Might start taking my ADHD meds a little later than 7am cuz by 2pm that shit is basically out of my system and I hit this huge wall that makes the last 2-3 hours of work absolute hell

Taking ADHD medication? I think you mean cosplaying as a Neurotypical.

sending my love and support to everyone currently impacted by the adhd medication shortage.

please know that you are allowed to need extra support if you're struggling without meds

and that there's nothing wrong with you for finding them helpful.

not being able to function in certain ways without them doesn't make you any less worthy of anything.

you are trying your best with what you have, please be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be proud of your achievements, even if they're different to how they would be with meds.

if you're used to doing things with your meds, having to spend time adjusting to not having them is difficult, there's nothing wrong with you for finding that.

I hope you know that you are not alone and can be proud of yourself for how you've managed so far <3

#i recently started elvanse and itd helped me so much #but the days ive gone without have been a lot more noticeable #its easy to worry that my meds made my adhd worse but in reality i think theyve just helped so much i didnt notice until i didnt have them #ill add some resources to this later!! #sending you all my love <3 #adhd medication #reminder #recovery #self talk

I was trying to explain to someone how it feels like to have ADD or ADHD while attempting to function like an adult because they were like, “Why can’t you just do [thing]? It’s easy!”

I asked them to picture a busy intersection with traffic backed up several blocks because the traffic lights aren’t working. Each car is a thought or a task in my head. They all want to go forward so they can reach their destination but every car can’t go at once. So, in my head they are all taking turns inching forward, some farther than others but only when one is reeeeally late for their destination do they find their way through the intersection.

And then finding a medication that works? It’s like a traffic cop showing up in the middle of the intersection! The cop is waving cars through the intersection and although it may be slower than normal flowing traffic, at least the cars are moving now. 🙌

If you can relate to this at all and have never been assessed, maybe it’s time to talk to your doctor about finding your own traffic cop.

Fml 🙃

Trying to study without meds feels like trying to build a house without mortar. It can work on a day when the weather's really good but even then it can all fall apart so easily, let alone if there's wind and rain!

I've studied med free before and I'm sure I can do it again but whether I'll achieve all that im capable of is another thing entirely!

Time to stock up on good diet and exercise and other compensatory strategies, take cover and hope for the best! 😩

I know literally everyone says this but i started adhd medication this morning and my thoughts are so much slower i almost dont know how to deal with it

Its like if you only ever drove on crowded roads where everyone drives like they had nothing to live for their whole life ~~like new york~~ and then for the first time drove on a calm suburban road with like 2 other cars

Also i feel a bit more awake and thats good since im primarily taking it for narcolepsy

Can any of my fellow ADHD havers talk to me about your experiences with adderall? I was just prescribed it today and took my first dose about an hour ago. Not entirely sure what to expect and I'd love to hear from you all.

is adhd medicine (concerta) supposed to make me feel like this

-all the ways which when it comes to function, I am more, and all the ways I am not I am less

- i do things super fast, everything is a hurry .I get things done but a most of them are bullshit like tumblr blogging or checking every internet chronic kpop fan fomo outlet there is .

-I cant do something that isnt top priority in the world because I cant relax enough to do that. its better to sit on the floor and be in prepared mode instead of reading or painting or anything like that

-i have never been on speed but I would assume it feels like this based of the name

-I feel like I can do anything! except read a single page of text of course. thats literally impossible

-everything is on fire I need to put the fire out. right now. first though. where is it

-cant do anything that doesnt give instant gratification (what I mean by adhd medicine induced adhd)

-did I mention that Im quick. and super active. wait the h in adhd stands for hyperactivity....this is wrong...I do this and this and this and this and this and STOP. IM STUCK:

-incredibly hard to move out of situation when im stuck in it. like i could be doing ANYTHING and im like. I cant stop. doing this. whatever it is. I cant move on. this is a familiar feeling that everyone has including me before medicine but now it's like. so much worse. you know the feeling when you cant get out of bed. or youre in the couch and too lazy to get ready for bed. this is like that but dream (nightmares when you cant move) level of lethargy. its like im sitting at the kitchen table. I just got home. but then it's been three hours. and Im still sitting there doing whatever im doing. it's like. so bad. im like. I need to shower. okay this has been sort of an obstacle for me sometimes. but now it's like. shower. I need to shower. hours pass. I havent showered. maybe I just wont shower today. this dysfunction is making me realize how functional I can be in some areas of daily life actually.

-^above would be good if I was working a busy job when things happened all at once. and I had to get things done and not get distracted. but im literally an unemployed uni dropout. im trying to increase my level of focus. im trying to learn how to be in the present and breathe and be less anxious. this medicine is doing the absolute opposite for me. I started this medication because I want to be able to study but how is this supposed to help be in any area in life except like working at the ER or if my job is just answering emails and that kind of thing. all I can do right now is make posts, talk during movies (never been a me thing im very serious about silence during film watching), have a stomach ache and too fast heartbeat, actually work on a novel instead of creating a document that I abandon after the first and only time I write on it, be anxious, eat hot chip and lie

Help??`????????

It's so fucking wild that even suggesting that methamphetamine is in the some class of drug as amphetamine salts will make people want to kill you

Meth is even a prescription stimulant (Desoxyn) that is approved for treating ADHD and obesity im not even like trying to say that taking meth or similar drugs for ADHD is like bad even lol like do what you gotta do https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2013/005378s028lbl.pdf

Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: DESOXYN tablets are indicated as an integral part of a total treatment program which typically includes other remedial measures (psychological, educational, social) for a stabilizing effect in children over 6 years of age with a behavioral syndrome characterized by the following group of developmentally inappropriate symptoms: moderate to severe distractibility, short attention span, hyperactivity, emotional lability, and impulsivity. The diagnosis of this syndrome should not be made with finality when these symptoms are only of comparatively recent origin. Nonlocalizing (soft) neurological signs, learning disability, and abnormal EEG may or may not be present, and a diagnosis of central nervous system dysfunction may or may not be warranted

I understand that how everyone reacts to meds is different and people have different experiences but idk what to do and I've heard a lot of different things from medicated adhd folk and adhd folk who have been medicated.

A part of me can't deal with things staying this way and another part of me doesn't want to lose my adhd because it makes me me.

If anyone wants studies discussing on how dopamine fuels OCD, here you go!

One

Two

Three

Four

Basically adhd medication can aggravate or worsen OCD, so be aware and please treat both if you have both.

I respect pharmacy workers and I acknowledge they are underpaid and overworked.

However, I should not have to find out that my adhd meds are on back order because I called to find out when I can pick them up. Pharmacies should tell the prescriber and the patient if they can't fill the god damn order so that there is time to look for alternative options.

And to the guy who told me to "have your doctor order something that's in stock" when your fucking coworker told me yesterday that the meds would be available for pick up today: that's really fucking helpful, thanks! I wonder why I didn't think of it? oh wait

#what does he want me to do? #use a lower dose? #there's a reason I'm taking the one I am now buddy #start a new medication while on withdrawal from the old one? #honestly worst side effect is the anxiety that is wondering whether my meds will be in stock this time #adhd #adhd problems #adhd medication
