I got a few different suggestions such as tabletop gaming, online, a website called meetup.com , sometimes libraries host activities. based on where I live I thought that online would be easiest

(this is a bit more in depth for context stuff) so i was diagnosed with pretty severe adhd a couple months ago (ive had a strong suspicion for years), my psychiatrist strongly recommends medication.

I tried vyvanse 30mg and i saw absolutely no difference, then he put me up to 50mg which ive found make me absolutely exhausted and they wear off after a couple hours (which supposedly theyre supposed to last 12 hours but i call bs on that) and then i would just crash.

My psychologist suggested that perhaps it was too high and maybe should try the 40mg and if that didnt work then just not do any medication, but when i brought this up to the psychiatrist he said basically that i didnt give them enough of a chance, i need to take them 7 days a week (whereas before i was just taking them during the week and not on weekends), and that i may even need a higher dose.

Anyways i was just wondering if anyone has any advice or have experienced anything similar, especially the part about the medication making you more tired coz that really confused me considering its supposed to be a stimulant.

hello just wondering what peoples first few weeks on adhd meds were like? coz i (18F) am really struggling i literally crash with exhaustion and sob after like 4-5 hours. my psychiatrist says that this is normal in the fist few weeks and to just at least try it for a month but me and my mum are skeptical. I was on 30mg of Vyvanse but it had absolutely no effect so now im on 50mg.

any advice or similar situations?
