I know, right? To whomever is also working on the XKCD image showing the giant stack professional services and verticals that ADHD brains gravitate to supported by the pharmecy refill reminder and refill pipeline: you can stop. We're already down, no need to kick us.
Is this a real xkcd? I haven't seen it
Like as careers? I know that heaps of comedians have ADHD, but not much else
Vyvanse (for ADHD and BED) plus Wegovy (for weight loss).
I no longer eat and I have laser focus.
Vyvanse makes my heart super poundy and made me feel super duper uncomfortable.
I ended up on Paroxetine. Now my husband is finding Vuvande is causing him to have 24/7 headaches.

I tried it. All it did was up my heart rate. Doc prescribed it as an appetite suppressant. It did fuck all for me in that regard.
Same. I have tried the 4 main ADHD meds; all of them just make my heart rate spike and that's about it.
And since I'm limited to Medicaid in the US, doctors have basically told me "well that's all we can do. Other options are available but your insurance won't cover those"
Yay American "healthcare"!
What worked for me was to make sure to eat while taking it (within a 20 min window - could do 40 but that was pushing it), and go for a short run a 40-60 min after taking it.
Having my heart rate already up when it kicked in made the heartrate spike barely noticeable, and it felt like I burned through the side effects just by suffering through a run for 15-20 min. I guess biking or any cardio training could have the same effect, but running was easiest for me to fit into my schedule.
Does anyone else get a kind of euphoria with Vyvanse? Not true euphoria, just elevated mood I guess?
it's recognized as a side effect of most stimulants
it is also easier to be in a good mood when you're not thinking "WHY CAN'T I JUST DO THE THINGS I WANT TO!?" every waking moment
Elvanse gang rise up!
Me too 😭
damn, did it worked for you? onwas at 40mg and didn't notice any difference, how much y'all take?
30mg. I sometimes have worse anxiety when it occurs, but my memory now works and I can engage in tasks for 12 hours in a row.

I take 30mg in the mornings, it works pretty well for me. I took 70mg once and had an absolutely miserable time, it was way too much

I'm on 70mg of Elvanse (same stuff) and I've finally started to feel it but its subtle. The appetite suppression kicked in down at 30mg but the focus and mental shift (feeling good and not resentful at completing tasks and things which seemed impossible to tackle don't look as daunting which helps with procrastination) really didnt happen until I hit 70mg.
I'll try. just once, given that it gives me high blood pressure. my max dose was 40mg, and I got frustrates and began thinking they gave me placebos or some building.
In my experience it requires a bit of mental effort to go along with it rather than waiting for it to have an obvious effect. Like with painkillers or antidepressants you can feel it affecting you without needing anything on your part. Elvanse for me has been more like, I still need to make a huge effort for things like getting out of bed or to not procrastinate but that "barrier" is lower and once you start you can just stick to the task a lot easier. So its more like an assistance or booster that doesn't do much by itself rather than an obvious "cure" of symptoms and behaviour.
Works great for me, though it took a while to find the right dose.
Babe wake up, new corporate productivity microdose drug just dropped
me w Phentermine (im prediabetic)
I was looking for an alternative to Dexedrine and tried that for a week or two, I was so unproductive I had to move on. Tried a few different ones but nothing else worked for me.
