I have tried a lot of things (zoloft, wellbutrin, exercise daily, meditation, therapy, etc) but nothing seems to help my main issues of impulse control and emotional dysregulation. I have an adderall script to take "as needed" and everytime I take it I feel like a new person in a good way. Does anyone have experience with daily adderall usage?
Daily Adderall?: I have tried a lot of... - CHADD's Adult ADH...
Daily Adderall?
I take mydayis daily which works in a very similar way to adderall. I was diagnosed at 40.. have always been very successful etc and developed very hood coping techniques over the years. I tried Wellbutrin and gabapentine as well as Prozac when I was younger, I never felt like the term depressed fit . Workouts do help but the stimulant med is key for me. I’m just a better me on my medication. I feel like there is a misconception that adhd medication is bad. You wouldn’t tell some one with depression to only take their medication when it’s really dark or someone with a heart condition that they need to jump through a million hoops and only take it if they feel like a heart attack is coming.
The key for me was dealing with adhd in my young sons. They are just like me and I can see daily the positive impact the medications make. They verbalize how much better they feel and how much their self confidence has risen (one is on a stimulant and one isn’t). From the outside looking in my son is so much more enjoyable, happy and with-it on his meds, his brain just seems to fire right.
Hope this helps.
I am on 70mg vyvanse and 20mg adderall. Helps me stay focused
Hi Olivias1,
My big “off areas” are exactly as yours: impulsivity and emotional dysregulation. I take Aderrall 20 and generic Wellbutrin 150 for depression (daily). I was first taking Wellbutrin for four months and I only noticed that I was not going into a somber mood like before. But I was still impulsive. Once Aderrall became a part of my prescriptions, I noticed a HUGE difference in emotion regulation and impulsivity. It’s like my mind slows down for me to Antalya situation prior to acting on it. It’s been life saving for the people around me. Especially my husband. 😂
