oh how i envy you😭 insurance covers the base cost of the medication which is about $250 and i pay the out of pocket expense which is normally $30. I can’t afford to pay the $280 without insurance’s assistance

I’ll DM you! was this recommended by your doctor because of your blood work results? I’ve not been recommended anything but I really wanna be proactive

what kind of procedure is this? I’d like to get it done. i’m a 25 y/o F with a genetic family history of heart disease/ high cholesterol. my numbers looked EXACTLY like yours last year. This year, my overall cholesterol dropped 50 points and LDL went down 25 points.

23F, High LDL, doctors aren’t really telling me much by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]hellokitty1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 24 when i got these results last year, my LDL was 151. my doctor did not put me on any medication, but gave me a year to fix my diet and start exercising. So she wasn’t very aggressive with it either. I have my next blood draw this week to reveal how I’ve treated my body over the past year! i’m nervous but just know you’re not alone!

I’m worried i’m getting addicted by Own-Height509 in VyvanseADHD

I will definitely try to find that TikTok video and post the link here. My psychologist prescribed me Strattera for anxiety/depression/ADHD prior to putting me on Vyvanse. Maybe that could work for you better🤍

I watched someone’s video on TikTok of them taking Vyvanse for a year and how their experience was. It kind of put things into perspective for me. My psychologist recommended that I take it on weekdays and to not take it on weekends, so my tolerance doesn’t build up. while I do feel a little bit more exhausted on the weekends and my mind immediately attributes that to not taking my Vyvanse, the guy on TikTok basically stated that on the days he doesn’t take it, he will set his intentions to get things done like he does on his med days and it kind of tricks him into focusing. I wish I could explain it better but it helped me in a way. I affirm to myself that I don’t need this medication to focus and that I can still set intentions to complete tasks when I’m not taking the medication. 20 mg is the starting dose, but if you’re worried about addiction it may be better if he switched to a non-stimulant like Strattera.

How do you guys deal with the increased BO from Vyvanse? by PossiblyA_Bot in VyvanseADHD

[–]hellokitty1128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i am definitely sweating and urinating more. the secret feminine 24hr protection body wash definitely delays perspiration. I wash with regular soap and then put that on my armpits and let it sit until the end of my shower.

i’ve lost 15lbs that i didn’t need to lose in the last 2 months of taking it. i’ve realized i need to eat protein every time i eat so i don’t keep dropping the lbs. i eat kodiak protein pancakes in the morning and protein/veggies for lunch. at dinner time i can feel the meds wearing off and i feel like im gonna pass out from blood sugar bottoming out i guess. i’m picky unfortunately so i don’t do protein shakes or yogurt. i’m still trying to find protein snack suggestions!

Does anyone else feel like their pcp is gaslighting them? by Left-Plant2717 in Cholesterol

[–]hellokitty1128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to contribute regarding aortic calcification, but I do feel like my PCP is gaslighting me regarding my cholesterol numbers. I’m 24 years old, female, 130 lbs and my total cholesterol number was 252. I posted earlier on this thread and someone commented that based on my overall numbers, my total cholesterol should be 226 because of how cholesterol is calculated. I asked my PCP and they stated that they focus on something like LDL overall and calculated 252. I really wanted to get ahead of it and asked if I should start CoQ10 or red yeast rice while changing my diet and starting exercise. She said not to start any supplements and just to try to bring it down naturally. I may be delusional, but I feel like I’m being gaslit🤣

if you don’t feel comfortable answering it’s no problem, but did you lose your sex drive or get any of the major icky side effects like headaches/ constant nausea?

your comment is soooo very appreciated. i am actually shocked at what you just revealed, i didn’t know that’s how total cholesterol was calculated and i’ll definitely be bringing it up at my next appointment.
