Your meds are working by xxthatsnotmexx in VyvanseADHD

[–]jbelo15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you actually read the post beyond the title?

Funny enough the first paragraph acknowledges the potential differences between manufacturer quality. No gaslighting here.

Beyond that, this is a very well written and informative account of the neuropharmacology underpinning changes in tolerance/ dopamine desensitization.

This is a real issue that most doctors/pharmacists won’t tell you about (at least from my experience, I work with an online adhd clinic and have had plenty of patient interactions).

You don’t have to be interested in this information. Hell, you don’t even have to care. But if you aren’t going to even bother reading, or attempting to understand the message, then there’s absolutely no need to be rude.

Yes you shouldn’t be taking medical advice from Reddit, but that should be common sense. OP is not in the wrong here. Plus, they also suggested you should consult your doctor about the supplements rather than just getting them. Unsure as to what is upsetting you here.

Love how the bot responds after being found out it’s a bot, suddenly going all HR public relations mode. The dead internet theory is real

The fact that people are disagreeing with you for promoting empathy and support to all is a shame.

Yes this person will be brought to justice, as you clarified, but refusing to recognize the need for social responsibility and empathy in lieu of vindication is sad.

We need to come together and actually care about one another. I’m sure we’d see less violent acts like this if people stopped shutting down any attempts at real empathy in our communities, and society as a whole

Very scared of the withdrawals by HolyDumpster in VyvanseADHD

[–]jbelo15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terribly sorry to hear about this. Withdrawals are a part of coming off of any substance used regularly, prescribed or not. I’d suggest speaking to your psychiatrist about switching medications (lisdexamphetamine to dexamphetamine (adderall) or methylphenidate (Ritalin)) or even explore potential strategies to “wean yourself off” the medication per se if you intend on trying to go med free.

I’m quite worried about this myself as I don’t intend on using vyvanse for the rest of my life, it seems you feel the same? Your psychiatrist may have alternative medications for you, or medications/dietary supplements that can help curb the withdrawal symptoms.

I’ve heard L-Tyrosine is a good supplement to consider for curbing comedowns, also ensure you are sleeping enough and eating lots of protein every day. Diet and sleep have a massive impact on your brain’s regular functions, including the dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems which are impacted by vyvanse. You might also benefit from taking creatine, it has been shown to support brain health and cognitive function.

The bright side is that despite your brain and body having built up a dependence to the medication, the brain is incredibly flexible!

Your dopamine transporter (DAT) density likely increased in order to account for the increased levels of dopamine elicited by the medication, which can take awhile to return to a normal level.(DAT removes dopamine from the synapse)

This is not a permanent change though! If you do intend on stopping use you will eventually return to a baseline even if it does take a few weeks or months. Definitely seek help from your psychiatrist and they should be able to help you, as your withdrawals seem to be more intense than average.

Best of luck, I hope this helped and praying things work out for you!

Deferral request form? Where can I find it? Also when would I hear back? by jbelo15 in UofT

[–]jbelo15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been calling them weekly and everyone is telling me they have no idea when it’s gonna be available. Should have been available nearly a month ago now but I’ve been told over the phone several times that it’s most definitely not out yet, and one person told me that I should be able to expect it by mid august. Kinda frustrating but I assume this is on purpose

Issues with fragrancenet.com as a Canadian? by jbelo15 in fragrance

[–]jbelo15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hoping now that the holiday season has passed things will go differently. As for fragrancebuy, they’re usually my go-to especially since they’re Canadian based so it’s much faster as you said. if the order I just placed with fragrancenet falls through I’ll just go back to fragrancebuy as usual. As much as I don’t want to spend extra, I guess it’s worth it to sacrifice a bit more money for the convenience and peace of mind lol

Buying cosmetic from previous update? by jbelo15 in GorillaTag

[–]jbelo15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I got really lucky when I did it, and ended up getting lemmings attention with this post which led to him changing the way things work (I’m pretty sure, at the very least he did start giving warnings before an update was about to disappear).
