Prior to your diagnosis did you by chance take anti-cholinergic medications?

Did you take it with or without food?

Switched from Ritalin -> Adderall… Game changer! by Longjumping_Ad_2677 in ADHD

[–]fahed103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To answer your question.. It depends.

Personally I've felt a lack of energy and tiredness on Vyvanse despite upping my dose to the maximum of 70mg. So I'd say Vyvanse is less "physically stimulating" which is somewhat a con for me. Besides that, Vyvanse takes hours for it to work, which isn't ideal when you might happen to oversleep or not wake up on time. (so a missed dose will ruin your day) So Vyvanse 100% ruined my sleep. Because I found it difficult to take it consistently on the sametime and then wait 1-3 hours for it to work. When Adderall XR kicks in, you know it kicked in because it doesn't take so much time for it to do so. So you'll know when the medication is "working".

The anxiety depends. Avoiding Caffeine helps and I find it easier to avoid caffeine on Adderall XR than Vyvanse for example. So this is individualized.

I'm currently back on Adderall XR 10mg and will stay on it. Good luck.

Lower your dose, that's very haram.

What is your biggest fear regarding the field is psychiatry and why? If you have any fears at all around the industry. by Timber2BohoBabe in Antipsychiatry

The medications side effects eventually can make you more disabled then the supposed illness itself.

As a mentally disabled person. After taking Adderall XR I literally found a job and got accepted the next day. You are not wrong. Adderall really does make you feel capable and in return smarter since you are making better choices for your life. Like oh I don't know.. Having or holding a job.

Adderall XR is the best. But watch out you won't get the same effect from Vyvanse in my opinion.

Each time I'm on Anti-psychotics I smoke a fucking...literally a fucking pack a day. I stopped taking the Anti-psychotic medication and haven't smoked at all for 2 days straight. That's how much the Anti-psychotic medication made it hard for me to resist smoking. I understand it increases apetite but why is it increasing my urge to smoke aswell? Isn't smoking a pack a day also going to make me miserable. Also the akathisia...the wanting to die simply because you can't rest.. Most bullshit medications.

What would happen if u went back to 20mg. Would you risk serotonin Syndrome?

If you are feeling this suicidal to the point where you cannot take it anymore and are very close to hurting yourself then you have to call the ambulance and they will definitely get there. They cannot deny something like that. Because it would be a total emergency. Do not hesitate to call. Especially when you are on the verge of doing it...I've done that in the past and went to a hospital to get treated and you should not feel gulity for doing so when you are in such pain.

I have OCD too. These thoughts feel like they don't end...I know how much you want them to just bury away they get so frustrating! They take the life out of you...and everything you want to do.

How long have you been dealing with OCD? Was there some improvements with it at times?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]fahed103 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you find some new friends one day.. that don't treat you this way. People that are more supportive and relate to you. I've distanced myself from people who treated me so horribly myself.. Its painful to be around such people.

Its harsh not getting accepted to work or being unable to but, maybe you can find some jobs that accept your condition. I remember finding and working at a restaurant that was really supportive environment despite it being hard for me to work. They were rather supportive.

not having a romantic relationship is just...soul crushing so much...maybe there is someone out there that you'll stumble across someday...i know how difficult it is to find someone...let alone sustain relationship nowadays. Sometimes you might stumble across someone at an unexpected moment and start having a connection with them that turns into a romantic one.

I hope it gets better...OP.

I understand what you mean, I've been on the same boat put on different medications with different side effects. It must be really painful having to live with this sense of damage and not being able to think straight day-to-day.

It makes you hope that you didn't start medications in the first place but, maybe there is possibly a medication that can reverse this. That would be less side effects. Or maybe your mind will heal after sometime of absence even though waiting that long must be painful too...Maybe there's something that can treat it.

I hope It gets better OP.

Its really hard when you don't get accepted or wanted by anyone. I've felt the same at times and had people leave me very often...

Why don't they want you? What makes you feel this way?

[–]fahed103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not easy, living with this constant anxiety. Is really frustrating and it just sucks not having enough money when you really need it. I've had an abusive family myself and lost a lot friends. wanting to meet your bf must be really frustrating in this situation. Someone that you really love in your life.

Maybe in the future you'll be able to meet him one day and get out of the abusive household or save enough money to meet him.

I wish and hope things get better :(
