#vyvanse — Public Fediverse posts

It's a long shot, but I have a question for fellow #adhd folks:

Has anyone of you ever noticed any very noticeable improvements on side-effects of your medication after losing (a lot of) weight? Perhaps even specifically in regards to hot flushes, constant sweating and/or stomach cramps caused by the meds?

Without meds my mind doesn't work, but with meds my body fucks up. (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Warnung! ⚠️

In den nächsten Tagen wird es sehr heiß. Viele Leute wissen nicht, dass Medikamente temperatursensibel sein können.

Medikamente können bei Hitze ihre Wirkung verlieren, verändern oder sogar gefährlich werden. Auch im Schatten oder im Schrank!

Beispiel: Lisdexamfetamin, auch bekannt als Elvanse, darf nicht bei über 25 Grad Celsius gelagert werden. In den nächsten Tagen kann das durchaus für viele von uns Raumtemperatur sein!

Dasselbe gilt für viele medizinische Cremes, Psychopharmaka, Kapseln und Tabletten; aber nicht für alle. Estradiol-Gel beispielsweise hat keine besonderen Lagerbedingungen.

Bitte schaut, ob eure Medikamente Lagerungshinweise haben. Falls nötig, bewahrt sie bitte im Kühlschrank auf. ❄️

Gerne teilen.

So, being a few years into #VyVanse life, here is how it has helped with the #ADHD aspect of my neural spice mix: I can choose to do any activity or work, whether that work is interesting or not, and I can just go and go and go at it.

It has not helped me to show up on time or remember to scoop the litter or any of that Normal Adult stuff that is simply expected of every North American, but once I show up, I can get shit done, period, and that alone is a major upgrade for me.

I can remember decision paralysis, I remember spending whole days sitting in mental turmoil about what colour to paint a thing, or some other ultimately inconsequential matter. I no longer seem to suffer from it, very much.

Last spring/summer, we got more yard and house maintenance done than any previous year, and I intend to take that much further this year, we're gonna get this shit cleaned up enough that we are no longer the trash on the block. I no longer fear the labour, I am eager for it.

Which brings me to this morning's little #RaspberryPi story.

All last winter, my table saw was working and I could have been doing some projects out here in the garage, but it was a huge mess, so part of this spring work is getting this place cleaned up and better-equipped for over-winter woodworking, including some proper organization and storage, and especially, I have finally mounted a large screen (old low-res LCD TV donated by a friend) and I'm figuring out whether permanently mount this old laptop by it to act as the garage computer, or perhaps use a Pi, perhaps one of my old ones.

I determined yesterday that my most-numerous Pi2s are not remotely fast enough to act in this capacity, as I need a functional browser for viewing Youtubes and such. I don't know that there's much useful life in the Pi2s these days, other than as the brains of Escape Room props.

My solitary Pi5 was intended to be the guts of my stage Zynthian, but I'm now thinking I need a real cpu to handle my synthesis and keyboard modeling needs, so perhaps the 5 can be the Garage system.

So, this lovely sunday morning, I drilled the 5 to the wall (it's in a mount, I'm not a monster) and ran the Imager to stick the regular RasPi OS on it.

Now lemme say, the Imager software has really become great - gets all your popular Firmwares into a single location without creating some nightmare "PiHub" server, and the handling of customization, where you can set the Wiffy, SSH keys, all that, before you image the chip, so you no longer have to login and do the Locales and Wiffy country code and all that painful shit you used to have to do, it's fantastic.

And so, I thought I'd try out Raspbeery Pi Connect. I can already ssh to it via Tailscale if need be, so it's not at all necessary, but hey, gotta try it once. And currently, they're shitting the bed on that one.

So anyways, had to create an account, great, it's got 2FA, great, all good to go, but there is no way to manually create your activation id thingy yourself, that I can see, and paste it into the Imager's customization field.

From what I can tell, the AppImage has bundled a copy of Google Chrome, which launches when you attempt to connect to Connect, and it expects Chrome to automagically paste the code in.

I could have created it myself and pasted it in seconds. But it does not offer that choice. Why, @raspberrypi , can I not just create my thingy myself and paste it in?

So I tried to do it their way, but after it launched their stupid chrome thing and I get my password out of Firefox and paste it in, Chrome attempts to launch the Imager, for some reason.

So short story long, I'm probably not gonna try that again for some time. It took them years to get a good, sophisticated Imager working, it might take them years or decades more to figure that anyone using one of their products does NOT need any help from a Google browser. We need to be able to manage our shit ourselves.

