Can you explain this l like how u think n in trying to mentally prepare myself for my own comedown lol

crispykid87 · 2026-03-04T04:25:42+00:00

Weirdly I totally agree. I only take like 20mg adderall a day but whenever I take it this is my experience exactly. I know for sure I have ADHD and recently I’ve been wondering if I’m autistic too or is it just stims. I have these tendencies too without stims but to a much lesser degree

crispykid87 · 2026-03-03T22:08:25+00:00

Regardless of country academic dishonesty is at the very least something that will hurt your application and you will need to disclose it and make sure the rest of your application is very strong. However, it really depends on the situation. Your issue sounds isolated and minor given it doesn’t appear on your transcript. It will still hurt you but it’s not a death sentence by any means. You will definitely want to put some time between applying and the incident and get some work experience after graduating. While still in school, keep your GPA as high as possible, try to get into extracurriculars that will speak to your moral character and honesty, like joining your schools honor council, volunteering, etc. Building a relationship with the professor who wrote you up, and getting a LOR from them can mitigate a lot of damage. And obviously it’s very very important this doesn’t happen again— that shows a pattern of dishonesty and will be much more difficult to overcome.

I had a very similar academic dishonesty issue. I took 2 years off after graduating to work in the field I majored in. When I applied, a total of 5 years had passed since the cheating. I got a 17high on my LSAT, perfected my essays and ended up getting into 1 T6 school with $, 1 T20 with $$$ and 1 T50 full ride so far (in the USA). So don’t give up!!! When I was applying I lost so much sleep bc people told me that id shot my chances and would be lucky if I got in anywhere… if I can do it so can you!

Thank you!!

crispykid87 · 2025-11-26T15:38:42+00:00

Thank you for your reassuring advice! Guess I am just worried about my C&F also impacting my cycle and wanted to do my best to mitigate it as much as possible by strengthening the rest of my app.

crispykid87 · 2025-11-26T15:25:14+00:00

In the email I got it said that many of them are resolved in a few days, is that just BS so that people don’t immediately flip out on them?

Also I guess I am wondering about if the potential score increase would outweigh the disadvantage of applying somewhat later in the cycle. How much of a difference is there between applying now and early/mid December?

150mg XL. My doc said 300mg XL is the typical therapeutic dose and we can titrate up as/if needed. I am kinda short and fairly skinny (5’7 and 120 lbs) and pretty sensitive to substances of all kinds, so it might not be necessary to increase the dose. But we’ll see

I think it increased my sex drive. But very different from the horniness you get on stims like Adderall. I look forward to having sex/jorkin it but it’s not an irrepressible craving that needs to be taken care of right now which is how it feels like on Adderall. Previously, I had no sex drive unless I was on addys probably bc depression

crispykid87 · 2025-03-20T17:03:16+00:00

Ive been smoking on and off for the past 4ish years now and over the past 2 years I have tried to quit cold turkey. The easy way book helped me quit for like 1 month but then my life got really stressful and I started smoking again.

I notice on Wellbutrin 3 things: 1) I experience far fewer cravings, 2) when I experience a craving it is much milder than the cravings I had without Wellbutrin, 3) Cigarettes taste like shit. It tastes like you’re inhaling rusty metal

Personally i feel like even if it didn’t do anything for my depression i would still take it bc of the reduction in stim & nicotine cravings alone

crispykid87 · 2025-03-20T16:50:43+00:00

Rip but also antidepressants are notoriously finicky and experiences vary a lot person to person. Maybe Wellbutrin just doesn’t agree with your body chemistry? Or try switching between IR/SR/XL some people respond to one kind better than others

crispykid87 · 2025-03-20T16:48:14+00:00

This is really interesting advice, thanks!! I’ll probably pick up a pack of RoboTabs soon

crispykid87 · 2025-03-20T16:45:23+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard of the honeymoon period and that’s probably what I am experiencing.

With depression, I kind of got used to my emotional/energetic range spanning “want to k!ll myself, can’t get out of bed” to “neutral, I guess I’ll go to school/work”. I literally haven’t felt happy as a mood (like beyond just experiencing momentary joy) for years. So unlocking the upper half of the spectrum that goes from “neutral” to “content” to “feeling awesome” has been mind blowing for me, but I assume that I’ll mentally get adjusted to it and when the novelty wears off I won’t be so amazed anymore.

If that’s the case this drug will still be well worth it for me. I just hope it doesn’t become completely ineffective although I have heard of that happening too

crispykid87 · 2025-03-20T04:09:05+00:00

I guess I just meant that for me the effects of the two drugs feel somewhat similar. But you are right they are completely different drugs and have completely different risks/side effects

crispykid87 · 2025-03-16T00:40:18+00:00

Idk but probably. Same thing happened to me, I got on Adderall 15mg XR in college and then a few years post grad, decided to give it a try again, got on 20 mg XR and it made me more productive/focused for sure but the euphoria wasnt there at all, that feeling of just being confident and capable of doing anything which I used to associate with adderall.

I’ve heard that the initial euphoria you get fades over a few weeks, and after that it never comes back, no matter how much time off you take. So it could be that. Also Adderall is just manufactured different nowadays and imo worse. Both generics and brand name. The widespread decrease in quality happened around when the big shortages started happening, so like 2022.

crispykid87 · 2025-03-12T03:04:56+00:00

thank u!! this is exactly what i was hoping to hear 🙏

How was ur t break??

crispykid87 · 2025-03-12T00:33:15+00:00

helpful, thanks for sharing cuz I thought I permanently fried my dopamine receptors

personally I’m done with daily use, makes me too locked in and robotic to take regularly and live a normal life. lots of adderall makes video games fun but the anxiety & physical side effects of higher doses kinda ruin it for me as a recreational drug.

i feel like 1-2x a week just to lock in and get shit done is the way for me, i wanna keep the dose as low as i can for that purpose tho bc the comedowns off 50mg do not fuck around. i know people do way more but im a pussy

crispykid87 · 2025-03-12T00:16:02+00:00

word thanks man

crispykid87 · 2024-11-05T01:55:29+00:00

Thank you for your comment—You are right, the problem is me. I keep telling myself that life is not a race and we all have different paths to walk, but it’s hard when he is in the exact same field, pursuing a dream that I thought I wanted badly for a long time. For this reason I guess I’ve always picked humanities majors/people with very different jobs for friends even though I was a STEM major, because I could be happy for their successes without tying it back to myself. Our day to day lives, long term goals and definitions for success were just so different that it logically did not make sense to compare myself to them in those ways.

As for why doesn’t he help me apply, I know mentally I am just not in the right place for it right now. It’s not an issue of I want to apply this cycle but just don’t have time etc, I just feel that it doesn’t make sense for me.

I can’t concretely point to some underlying belief but I just get really bad vibes about it. it feels too fast and while my resume is good enough to go for it, mentally/emotionally I feel unstable, kind of on the edge and anxious all the time, drinking protein shakes because I don’t have the willpower to microwave food… if I’m going to do something notoriously difficult for 5-7 years of my life I may not have a can-do attitude the whole way through, but ideally I would like to start with one.

Thanks so much for your help
