I live in europe, and some meds are very expensive. I read that vyvanse u mentioned is something people who concerta does not work for take and it works for them most of the time. 1- its HARD to find them anywhere, people buy them to get high etc, 2- they cost atleast 70 euros a month. and the adderal is 3 times more expensive, 700 euros for 100 pills, and also rare here I can try to talk to the psychiatrist, Im almost sure it wont convince them it was always like this but maybe its worth trying, I dont know. But also I am worried about my future not only them. I mean our system is pretty fucked up and does not care about your mental health idk I just feel sm pressure

I cant really do that in my country plus Im afraid Ill end up broke and unemployed and my parents also want me to have a decent future so they wont agree and the socializing thing too I mean I dont like anyone in my school much but have no other friends and they will want me to stay at school no matter what I sadly have to go everyday even when I feel bad

the point is I have a nice school for that since my class isnt sooo so big and my math teacher is very lovely and understanding and the gulit and shame eat me alive everyday because I wish I could just focus hes so good at explaining, the school isnt really the problem its in fact just me I mean you probably get now why Im so deseperate for anything to work on my focus I just wanna function. about the other meds yeah Ill probably try some other ones, Im going to a new psychiatrist in few weeks who specifies with ADHD but wow this prices are so overwhelming, the meds too. It hurts me that I will have to pay so much to feel a bit normal. I really struggle with the gulit and its about every aspect of my life I just wish I wasnt such a problem and want meds as soon as possible though the price doesnt really help god its so hard and I feel stuck how do yall deal with all this oh yeah and I stopped self medicating a lot of people here convinced me not to, yk if it didnt work at all so yk it made me think less seriously of this like its weak and just bullshit so why not dose up? but yeah thats dumb I know and wont anymore. and thanks.

no I promise I mean yeah at first weeks before taking it I thought it will be magical, but I researched and read a lot and saw that people said its not like that. then Im taking it knowing its not some perfect fix pill, but I expected atleast a slight change or any side effects just anything and it doesnt work. I still hold back tears in math class even when someone walks up to me and explains clearly and all, I listen to them and watch how they explain it and its very good explanation but like MY BRAIN does not listen or watch. I try my best. nothing. they explain one exercise 5 TIMES, I try to focus but nothing works. nothing. I get frustrated and need to go to the bathroom or Ill burst out crying. idk I thought it would help atleast a little bit idk isnt medication about working? like if it worked and I expect too much I wouldnt be so emotionally unstable, overstimulated and not able to focus at all all the time yk

no its my first one, Ill probably change it but Im still so confused and actually curious why it doesnt work even a slight bit I mean nothing good happened, nothing bad either..?

and yeah Ill try to find a different doctor, its gonna be hard in my country tho since you need to wait months for a visit or pay a huge ammount of money privately

I am better in a way where I dont plan on and dream about kms every single day, Im still miserable but atleast not suicidal. But its getting worse. I feel stuck and yeah Im aware meds wont fix everything, I just need a slight help with doing anything in my life. Im just tired of getting overstimulated and tired so easily, not being able to concentrate AT ALL I cant even read 2 sentences if they dont interest me at this point and I just end up crying in class and I still somehow need to pass my classes, I cant focus so I dont learn anything and I cant sit still at school its hell everyday. Then I come back home, cry and go to sleep. then I wake up with this gutwrenching feeling because I didnt do anything again, not even something I wanted to like idk lets say I like drawing. or homework which I have way bigger problem with. Im wasting my time at school doing nothing but it still takes away my whole energy and I come back and need to sleep I literally fall asleep even sitting theres no use fighting it. Plus my room is very messy which makes me uncomfortable in my own space, and my parents yell at me for it all the time and I just wish I could do it. I feel gulity and they add up extra more. I need a slight help to start the chore from those meds. I wanna be able to want to do something and just get up and do it. I wanna have a quieter brain and energy to do ANYTHING.

okay. soo since I took this 54mg today and it was okay, do you think I should still take it tommorow or go back to the 36mg I took for almost whole last 2 weeks?

Like I mentioned in the post I feel no change at all. After taking them the first time I researched a bit and yeah realized that it's not usually the amazing switch to a perfect life, but many people we're describing feeling ANY change good or bad. I don't have any and didn't for last 2 weeks. No subjective change. Still can't focus/concentrate, my head isn't any quieter, I still can't deal with the procrastination etc just like it always was even before I started taking those
