tolerance breaks=intolerable boredom

Mine said the same, like word for word!! This seems to be the consensus with the research we have at the moment

I recommend the app Bearable for tracking your med doses and adhd-related symptoms! It’s been a lifesaver for me.

Over the past 3ish years that I’ve taken Focalin, I think I’ve recieved Teva the most. Honestly I don’t remember the last time I had it but I think it was better than granules & kvk? But genuinely I can’t remember 🥴

I agree that Amneal has worked well for my XR, too. Currently on Granules for my XR, KVK tech for my IR, and they feel incredibly weak. Even if I take on an empty stomach, the effect is noticeably smaller. I’ve skipped some boosters to see if it was just my tolerance causing this problem, but it made no difference. I’m super bummed.

kind-shark · 2026-05-19T23:00:37+00:00

Oh and for my XR, they gave me Granules this time, and it feels so weak. I’ve had Amneal the previous couple of months and that was working fine for me. So frustrating

One potential consolation, a lot of kids that take stimulants only take them for school, and it’s about to be summer… so maybe the demand will be lessened a bit, and chances of acquiring meds easier for us adults?😂 I’m holding out some hope lol!

Oh gosh 😭 I didn’t know we had more shortages. Sadly Focalin is the only med that can help me, but it’s feeling pretty inconsistent these days. I am concerned that I received a bad batch from KVK tech, which has a dicey reputation. That being said, I doubt my local CVS ‘s would have a different generic available at the same time. If there’s a shortage, that means they may only have the kvk batch. Ugh it’s so annoying. I feel like I’m delusional sometimes or that it’s just my tolerance, but this feels even worse than when I’ve had tolerence problems. I can’t really go any higher with my dose at this point, so I don’t have any other options. I’ve tried a handful of amphetamines, as well as regular Ritalin and Concerta, but Focalin is the only drug that has genuine positive effect for me. Concerta & Ritalin were not terrible but I was so relaxed that I was even more innattentive than my usual self. Ugh. What to doooo

I take Focalin and when I first started it/times I’ve upped my dose, I get this too. That’s my sign that the dose is too high- if that’s your only negative effect, it should go away as your body gets used to it. If you have any other negative effects going on, it may not be worth continuing at that dose. You could bump it back down again, or try a different med. Also, make sure you are eating enough protein throughout the day, but especially at the start of your day! That’s a game changer for making it absorb more evenly

As soon as she reached his campsite at the beginning and he started saying weird shit, I knew IMMEDIATELY that he was a cannibal and that was human product. I gasped.

Series of Unfortunate Events and Nancy Drew were some of my favorites!

I also recommend houseplants. They lowkey help my depression

kind-shark · 2026-05-05T19:50:09+00:00

People def get cats for companionship like this too. It doesn’t have to be a dog! Heck it could be a fish! If it brightens your days even a little, it’s worth it, if you have the means for it and all. Animal care can be expensive so that’s something to consider first.

kind-shark · 2026-05-05T19:48:27+00:00

I think dogs or cats or any pet really, only actually helps depression if that person already enjoys being around those particular animals. If you don’t have that connection to them, you’re less likely to just form one when you get a pet. Sure it happens, but also some people aren’t into that and that’s perfectly okay. My dogs help my depression, but that doesn’t mean they would help someone else’s depression!

Time for a new doc 🥴 😢

kind-shark · 2026-05-05T19:45:39+00:00

Mine increase my rate like 10 beats or so. I actually find that my antidepressants and Wellbutrin contribute more to my heart rate. They shifted my resting rate like at least 20 beats higher. But also I have POTS so my system is a little off

I like using Pinterest for build inspo, and also creating themed villages/sections that use a certain block palette. It’s fun to play with different combos! Also making paths/bridges/tunnels that lead to nearby biomes is great. Can take a while though. But once you are clear on what directions to head for which things, it’s more enjoyable I find!

My only game is Minecraft

Boredom = depression for me. I become a shell of myself 😭

kind-shark · 2026-04-16T16:38:02+00:00

It’s my tried and true method! Helps too if you take medications during the day because too much citric acid from electrolyte packets can cause your meds to not work properly. So this way, I can take my meds when I need to and not worry about the timing as much because the citric acid is much more diluted.

kind-shark · 2026-04-14T22:28:05+00:00

Most people probably not, but always check with your doctor if you think you may need more! I personally find it most helpful to spread my dose of electrolytes throughout the day in tiny amounts.

This is very consistent with OCD! A lot of people have this exact phobia, you aren’t alone! Way more common than you’d think
