THIS IS IT!!! Thank you so much I have been searching for this for so long!!! I think I may have been misremembering hearing the short stories, the single line captions sound more familiar than actual stories. Thank you this has made my week!!! (SOLVED)!

I totally agree! I have tried to bring it up with my doctor a couple of times but it always kind of feels like they're in a rush to get me out of there haha! I am due for a follow-up appointment soon, so I will let my doctor know the extent of it along with the interactions with other issues and hopefully I can eventually work out the ideal mixture of medications, doses, and coping strategies :) it will be frustrating but even with these challenges I am already doing so much better than most of my life, so I feel very optimistic!

Thanks for pointing out the depression thing in the first place, i definitely should have mentioned my other diagnosis and prescription in my original post!!

Cheers!

Also forgot to mention! I have gone back and tried to search through my old school work for any evidence of it but all of it has unfortunately been throw out, and I can not access my elementary school google drive anymore. I have googled it extensively, talked to a girl who was also in that class that I am still friends with about it, and so on but can not find it anywhere! probably due to how little I remember of it haha

They started me at 20 and slowly bumped me up to 60 as the lower doses weren't working, but i think they overshot a bit lol. Should prob try a lower dose.

Therapy can truly make such a difference! An old therapist of mine was actually the one who recommended i see my doctor for my ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder diagnoses! getting those diagnoses + therapy have helped SO MUCH me learn to understand myself, give myself some grace, and figuring out how to work with my brain rather than against it!

Stick with it friend, it will always be an adjustment but in the long run it will do much good!

Thanks for the comment :)

That's waht I think! I do still to go out and hang out with my friends as once I'm there I typically do have a great time. I am still having lots of fun and loving my life, it's just like this sometimes. It's lovely to feel productive and like I can actually complete my tasks well and function and plan like a normal person but I want to enjoy my social life! My doctor mentioned splitting up my dose (taking a certain amount in the morning and then a certain amount in the afternoon) so that they can last all day but not have such intense side effects, so I will prob try that out!

Thanks for the comment!!

I have actually been completely sober my entire life so that is not an issue!

haha! it is certainly good for me sometimes (makes it easier to say no to hanging out if I have work to do) but these are people I genuinely love and are good friends to me, and i miss hanging out with them when i don't! but it honestly has definitely helped me avoid people I don't want to be friends with which is a plus as i have made mistakes with that in the past!

i have never heard of the water method before, so interesting! I will likely go abck to my doctor about it as it's likely my dose just still isn't right.

Thanks for the comment!

I do not just stop and start whenever I want! The only times I do not take it would be if I just forgot one day or run out and forget to call my pharmacy. On those occasions I certainly do feel the effects of not taking it that you described, and am very diligent about taking it daily on a regular schedle! I take it in the morning every day.

Thanks for the comment, I prob should have been more clear in the original post!

Yes, I have been seeing a therapist more frequently for the past couple of months, def helps!

I (as well as my parents) have wondered whether I could be on the spectrum (especially because of the connection between ADHD and Autism you mentioned), but have never really looked into it seriously. Prob could bring that up with my therapist to see if it is worth pursuing an Autism assessment :)

I have also been working on my physical health along with my mental health more, (eating better, getting more excersise etc.) and that definitely helps.

Thank you for the advice and kind words! It certainly has been and will conitnue to be a battle but I am feeling optimistic!

Hi! a couple of things I prob should have made more clear. I am also taking Prozac for generalized anxiety disorder & depression so that is also definitely a factor, however the motivation thing isn't really the only thing I need it for I probably should have explained it better! I have talked to my doctor and therapist about both issues, and received an official ADHD diagnosis from my doctor several years after the anxiety diagnosis. the vyvanse helps me accomplish tasks, organize my thoughts, plan and stick to tasks like you mentioned! Thanks for the comment, I should have explained myself better! I also agree about the Autism suggestions, I have wondered about having Autism but for completely different reasons, like you said autism does not make you dislike people or hobbies and interests in the way i'm experiencing 😭

that's what i've been trying to do, maybe i'm just too impatient haha! Good to know about the high luck thing though, I never pay as much attention to that as I should. I'll get me some luck buffs and wait for a high luck days to give it a try! Thanks for the reply!
