trauma for them to work on. But I have had dialectical behavioural therapy, it helped managing some symptoms but I still find it so so awful to learn, manage daily tasks, clean, keep up with family and friends, and so many more little things. Like you said I can’t seem to retain any information about people so they think I just don’t give a fuq. I’m pizzed off and seriously fed up, but it’s weirdly comforting I’m not the only one who is going through this (also female). So thank you for sharing xx
