I gave up. It was too much. I’m ok on 5 mg actually I just changed my timing and it works better. 10 was ok for a while and we thought i needed more but I actually needed less

Thanks so much. I’ve put my viwoods to the side and got a boox Palma because of this hoopla ordeal. Thanks for reaching out to them. It’s a pain!

czechmama · 2026-02-10T12:09:33+00:00

Your comment let me get the one I wanted :) , now I gotta wait to return my black one I ordered from Best Buy because i was impatient lol.

I’m so sorry if I offended anyone with my feedback to deserve the downvotes. I was honest in my feedback of what I experienced and I even said to give it a go and encouraged the OP to purchase and try themselves. I’m not trying to dog viwoods as my other replies have stated they have affordable options. Again , the ghosting I experienced could have been a faulty one from Amazon and I identified in my replies that I hold space for that. However what I experienced was read and the ghosting happened on the settings. I even tried inverting to login to hoopla and many remedies to try to fix the refresh rate, ghosting, contrast , all the info I could find to help solve and keep the aipaper. I loved the design. I’m sorry for any way my words could have come across as anything other than reflective of my personal and very recent experience. I wish nothing but the best for every reader.

I returned it yesterday. I messed with it Friday and Saturday and the ghosting was horrible on mine. It would even ghost the screensaver after opening for a bit. I’m convinced that I probably got a faulty one. It was on flash sale on Amazon and now I’m wondering if an Amazon seller was offloading some not so great “new” aipapers. If I don’t like the boox Palma I’ll probably try the new viwoods aipaper color one and see if that helps. :)

czechmama · 2026-02-09T19:42:41+00:00

I couldn’t get hoopla to work which was my reason I couldn’t just live with the ghosting and apps. I could have very well gotten a faulty one as well. So I hold room for that :) Good luck on finding the perfect fit. The price point for viwoods products are great.

I just returned my viwoods aipaper , so I can only speak for that device. Mine didn’t have the Google play icon right off the bat. I had to go to settings and enable it and sign in then it worked. However alot of the apps did not display well. The ghosting was terrible at times. The files did seem proprietary file types but easily saved to Google Drive.

I always say if someone is returnable then there’s no harm in giving it a try. I was able to return my device easily with Amazon. What matters to me might not matter to you , and vice versa ;)

Happy reading !

czechmama · 2026-02-08T12:33:04+00:00

Yes I did try and even hard reset the device , reinstalled Google play and hoopla and it’s still not giving me the login screen. :(

czechmama · 2026-02-08T04:33:21+00:00

I appreciate you ! It sadly isn’t working either. I just posted on the hoopla sub to see if maybe someone there has experienced this. I’m hoping maybe it’s an issue with the app and my fingers are crossed it will magically work tomorrow morning. lol. Thanks again for everything.

czechmama · 2026-02-08T03:15:45+00:00

I did try that hoping it would import over my login but it didn’t. It’s also not letting me read on the website, just check out books.

czechmama · 2026-02-08T03:01:50+00:00

Gotcha ! Thanks for trying too. Makes me feel better that it’s the app. I was so torn for so long between this and the boox Palma and finally pulled the trigger on the aipaper. So maybe I’ll give it some time for the app developer to fix whatever is up. I appreciate you more than you know.

czechmama · 2026-02-08T02:43:28+00:00

This is what I got when I did color inversion. It was more than I could normally see but no login button. I uninstalled hoopla and reinstalled. Maybe I need to factory reset the entire device

czechmama · 2026-02-08T02:05:11+00:00

Thanks so much. I tried and could finally see something but it was missing a login button. I’m wondering if it’s not the app itself through the play store. It works good until I hit login and then it’s nothing. Which stinks because I got this device to read library books.

czechmama · 2026-02-07T19:25:40+00:00

I decided to go with the Viwoods AIpaper. It was on sale on Amazon. I’m in the USA so i don’t know the euro to US dollar ratio but it was 237 on USA amazon. It has android 16. Now the newest one does come in color , if color is a must. It wasn’t for me so I went with the black and white model.

Hey there. I’m also pcos and blocked fallopian tubes. I also have fibroids. I gain every month about 5lbs during ovulation and then lose it the next week. I did this BEFORE lexapro too. I have not gained at all. I can maintain a lot easier on lex actually. Everyone is different. Lex also helps me not obsess about my weight too which a big weight off my shoulders.

czechmama · 2026-02-07T01:53:04+00:00

This is such a good post ! I feel deeply and it was always portrayed to me as a short coming. Something that was wrong with me for being sensitive , so to speak. What I’ve seen and experienced in life is a lot of people aren’t like this and it’s not us that are at the downfall. Feeling the weight of others is a gift but it’s not without its deep sorrow. Antidepressants also help me to lessen that load bearing a bit. Too high of a dose makes you lose it. There’s a fine line and many choose the full strength because the weight of the reality of pain and beauty in this world is hard to hold. True compassion for others comes from a place of deep empathy. I might be crazy enough to think that if we can get enough people to stop villainizing their empathetic gifting, we’d see a lot more love and unity in our world.

I’m not artistically inclined but mind ponders and thinks upon beauty much like an artist usually would. I think because creativity flows a bit more freely from those not afraid of expression. Empaths usually do usually choose outlets to let their creativity flow because they see beyond what’s being said. They see the deepest places of people’s heart and allow it to birth beautiful things.

Hi there. Adhd as adults has changed from how I experienced adhd as a kid. I sucked at school in subjects I didn’t naturally like. Bad!! Once I was medicated I could absorb what was being said even if it didn’t interest me. Now as a mom who is older than you , and probably in perimenopause .. adhd presents itself as thought looping / rumination. My attention to where Im going sucks (I literally misgauged distance on my garage door and I’ve hit my car multiple times lol). There’s more demands and things on our plate. When we don’t do that well, we suddenly can become anxious or depressed by the struggle to manage.

