CW: psychiatry, medication, ADHD
I didn’t talk about it here but actually if anyone around me has some input it would be greatly appreciated :boosts_ok:
I have finally managed to get a review and discuss my ADHD treatment as I wanted to get some support for the emotional aspect of ADHD and because my treatment wasn’t as effective, thinking about trying guanfacine as a supplement to my stimulant, but they said that they do not prescribe guanfacine in that clinic lol (and probably it’s pretty rare under the NHS)
so they offered me to either try Methylphenidate instead of my current one (lisdexamfetamine/Elvanse) or to see my GP and add in back an antidepressant (as I felt better at the start of my stimulant, when I had an SSRI as well). But they didn’t give me much information as to how I should make that decision besides a leaflet about methylphenidate (which I still need to read lmao).Would anyone have any suggestions of how to consider going for Methylphenidate over Lisdexamfetamine please? I’m wondering if MPH wouldn’t be better for me since my sleep is heavily dysregulated atm and I wonder if Lisdex isn’t the cause (though it always has been an issue for me obviously) but idk.
I find that though Lisdex help mentally cope I am still overwhelmed and I find it difficult to keep up with doing tasks, motivation is lacking, and going up in dosage makes me go insane and super depressed. It really helps with energy levels and socialising though

2nd day on higher dose of #Elvanse and I've had a really good productive day. Did some work on new music project and restrung & cleaned three guitars (including one Floyd Rose). Felling pretty good!

Maybe I'd have a bottle at the ready for days I wanted to l o c k i n, but I think I'd be fine otherwise. Maybe. It would certainly be an individual decision.

Day 1 on #Elvanse, everything seems to be going OK. I've got more energy than usual and feel a lot more alert. Trying to sort out multi-stage tasks has been met with some success, today's planned project only defeated by a missing power supply. I've been keeping a diary of how I'm feeling and what I've been doing as well as how much I'm eating and drinking. I definitely feel very self-conscious, but so far no bad side-effects. This is good.

Morning!
I managed to sleep at normal people times (ish)!!
All it took was 10 days of no ADHD meds.
It's honestly not optimal, choosing between sleep and focus.

🚨 Breaking news: ADHD meds might make you trip over your own feet or steal a car! 🚗💥 But don't worry, this study is for "healthcare professionals" only—so the rest of us can blissfully ignore these apocalyptic side effects. 🙃

没吃过这么便宜的药（？）refill我的处方才花了了6毛8惊呆了。。。？？？ :pika: 本来觉得stimulant处方会相对较贵的，，， :cwy:
除了医保处方包含的部分以外，强烈安利一下人在🇨🇦加拿大的ADHD病友们申请innovicares的这个处方药coupon卡（电子版立即申请立即就可以使用），基本上ADHD所有的药（应该还包含很多别的brandname处方，可以上官网看看）都有减免部分的药钱，如果自身没有医保也没pharmacare的话，自费也能省很多钱 :cwy:“The innoviCares card is a free prescription savings card available to all Canadian residents, and is funded by participating pharmaceutical manufacturers. ”

@samhainnight I'm eager to hear what folks have to say about this. I've heard that citric acid can also interfere with #stimulants but am unclear on whether or not this is actually true. I don't think my meds work well enough for me to notice interferences much, sigh.

Great - looks like the medication supply issue that they said would be resolved by xmas only got worse. All brands and dose sizes of my medication are affected - only one that even had a next available date was APRIL! I'm completely screwed.

I really wanted to do stuff today. I wanted to write some stuff for people. I wanted to clean the apartment. I wanted to maybe even get a bit of light exercise in.
Instead, given that ADHD meds led me on a rabbit hole of computer stuff until 4:30 AM last night, I am too physically fatigued to do almost anything other than sit at the computer and try not to fall asleep again. I did use the time relatively productively, given that I set up some file synchronization and automated some backups, but fucking hell that was about five hours later than I intended to stay up.
Fellow ADHD brains: How the heck do you get yourself to stay somewhat consistent with bedtime? Is it just a matter of trying to get your hyperfocus to pause every once in a while or are there other strategies I could try?

Stopped taking my #ADHDmeds over the Christmas break because I didn't need them. I was fine, content even; I kept the house tidy, I attended to all the adulting required of me, I even went out and had some fun, did some knitting, wrote a little, did some drawing. No problem.
I'm back at work today and am useless because I haven't taken my #ADHDmeds in over 2 weeks.
My conclusion is that my #ADHD isn't actually a problem for my life so much as that #ADHD is a problem for when I have to engage in the #dystopia that is late #capitalism when I have to perform as a cog in its soul destroying machina rather than live as a human being. I have to take mind altering drugs to be able to deal with the mind numbing tedium that is earning a living via indentured servitude rather than doing whatever the heck it was that I was naturally born to do.

Me, two hours ago: I should get lunch.
Me, now: I still need lunch.
ADHD meds really do wonders for screwing with your appetite, huh? It seems like I'm decent about having breakfast, but once I take my meds I struggle to remember to eat.

Yay! Just had my first lisdexamfetamine dose in two months! 💊*
Had expected the meds shortage to last until the new year, so this was a pleasant surprise
Btw, don’t forget your meds! :infinity_rainbow:
*Actual colours are turquoise and white
