Life keeps giving

[Colls47]

Life keeps giving to me . 47, diagnosed few months back , lost mum in June dad 4 years ago etc , won’t go over it all again as already posted .I was tried on elvanse 30mg then

50mg, to high too quick and a quick crash and low . Put me on Amfexa , 5mg twice a day, now 7.5mg twice a day . Seems ok for a few hours then gone .

And today , I get a call from gastro department , to tell me my crohnes disease that has been in remission for 6 years has come back and has flared 15 cm iffy my bowel and they want to see me to start me on immuno suppressant again.

I’m in no pain , and this stated before the adhd meds . Question is , anyone else have I b d and take adhd meds ? I’m already on two rubbish anti depressants ( small dose ) and now adhd meds , and now possibly meds die crohnes flare . My head is smashed . I feel like my body is caving .

I’m sure , the stress and death of my mom has impacted my crohnes disease , as my anxiety is very high and depression real bad , and stressed , all don’t go well for crohnes . If only I could get the right adhd med to calm me , it may help .

Hi Colls, well I can't advise about your med question but just wanted to respond about the death of your mom. I'm so sorry, I know how difficult it is. You are grieving and your grief is surely affecting your health. Try to take care of yourself best you can with the basic stuff: don't neglect regular meals, exercise, etc. I hope there is someone supportive who you can talk to. Sending you hugs.

Hey , thanks .

Just feel everything has come to a grinding hauly, has been going that way for a while . Had high hopes for adhd diagnosis and adhd medication to pull my mind out of

Constant body scanning and worrying and feeling like I’m always at deaths door . Possibly Watching both parents die has not helped . My prescriber has tried me on elvanse at 30 and 50mg and then changed to dexamphetamin at 5 x twice a day , 10mg twice a day and now 7.5mg twice a day . But even on my feedback that this gives me a small help in a.m and nothing in afternoon , still wants me to carry on . Think my depression is my main issue right now , and needing a purpose . Unsure if adhd meds will help with this
