#titration — Public Fediverse posts

Hey lovelies :NotoEmojiPinkHeart:

Apologies for the lack of regular posts or updates. Some negative life stuff has been happening since right around the time we started the meds, which has made it more difficult to post regularly. We'll try to give an update on that either today or sometime soon.

In terms of ADHD med titration, 50 mg lisdex works well for us, but we've been needing to supplement it with a quarter of a pill (37.5 mg) of bupropion extended release daily to raise our baseline wakefulness, as otherwise we just couldn't wake properly in the morning and were steadily crashing out by the eveniing.

The specialist monitoring and reviewing us has just prescribed dexamfetamine 10 mg to take as soon as we wake to help. We'll then take our lisdex a couple of hours later when we're more awake and our stomach has opened up enough to let us drink our protein shake.

Not sure how uncommon it is, but we've struggled to consume breakfast since at least our teen years and first adolescence. It only became worse over time. Except in very rare circumstances, we cannot typically consume solid food for the first 2-3 hours after waking.
