Another medication bites the dust.

Well Strattera lasted longer than I thought.

I felt more calm and was way more connected with my emotions but it definitely made my day foggy and low energy. I ended up drinking coffee and energy drinks to stay level and it quite honestly wasn’t enough.

So I decided to get back on Vyvanse.

I talked to my dr and he said if I continue to go to therapy and decompress my emotions I shouldn’t have the problems I was originally having while on them the first time.

I feel like stimulant meds end up magnifying my emotions and if I’m not going to therapy and really applying the tools I get from there it ends up bad.... really bad.

So here I am, feeling myself again and not drinking... well drinking less caffeine than previously. 😂

Anyway guys just remember not to lose sight of yourself. It can become difficult at times and honestly it’s difficult more often than not for me. But I know that I deserve a good life. Not an average one but a darn good one! So I’m gonna make it that.

Happy Friday and as always shoot a reply below and I will do my best to respond.

P.S.

I honestly love reading everything you guys post. The good, the bad, and all those wtf ADHD moments we have.

I've had some of those issues, I really liked ADD care, found at a supplement store, approximately 50$ a bottle. Eek, too expensive cause it lasted 10 days. Then I read gaba 500mg and l theanine 500mg does the same thing. I had to split 200 mg l theanine. It worked pretty good. I am on Adderall 60 mg every 4 hrs and doesn't do anything anymore. Frustrating. I'm a walking goof ball if it doesn't work. I'm 42 yr old female that took me 14 yrs of bullshit from my past doctor, not listening, behind on life. Look into tyrosine and 5 htp. Don't take with medicine. I keep forgetting what works.