I wrote a blog post that I wasn't sure about.
Not sure about much these days to be fair.

i am really grateful to my #adhd meds for allowing me to be productive and get my life in order somewhat.

but the effects they have on my personality are sometimes very frustrating and depressing.

on a stupid whim that crossed my mind at 21:00, i ended up writing a whole ass 5k word essay about that thought to a friend. i then vented to another friend about that topic in voice chat for nearly three hours straight until midnight, ruining her night. i knew it was a complex and overwhelming topic but i physically couldnt stop... i then spent another hour desperately trying to put it into more concise words for fedi, and gave up.

i am being told that i ramble too much constantly now. that i keep repeating and circling around the same point. that i'm uncomfortable to be around because i vent and dump so much. i don't know when to shut up about things that occupy my mind and special interests. i've even been told that my writing reads like chatGPT, with the bullet points, dashes, list formats and all.

people told me i was annoying. people gently tell me that i've been repeating the same thing three times already. people tell me that i'm being stressful. i used to have social skills, where are they?? why cant i be pleasant to be around anymore...

and i mean, look at this shit. this post alone is essay length again. i hate it. i can't just write a single paragraph and be done with it. it always needs five repetitions, three examples, more flavour and more background information.

meds, please leave me alone, please just let me chill, stop forcing me to obsess over and waste time on this stupid shit. please. i just want to sleep. i don't wanna alienate all my friends. i dont wanna be annoying. i wanna be pleasant to be around.. everyone's leaving me. help

Every now and then I get responses like this and can't stop shaking my head. Thankfully, it's very rare.

Finally!! After half a year I'm medicated again! :D
I feel amazing for the first time in forever!

#Adderall seems to kick in a lot quicker than #Vyvanse! :nkoHypers:

#ADHD #medication #meds

I took meds this morning (minus the #clonazepam) and I'm feeling infinitely better than yesterday. I think I just need to splurge for an appointment without #healthcare to get refills.

I feel like I need to rip my skull apart to get relief at this point. #RedBull #medicine #ADHD #vyvanse

No meds today so I've got a bad headache. Maybe this #RedBull will help 🫩

I haven't woken up this late in a long time 😬

I took my #Vyvanse late too so we'll see how that works out 🤣

#ADHD Stimulant Drugs Linked to Cardiomyopathy
The study adds to growing evidence of potential long-term harms associated with stimulant drugs like #Adderall, #Ritalin, and #Vyvanse. Previous research has linked these medications to cardiovascular issues...

Trying to make the most of day while not having had #Vyvanse. On top of that I feel like I may be getting sick 🤒 It's tough...I've gotten a bunch of blankets and pillows and am situated downstairs for the time being. :nkoDead:

Blaaaahghhagah I hate how useless I am without #Vyvanse....🤬😓🥴

#ADHD #medication

Anyone out there using #ADHD meds like
#lisdexamfetamine / #lisdeksamfetamin ?

Typically aka #Vyvanse #Aduanz #Elvanse #Volidax #Balidax etc

...but you need a higher dosage compared to what's recommended?

The thing is, my previous Doc (and also ADHD expert) allowed me to exceed the recommended max dose (80mg/day) while testing #Ritalin (#methylphenidate / #metylfenidat) to find what actually worked for me.

(1/2)

Alright I'm awake. Grateful for the #Vyvanse!

#ADHD #medication 😊

Finally had to dig into my super emergency #vyvanse stash because I really haven't gotten much done this week and it feels terrible.

I'm feeling much better this morning and am ready to get stuff done! 🤩

ADHD drug gets 23.5% production boost from DEA amid shortage - Enlarge (credit: Getty | George Frey)

While supplies of Addera... - https://arstechnica.com/?p=2047969 #controlledsubstances #drugshortages #adderall #science #vyvanse #adhd #dea #fda

#Vyvanse (generic, per insurance mandate) appears to still be near-impossible to obtain, for a person in the US with #ADHD. I had to switch to #Adderall XR (generic again) and haven’t experienced many supply-chain issues since.

Nevertheless, the events which led me to this place - we may not have found the definitive proof yet, but The Grift feels strong with this one.

Oh wait. Did I say grift? I think I meant Capitalism.

Medication for ADHD is very important. Exercise is also highly beneficial as well.

Whenever possible, both of them should be combined for the best result in reducing ADHD symptoms.

A genuine question:

If medication is practically impossible in your situation, do you think regular exercise enough to manage ADHD symptoms?

#ADHD #Ritalin #Adderall #Vyvanse

Still have “track” marks from nurse/tech taking my obs this morning.

They tried twice, it failed both but almost took my arm off the second time.

Maybe this is why ALDI discontinued them.

With new med change GP want me to take own obs every 3 days.

So yeah, I’m this old now.
