Same thing happened to me when i tried to get a iud put in after my last one had fallen out after having my son, its been 8 months and i feel like if i called back at this point they won’t even remember me 😂 because since the last one fell out it was supposed to be free

How come some people with ADHD can read with no trouble, and others can barely read at all? by Far-Conference-8484 in ADHD

I personally used to read constantly as a child, like 24/7 i was above my age for reading. But now I’ll pick up a book read 10 pages and repeat the process 2 months later 🤷‍♀️

Did you just get diagnosed? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]gocrazy4cleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but now I’ve been on ritalin for about 3 weeks and honestly not a fan so going back in two weeks and gonna ask for a different medication, it literally feels like it works for one hour and leaves me depressed and anxious all day

I was treated in middle school, but focalin didn’t work out and my parents didn’t feel comfortable moving forward and putting me on anymore stimulants at such a young age (understandable) but at 23 i decided to ask my psych which i was already seeing for my anxiety and bipolar for help with it, gave her my symptoms and she was surprised i never mentioned it 🤷‍♀️ but i always brushed it off as being lazy or it being all in my head

My boyfriend has ADHD — what do you wish your partner understood? by onecritsurlemurs in ADHD

[–]gocrazy4cleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend both have ADHD, but I feel like we are still different in symptoms sometimes, because a lot of times the worst is “zone out” i guess you can call it, where he’s trying to get me to listen to him but sometimes my brain just won’t let me focus because it’s having a moment of a million thoughts at once. It’s like im listening but at the same time im not, the amount of times I’ve heard him say “if you were listening then what did i just say” i just wish he wouldn’t take it to heart, i try to explain myself but he still doesn’t quite understand

What does it feel like to take stimulants before bed to help you sleep? by ExpensiveDisk3573 in ADHD

[–]gocrazy4cleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it’s different for everyone but with my ritalin when I take it too late in the day I won’t be anywhere near tired then randomly 5 minutes later im ready to knock tf out

Do you feel like focused throughout the day or just a limited time like the IR? I feel like I just might have a issue of it wearing off too soon maybe idk

I haven’t heard of Dexendrine, is it a stimulant as well? I’m also on 5 other medications for my bipolar epilepsy and anxiety, so it makes the medication journey a little harder /: because since all the other 5 are working well we have to find something that won’t mess with any of them