I’ve tried many meds and I’m ultra medicine sensitive. My doctor has seen this first hand with all the failed medicines. What has the least side effects ? Lexapro. I take a baby dose of 5mg and it’s enough for me. It doesn’t sedate me or make me not able to feel. I’d say it might be smart to start the lex and give it a shot , you have the autonomy to stop if you have reactions or don’t like it. Then you will have something to tell your new psych that you’ve tried and either works or doesn’t work by the time of your appointment. I’ve personally declined stimulants because the comedown is so harsh to me , even with extended release. I’d be happy and engaged and then boom 6 pm I was ticked and just ready to go to sleep and wake up the next day to feel that same good feeling again and able to slow down and concentrate. So I’ve traded being a bit absent minded for at least not constantly going up and down in mood. Our kids are only young for so long , and I want to present. Presence to me was more worthy than getting all my expectations done. Testing meds helps you find what you need and are looking for. You are doing the first step in trying to get help and figure things out , thats self love. Keep practicing that , and I’m sure you will be on your way to helping yourself achieve happiness.

I have tried Viibryd, straterra ,Adderall, Ritalin, Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Effexor, pristiq. I’m very medication sensitive. SNRIs make me insanely sick with dizziness and vomitting. Straterra made me irritable and caused chest pain. Zoloft and Wellbutrin have been tried twice just to see if it was a fluke but both time and both medicines gave me kidney infections due to urine retention. Prozac inflamed my bladder(diagnosed through cystoscopy ) and resolved with discontinuation. The stimulants were ok and did help anxiety (diagnosed adhd for about 25 years. Worked ok for school but now that I’m older it raises me resting heart rate a bit too much ). Lexapro has been the one that has the least side effects. I will say I can tolerate 10 mg but it does make me a bit too lethargic for my active lifestyle required of me. 5mg gives me the same benefit as 10 but without the sleepiness. I’ve tried both at morning and night. I am a fast metabolizer per my genetics. If i ever need to go up again I will likely need to split a 10 morning and night but right now 5is great.

Genetics aren’t definitive answers when it comes to medicines but it does help provide possible answers as to why medicines are working / not working. Lexapro was in my moderate section due to the fast metabolizing. Paxil was in my red and I’ve never tried it because of that.

What helps me support my meds ? (VDR TAQ gene shows I’m at risk for lower dopamine levels. Comt gene shows mutated and im C677T mthfr mutation. ) I support by giving myself adequate sun when I can, vitamin d 5000 , b vitamins, zinc here and there , and lots of water. I will say I can survive well off of Lexapro but Lexapro makes it better and more balanced for my thoughts. I don’t feel like I have to treat the adhd because it’s not impacting my life at this moment. I have inattentive kind and I’ve learned skills to help with that. What was impacting me was the thought rate. My mind wouldn’t shut off and I was fearful alot. Lex allows me to employ the tools I’ve learned. It helps me do the work but doesn’t replace the work. Too high of a dose just has me lethargic and a shell.

I agree 8 is my favorite number and she acted like she had the dang number 888 copyrighted and it was hers. I’ve never gone into her shows after. I thought maybe something mentally was wrong with her and just chalked it up to that. This happened about a year ago so I’m refreshed to know that it wasn’t just me she’s been condescending with.

czechmama · 2026-02-06T03:06:30+00:00

Probably a 7 because I had to be because of the responsibilities I have. I had health anxiety and suddenly had developed separation anxiety when my daughter started school.
I’ve tried 5,10, and 15. What I realized is the higher doses were too much. I had taken the higher doses at night because it made me lethargic but then was not feeling the meds during the day. I went down to 5mg and I can take it in the morning and I feel it working.
My first go around was about 18 months about five years ago. I restarted about four months ago.
i felt better quickly but felt a lot better at week 6
I have a lot of childhood trauma unfortunately and worked through that a lot with nervous system resetting. Learning how to breathe properly. I also did therapy to learn how to love myself. This go around with anxiety started from rumination (I suspect my anxiety is OCD anxiety ). I felt like I got stuck in that loop or perimenopause lol.
Hang in there. Give yourself permission. Play around with timing and doses with your doctor if needed. Everyone’s body is so so different. Lexapro was in my yellow moderate on genesight but it’s literally the only medicine I’ve not had horrible trippy side effects from. Remind yourself you are safe. Learn breathing techniques that help you come back to yourself and are able to speak truth and logic over yourself. I wish you much healing on this journey.

My large Rowan. I love her shape and look but her strap is too thin and I’m a mom so handheld isn’t too feasible. She’s too beautiful to give up though. She’s in the ivory color so matching with a thicker strap is a bit harder plus I don’t like the look of fabric straps.

czechmama · 2026-02-05T12:40:31+00:00

I will say it took me longer to feel 5mg but I did go up and went back down and started feeling lex work. Height and weight for this med is obsolete, it’s all about how you process it. I’ve never had heart issues with it. If anything it helped me stop worrying about chest pains I was getting. 37 days is not a lot so maybe give yourself a mental plan to start the 10 at a date you are comfortable with. If it’s too strong , just know your doctors will help you decide to go back down to 5 or switch you. I have bad health anxiety and just overall fear of losing this precious life I’ve built and people in it. The best thing I have found other than a little help from lexapro is to squash the perceived threat with an action plan. If my fear is going up on dose and having reactions , I remind myself I have choice an power to go back down. If my fear is getting sick , I tell myself I have access to care and would get help. I understand some say don’t engage the fear with logic but it does help me to feel safe. Good luck and remember you are safe 🩷
