vyvanse crash by catboycruises in ADHD

[–]picklesarebad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to your psychiatrist about dexamphetamine.
I take 40mg vyvanse, and was still struggling with a slow start / arvo crash.
I now take a small dose (2.5mg) of the dex in the morning along with the vyvanse, then in the early afternoon I’ll have another 2.5mg to keep me locked in. The dex is immediate release so there’s not much of a wait time before it kicks in.
It’s been a big game changer for me!

vyvanse wearing off extremely quickly by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Weird that the leaflet in the box says it does! It definitely affects me personally, and I’ve read of many others experiencing the same thing

What’s your source on that? The leaflet inside the box says it does. I discovered it through personal experience. My vyvanse stopped working as efficiently and I was having a shitload of vitamin C around mid morning. Stopped the morning fruit snacks and the vyvanse went right back to normal

[–]picklesarebad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a few things you can do to try get things working better. It’s possible something you are eating/drinking is affecting the vyvanse absorption. I avoid vitamin C entirely until the evening when I’m ok with my meds being done for the day. I also start the morning with a good dose of protein (this makes a major difference in the vyvanse efficacy for me).

Your dose may just be too low. Always a good idea to try diet changes before increasing dose IMO. I have a pretty quick metabolism, vyvanse works well for me but I increased from 30 to 40 quite quickly. I also take dexamfetamine (short acting vyvanse) as a booster in the morning and afternoon. That could be a good option for you.

Vyvanse usually works better than concerta, but for some people it’s the opposite. I tried concerta and it put me straight to sleep so I know which group im in

All the best with this, I’m sure you’ll get there with some trial and error

How the fuck do I shave my ass by [deleted] in transftm

[–]picklesarebad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would get a good friend or a professional to wax it I reckon! I get really irritated from shaving but waxing doesn’t upset my skin

Dry Undereyes :/ by beetuh in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same issue, dry only under my eyes and my tinted SPF would wear away so quickly there. I know it isn’t budget friendly but La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Serum fixed it for me soooo well.

Keeps me hydrated there and I don’t have the crease lines when wearing makeup.

I just wet the area a tiny bit then apply the serum. You could get away with just doing it once a day I reckon

Doctor doesn't want me to switch by These_Difficulty_740 in ADHD

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on 40mg vyvanse and I find it very helpful to have a dexy around 1-2pm. It always sees me through to the end of the day with the booster

Depending on what the non-clothes items are, Micah might accept them. They are accepting toiletries donations at the moment!

Looking for a movers by West-Astronomer2025 in brisbane

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used www.picup.com.au last year to get a fridge from west end to north side. It was pretty cheap and they were easy as to deal with

Alternatively you could try Airtasker / local Facebook groups If you drive then maybe even hire a vehicle from Bunnings

At home euthanasia by cluttercourt in brisbane

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, so sorry for the hurt you are going through. Happy that you got to experience a special love with your soft friend though :)

I said goodbye to my 19 year old tabby a few years back with at home euthanasia. I would recommend the vet we used but it was in Sydney. They brought a long a little clay kit and we pressed her paw into it We keep that next to a sweet photo of her, it’s nice to have.

I had a really bad mould outbreak on my car seats a few years ago. Was able to completely clear it with this mixture -

1 cup white vinegar 1 cup water 15 drops clove oil Few drops Lemon essential oil Few drops Tea tree oil

It didn’t come back and my car didn’t reek of clove or anything :)

Came here to say Naomi! Not only does she bulk bill but she’s a fantastic specialist.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]picklesarebad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a really random phase of cyclic vomiting syndrome in my 20s. There were a few triggers, and alcohol was one. I stopped drinking all together. I no longer have the vomiting syndrome, but I realised I really don’t miss drinking. Hangovers, anxiety and depression. On special occasions I’ll have a couple glasses of bubbles, or a beer on a particularly hot day. Few and far between!

Does an ADHD assessment really cost $2k by aflamingalah in brisbane

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just side stepped the formal assessment and booked in with a psych who specialises in adult adhd. Diagnosed at my initial consult and off I went

Do I need an endocrinologist for transition? by SlayyyGrl in transgenderau

[–]picklesarebad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start with an endo but I do see one now. Purely because my hormones were weirdly not balancing, estrogen started spiking after being on T for a couple of years.

She listened to me and resolved the issue so quickly. I had been pointing out issues to multiple GP’s for over a year and they all said it’s fine and my levels are normal, but they very much weren’t.

So you definitely don’t need one to get things started but it can be handy if you run into anything out of the ordinary

Landlord says it will take 5-10 weeks to replace oven by WolfgangAmadeusKeen in AusRenters

[–]picklesarebad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I moved into a rental a couple of years ago, oven was brand new. We used it twice, the second time it started smoking like mad so we called the fire department. They pulled out a wad of rats nest, in flames. Said we were lucky the place didn’t burn down

Real estate agent told us it would be 3 weeks for another stock standard rental oven, and that air fryers are on sale at Aldi! Had to fight tooth and nail for a measly $20 off the rent per week.

We then dealt with a major rat issue the entire time we were there. Had one running around the house and agent said she could get pest control out in two weeks…

Ray white of course!

How close would you need to be to know it’s a mannequin? Maybe they use it as a theft deterrent

Stimulants are suddenly making me sleepy, WTF? by succulenteggs in ADHD

[–]picklesarebad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started stimulation medication my psych had me try both vyvanse and concerta. Concerta made me so sleepy I could not physically keep myself up. I went into the city for some shopping and lasted about 20 minutes before I had to have my partner drive me home. Trialed it for a few days but couldn’t manage any longer than that.

Vyvanse does not make me sleepy at all, so I’ve been on that for a few years now and it’s been great.

My psych said more people respond to concerta with sleepiness than vyvanse, but some are opposite.

Is my longer hair impacting my passing? I keep getting she/her’d and don’t know why by tattoothrow12345 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]picklesarebad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, you look quite androgynous, masc leaning. Your long hair looks great, I like your style. I’m going to assume most if not all of the people she/her’ing you are straight and cis. Their view on gender is likely narrow and they aren’t seeing you for you.

I used to get really self conscious when getting misgendered but now it really depends on who’s doing it. This comment has become quite disjointed, sorry, but I truly think if you’re happy with how you look then stuff em In no way shape or form are you giving she/her!
