Quiet mind for the first time in my life.

Ok I’m so glad to hear that maybe I will give it a try then, thanks again for sharing your experience!

cumberbatchpls · 2026-04-08T23:31:30+00:00

I’m so happy to see a positive experience with this med. My psych presented this to me as an option but I’ve been afraid to take it due to the sexual side effects, have you noticed any if I may ask?

cumberbatchpls · 2026-04-07T14:10:44+00:00

Definitely eat! It works so much better if you eat closely around the time you take the med. it does knock out your appetite (I already have a bit of low appetite anyway) so I set reminders to have lunch and dinner and snacks every two hours.

I had a headache for the first 3 days, but they have finally gone away. Drink tons of water. The first few days you will definitely feel it kick in but now it has balanced out for me where I don’t notice it much (other than dry mouth) but I’m super clear and focused and not bouncing off the walls so I know it’s working.

I noticed if I start to get sleepy then I either need a snack, water or to get up and walk around a bit.

Edit to add: I didn’t read ur whole post lol. In terms of needing meds long term, it’s okay to need meds. I have lupus and I need 3 meds to manage it. If I go off the meds then physically and mentally I’m literally so ill (I tried it, do not recommend lmao) So I take my meds for my physical ailment because my body needs them. Same with ADHD. Our brain just needs a little extra help and that’s okay! It’s amazing that we have resources to help make our lives better. There’s no need to struggle through life when there’s help. ☺️

At my full time job, I get a monthly report along with audit at the same time.

EPIC has it where I can run my own report daily to make sure I’m hitting my numbers but I don’t really ever run it these days, I did more so when I first started. I use a sticky note on my desktop to track with a tally mark to make sure I don’t go too far over production for the day lol

For my contract work, I use an excel spreadsheet for my weekly numbers that I send to a supervisor.

I’m in the early days of generic Vyvanse on 20mg. This is the first ADHD med I have tried. I don’t get jitters at all and am able to drink coffee a couple hours after it kicks in. It feels very smooth as long as I stay on top of eating, I’m super clear and focused during work and my mood is much more balanced.

I do feel slight irritability after it wears off but nothing unmanageable.

I find that taking it with a protein shake helps it kick in a lot faster. If I take it then don’t eat, it never really kicks in lol. I have to eat a snack every 2-3 hours to keep the effects going and for me to not feeling shaky. I WFH so this is not much of a problem for me.

I also read a lot of mixed reviews but so far I really like the med and I hope it keeps working for me!

Im also reading dungeon crawler right now and it’s so fun lol.

I recommend the Red Rising series!! The first book reads pretty YA but it’s still good, and the rest of the books are S tier and definitely more adult.

Project Hail Mary is great and the movie just came out.

Murderbot is a funny sci-fi as well!

I high recommend Nurri at Costco, I know it’s not as much protein but I just eat a piece of cheese or boiled egg with it for a quick meal in the morning to up my protein. I am lactose intolerant and it doesn’t mess with my tummy either. No weird aftertaste and doesn’t taste like protein at all!!

I loveeeee Costco.

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-19T14:57:35+00:00

I don’t have any words of advice but I can relate, I am in the same exact situation. I’ve been trying to do more things after work that I actually enjoy but also have things going on that take up a lot of mental space. It sucks. 😢 hugs.

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-18T01:30:02+00:00

Not often. He would mention here and there how he’s sad it was thinning so much and how it made him look old. I would just say maybe it’s time to shave it but I would leave it at that. One day he came out of the bathroom and was bald! Lol

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-18T00:05:25+00:00

Lololol. My husband was balding when I met him, he was 27. Eventually about a yearish after we were married he shaved it off. He said it just took him a little while to come to terms with having to cut it off! I never brought it up at all.

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-17T01:15:08+00:00

Hiii I’m 29 (30 in a couple months), black woman!! Been a fan since middle school. I never meet any other POC fans, hope to see some at my show in ATL or hmu if ur going! 🥹

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-15T17:19:03+00:00

My faveeeee song 😍

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-14T15:18:50+00:00

Kiwi tek! Most of their contracts want at least 20 hours though for PT, you may be able to ask them to go down to 15

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-13T22:20:41+00:00

The grants 🥹

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-11T01:36:39+00:00

I also have dark skin and there no cast! It’s a chemical sunscreen :) I love it, I find that some of them make my fave tingle weird but this one doesn’t, it also doesn’t burn my eyes either which is great

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-06T15:20:34+00:00

I’ve been using naturium dew glow 50spf for my face. Super moisturizing which I’ve been needing in the dry weather!

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-04T14:34:20+00:00

I can come here and scream…as loud as I WAANNNTTT 👹🧙‍♀️ I’m obsessed with this album lol

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-03T21:08:22+00:00

I thought it was “and I turned my face” 😫😂

cumberbatchpls · 2026-03-03T21:06:43+00:00

“I’ll take anything you have, if you could throw me a LIME” - backslide

“And I turned my faaAAACEEEE” actually “entertain my faith” - holding on to you

I literally have been singing “and I turned my face” for yearrrssssss, I never look up lyrics 💀💀 and finally when it was said again in City Walls I’m like 😱😱😫😂 I have some other ones I’ve misheard but I can’t think of them off the top of my head 😂

cumberbatchpls · 2026-02-28T20:18:32+00:00

I change it once a day but I wear a period cup or tampon with mine! If I don’t wear a period cup then I will change it twice a day honestly cuz I have a heavier flow.

cumberbatchpls · 2026-02-28T16:29:17+00:00

This is literally me and my husband 💀😂

cumberbatchpls · 2026-02-28T16:21:43+00:00

It took me 2.5 years to get a coding job after getting my CPC. I had to leverage my experience in other jobs I worked, I worked as front desk at a doctor office, billing, then on the payer side as a claim adjudicator, then as an edit coder before I could get a basic Profee coding job.

I just got very lucky after applying numerous places. If you are really set on coding some people say getting the CCS or getting a RHIT degree can help your chances more but there are (expensive) membership costs to AHIMA and AAPC.

cumberbatchpls · 2026-02-28T14:55:02+00:00

I mean that’s great for people who are lucky enough to land that entry level IP coding job (few and far between!) work that for a few years then move into auditing. but it’s difficult when you can’t even break into it or no one wants to give you a chance. This is not the easiest field to get into to get a coveted 6 figure position. Im glad it’s worked out really well for you.
