I accidentally doubled up on my ADHD medicine and I feel like I’m going to pass out. That’s how I know I actually have ADHD. Too much stimulant medication makes me feel super sleepy. Meanwhile a mate of mine got one from his partner and took it at a festival and was absolutely shitfaced the whole day. Brains are weird.
I’ve been meaning to look into it too. I did an executive functioning assessment with an OT and got “moderately/markedly atypical” in most of the areas. No wonder coffee doesn’t do much for me (even though it tastes nice)
Not OP, but chiming in re: the slow release…I’m on 70mg Vyvanse which seems to keep me going throughout the day. I asked the doc about Dexys and he said I shouldn’t need them for a top up
First of all, good to hear from ya! Second, North won a game, yay. Third, if someone, hypothetically offered Vyvanse to me would that have the same effect as dex? Like as in the motivation mode? 😉

hmmm, speed and md used to put me to sleep.
Couldn’t hurt to get checked out. It changed my life completely.

It sounds like it could hurt a few grand. It’s on my list to check, but my hernia is taking priority at the moment.
Cost me $250. Plus the GP appointment for the referral. But it might have gotten more expensive since 2021
Dexys?
Yup. I take 2 every 4-5 hours. Tried the long release one, but it didn’t work for me. It seemed to all release in the one go.
There’s 2 kinds?

For a normal person, you’d be pretty amped up. For ADHD you’d be really chilled out.
Interesting.
Yeah there’s one where you only have to take 1 tablet a day called Vyvanse. It’s a pain in the ass to organise your life in 5 hour blocks.
I’ve always got a small tin of tablets on me at work so I can duck out to the bathroom and take 2 even if I’m in a meeting.
