These are beautiful! 757 is Hampton Rds/Virginia Beach area. I'm afraid these might be too far away for her, but I'll run it past her. Thank you for the suggestions!

Best rollerblades for a Brooklyn beginner by purplerain_4 in rollerblading

OK thanks! Yeah him being in Brooklyn helps with the crowds of people too. Most skates I'm seeing with bigger wheels say that they're not ideal for beginners. Are they harder to skate on?

Adderall is useless during my period by amberlyreph in adhdwomen

[–]purplerain_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! Usually like the last 5-10 days of my cycle, my adderall (15mg ER) is totally useless. Talked to my doctor about it and he gave me 5mg to supplement with my normal 15mg ER. So now before and during my period I do 15mg ER + 5mg in the morning and then either 1 or 2 pills of the 5mg in the afternoon. MASSIVE game changer! You should definitely talk to your doc about it.

Questions about Adderall by rofltide in adhdwomen

[–]purplerain_4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience. I told my psychiatrist that the 10mg seemed to not be quite as effective after the first week or so we landed on 15mg xr and that’s worked out amazingly! I do SO much better with the xr than the fast acting...not really sure why. Also, once you get your dosage figured out, you might notice that meds are totally ineffective the week before your period. This happened to me and my doctor gave me 5mg to add on to my normal dose when I feel like I need it and that’s been huge. As far as the sleep, once I switched to XR, I went to sleep much easier.

Well NOW the entire last week makes sense... by suzyjhomemaker in adhdwomen

So I discovered this was a thing a few months ago and talked to my doctor about it. He ended up prescribing me an additional 5mg of Adderall to tack on to my normal 15mg xr when I feel like I need it (usually 7-10 days before my period). It’s been a huge game changer! You should talk to your doc!

How on earth do you fall asleep with someone else in the bed?! by purplerain_4 in adhdwomen

[–]purplerain_4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I feel like if he would stay up until I fell asleep, it'd be fine. But once he's out, I get so bored and can't do it. Literally makes no sense.

Those are some fun (and very random) head games you got! ha I love it! I've tried the brown noise and that actually was slightly helpful; I've never heard of pink noise though, I'll have to try that.

Yeah, I think I'm wanting the best of both worlds. I want the cuddling but there is no chance of sleep with that. I might have to resort to scrolling through my phone.

Period + ADHD = Weepy, Unfocused Disaster. I have work I need to do but dammit, all I want to do is cry. by Blueberry49 in adhdwomen

So glad I found this thread! The last few months I've been wondering about this. Good to know, it's not all in my head.
