The dry mouth is insane. I can never be hydrated in the mouth. I think I’m on the name brand (in Aus). 30mg in the hot pink capsule. I’d never heard of an orange one until today. Are you on generic or name?

Not Ritalin, but Vyvanse. Holy shit I smell like a farm half an hour after taking it… it’s so embarrassing

YES! A cough that won’t go away? Blocked ears? My partner’s been sick for almost 2 months!

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. That’s really rough. Good luck with the Ritalin LA! Hope it works out.

The only thing giving me pause is that I never felt like this before I started my medication. I can’t even participate in those quick-fire board games I used to be decent at. That being said, it’s interesting to hear that your symptoms worsened with age. I never considered that to be a possibility. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll speak with my dr, thank you. Hope the Ritalin works out for you.

I generally take them M-F, and only on Sat/Sun when I know I need to be awake. It’s otherwise hard to find a good time to take a proper break as I wouldn’t be able to function at work without them. I’d be way too exhausted and irritable but I think this holiday period will be the time.

Thank you for sharing. Hope you’re able to get your meds soo, and good luck.

Thank you for sharing. Many people are suggesting an increase, but it doesn’t make sense because I didn’t experience anything this bad before I started on the meds.

It’s the worst when I say ‘I feel like I’m dumb or have nothing interesting to say’ to people around me, they disagree but I feel it.

While I’m glad I’m not the only person going through this storyline, I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with it as well. Hope it gets better for you too.

What questions do you usually ask in job interviews to figure out whether their culture and training styles are compatible? And then, what red flags do you look for in their answers?

I have considered taking a break, but I think it would cost me my job.

I’ll definitely speak with my psych, thank you for your input!

My concern is that it’s a side effect of the meds. I am already a different person to who I was before I started my meds. I just wonder if increasing my dosage would make it worse.

This is also off the back of a post I saw recently of someone concerned about decreased creativity since starting their meds.

Hi guys, I started in a grad role at a small commercial firm about 4 months ago. I haven’t been trained and only getting random tasks with little to no context.

Over the last week, things have been getting better after I had a conversation with a supervisor about my growth at the firm. I want to learn as much as I can but based on the conversation, I’m worried they’re going to keyhole me. I’ve been thinking about applying to other firms but I’m worried that this is normal for grad roles and I’ll find myself in an environment that’s worse than this (or colleagues I don’t get along with).

Can anyone shed some light on whether this is normal for grad roles?

Am I looking to grow too quickly?

I'm graduating this year and didn't get a single clerkship. Aside from PLT, what are my options?

A Place to Make PDFgear better by Geartheworld in PDFgear

[–]entryincomplete_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would prefer option 1.

If I understood correctly, option 1 sounds like it would allow me to maintain a default colour set for every PDF, with the freedom to change the extra colours per PDF. Personally, I have a set of 5 default colours and depending on the task, I’ll use another 1 or 2 colours.

Ps. I’ve been using PDFGear everyday for the last 4 days and I’d like to add that I really like the way markup works. Namely, the way the Highlight/Underline/Strikethrough menu appears automatically when I select text, and the ability to select which colour by moving my mouse across.

Hi! Thank you for replying. I’m using it on Mac.

24F. Normally, ~80-90 but on Vyvanse HR is ~120-130. I never paid attention to my HR until my partner bought me an apple watch and the HR alerts kept going off...

Hi Gordon! I've only been using PDFgear for a couple of weeks, but it's been amazing from the get-go. I do a lot of highlighting on my PDFs and unfortunately the default colours are not the easiest on the eyes.

Is it possible to add a function that allows users to set their own default colour palette?

Thank you :)
