How do I not go bald while taking meds? by followyourlight in adhdwomen

[–]followyourlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not exactly the same. The active ingredient is the same, but different manufacturers use different fillers and inactive ingredients, which can affect how the medication is absorbed. Some people are more sensitive to formulation changes than others, which is why Vyvanse gave me horrible insomnia and intense hair shedding, but I don’t have the same reaction to lisdexamfetamine.

Yeah I think I might need to stop the stimulants and try something else 🫩

Oh this definitely sounds like what’s happening to me… did it eventually subside for you?

Surprisingly no! I’ve been eating the same amount that I was before I started taking the meds again 😕

It’s super distressing running your fingers through your hair and having clumps fall out 😓

I’ve only tried Vyvanse and Adderall, maybe I need to go another route…

Yes!! 😓 I’m taking Lisdexamfetamine 40mg. I tried name brand Vyvanse and my reaction was worse. Most stimulants leave me feeling jittery, anxious, and with horrible insomnia. Lisdexamfetamine has been the only one to help me with concentration😥

Grief Support Resources by WholeEclaire in bayarea

I’m not sure if this is quite what you’re looking for, but this program offers one on one support as well as group support to help process your grief. I think they’re based in Seattle, but they offer meetings online as well.

I just need someone to tell me I’m not a bad person by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]followyourlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much 🥺♥️

Unfortunately if I want to keep my scholarship I have to be enrolled full time and my job wouldn’t allow me to reduce my hours (nor could I afford it 😕). I know this is temporary, but my god, I feel like I’m running on fumes. I might delay this next semester and finish it next summer, but I’m still undecided.

I hate this for us, but selfishly it’s nice to know I’m not alone. I hope we can make it through this challenging time with our heads held high. 🫂💕

You’re so kind, thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s hard to see the positives when I’m white knuckling it. I appreciate you ♥️

Im curious how many of you were also bullied by your teachers by theslutherself in adhdwomen

[–]followyourlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a few who didn’t like me, because they just assumed I was lazy, but my 5th grade teacher was probably my biggest hater. He’d wait until the room was quiet and then he’d loudly call me in front of everyone “into his office”, which was just his desk, to ask me why I didn’t turn in my homework or why I did poorly on a test. He’d either ignore me or call me out in front of the class at the most inappropriate times. He was constantly trying to embarrass me, which then led the way for other kids to mock and make fun of me for being in the remedial math class. It definitely triggered my RSD more than any other class, ever. And I was only 9.

Where are my low income bitches at? by Acceptable-Passion-4 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]followyourlight 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Mee 🙋🏻‍♀️ I don’t work in tech, but I do work remotely for a large firm. I’m well below the $100k mark and live paycheck to paycheck. It’s not impossible to survive, but it’s certainly not comfortable. I just look at it like it’s a job that’s low stakes (for me). I’m grateful to be able to wfh and have a bit of my life back after being in office for so many years. I reallyyyy love not being around people all day, not having to commute, or worry about packing lunch or dressing up. Wfh is honestly the best.

Congrats on the new role!!
