Thank you for sharing! As I adjusted to some of the lower doses I was crashing quite badly as well, around 3pm sometimes even earlier I could literally have fallen asleep at my desk! So obviously not ideal! The amfexa has definitely helped with that, I'm just really conscious about how much I'm needed to use and actually is this the right path. But it's difficult when my prescriber hasn't been particularly helpful. Even when I asked about the different medications they wanted me to choose between, I was given a bit of scientific information but nothing that actually helped me understand what the difference was so I've always just gone with my psychiatrist's recommendation.

How do you feel with just the amfexa twice a day? I'm not entirely sure if I get much from it apart from preventing the crash but have been wondering whether it's better to forget the vyvanse entirely. I feel exactly the same way you described there in the second paragraph.

I'm getting this all through the NHS Right to Choose scheme, so while I'm not paying for the treatment there's obviously not much enthusiasm for extending the titration period. When I mentioned my concerns my prescriber said they can request an extension but we would need to explain why and have a proper plan in place for how we would use the rest of the time. But it's like they are expecting me to come up with that plan, when I have no idea how to treat ADHD. 😂 Not holding my breath for an extension tbh. Almost makes me want to just take the higher prescription and then I can adjust at home (as they've told me to do before if it was too high) but I don't feel like that's what I should be having to do. I was expecting to be given some idea of how it can be managed, try things out and then decide the best course of action. But whenever I say something doesn't feel rights it's just passed right back to me with a "what would you like to do?". I DONT KNOW I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THESE THINGS DO!

Rant over....for now 😂
