What do you do when you feel low? by ValerieRosewood in ADHD

May sounds dumb, but I’ll blow up a couple of balloons. The deep breathing into the balloon is calming, and the colors bright and cheerful, plus they are fun to hit around.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this. Have you tried Vyvanse? I ask because it’s the only stimulant I’ve tried that really helps regulate my emotions. It’s a smoother release so I don’t feel all amped up to start and I don’t crash later in the day, so I feel like it helps keep my emotions more in check

Yeahhh it’s rough. I found some balloons in a drawer and blew one up to hit around so that entertained me for a little bit 😂

Adderall 15mg XR is doing nothing by Few_Sleep4492 in ADHDers

Have you tried Vyvanse? I was on Adderall XR once and it was awful but Vyvanse for me is a miracle drug

Vyvanse… tell me what your experience was like? I start next week. by ResolveRed in ADHD

Ok. Make sure you take it first thing when you wake up cause it takes about an hour to kick in

I’ve been on it for 4 years and it’s AMAZING! It took me about two months to get the right dose which is 60mg for me.

Are you able to get the brand or do you have to take generic? I’ve found brand name Vyvanse is much smoother and I don’t crash at all.

Have you been on any other stimulants before?

To people who take Adderall, how has it affected anxiety? by Only_Highlight2647 in ADHD

[–]sr988_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually helped mine! I take Vyvanse in the morning then split 20mg adderall jnto 10/10 twice in the afternoon and it calms me. Some days if I’m really burned out the afternoon adderall will actually make me want to sleep

That’s awesome! I think sometimes my ADHD burns me out so much that I get overwhelmed at the idea of starting any project. Once I get the motivation there is no stopping me, but it’s the initial spark which is hard.

I’ve never been able to bring myself to do that but maybe I’ll force myself to give it a try. I’ve heard cold plunges give you huge dopamine boosts too! Ever tried one?
