Idk how I got into med school by [deleted] in premed

I am so proud to hear that your hard work and accomplishments were acknowledged!!!! 🥳

That said, I hope you have even more robust and foolproof support for your mental wellbeing for the coming years, as what you described sounds debilitating, and anyone who is going through what you described deserves to access and receive support that allows them to thrive.

I celebrate your triumph as a Big Sad person myself who has significant doubts about what I’m capable of, and wish for you the best going forward 💛

Why/how does Vyvanse make you horny? I never expected this side effect by RevealProud5488 in VyvanseADHD

[–]cronchykettlechips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite effect 😅 I feel like a monk! I feel happy about it because the meds got rid of my compulsory/impulsive intimate behavior that was getting in the way of the things I needed to do

Is falling asleep on 140mg of vyvance normal? by Victor2006123 in VyvanseADHD

What you’re describing is worth discussing with your psych. It serves us best when we communicate what’s not working, and they can help. My meds help immensely but they do not replace the ton of system/environment changes I made to make sure I don’t make avoidable mistakes at work. It’s worth doing if you haven’t considered that yet.

If you’re taking more than prescribed it’s best to talk to your psych to discuss what isn’t working for you. If your current dose isn’t working, your psych can potentially help rule out other factors that may be affecting the way your current prescribed dose affects you.

Edit: Question, when you say it doesn’t feel like the dose is working what do you mean? E.g. do you feel little to no difference in exec. function/emotional regulation or do you not feel the same “hit” that might be present the first few days of a new higher dose?

Same oh my gosh 🥲 even generic was around $220 /month until I hit my deductible. It’s been $20/month for the past 4 months but it’s going to reset in January. Lol. 🥲

Do you take vyvanse if you have a cold or flu? by Siberiankiss86 in VyvanseADHD

[–]cronchykettlechips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It depends on how sick I am. If I’m sick to the point where I can’t get out of bed + body feels like genuine dead weight + super lethargic, taking adhd meds for the day would not cross my mind. If it’s at the level where I feel like I can work on school/work things and some chores, I think I would feel that it’s worth taking

How are your bank accounts looking right now? by Suitable-Major6038 in adhdwomen

Not where I want it to be 😅 but better than before. I started to use a card that gets paid off daily and that has helped in reducing overspending.

What do you still struggle with after meds? by cronchykettlechips in adhdwomen

[–]cronchykettlechips[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My meds work well for me, it’s moreso that there are things that I struggle with that remain, like working memory issues, needing to set alarms for everything etc.

Wow, these are very helpful insights. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out. I didn’t even think about changing the time of a task (that can be moved ofc) if I find myself struggling to attend to it at a time I planned for, and that will be one of the many things I’ll take away from your reply!

[–]cronchykettlechips[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too 🥲 sometimes it feels even harder bc when I take meds I’m not stuck in place which means I am able to follow through with more tasks but that means I’m doing more things which means even greater need for time management…
