I have ADHD and take vyvanse

I got myself a prescribed at 26. New doctor made me see the psychiatrist and it took a while, I had to go through a couple non-stimulant prescriptions before they finally did it. If you partied hard in college or do now, lie about it because they don't want to prescribe this stuff to someone who will abuse it.

EY1, a really typical and good way to tell if you have ADD is if you have good days of "hyperconcentration". Days where you get everything done, clean your room, listen and remember things that are said to you. ADD isn't a lack of concentration, it's imbalanced concentration.

I was diagnosed at 16, but took non stimulant meds til 1st yr college. I can't function at work without my Adderall now. I have known several co-worker friends who are prescribed as well. Nothing to be nervous about, just give them enough history and point out where it's affected your day-to-day. For example, are you easily distracted/lose track of time easily/always late? Do you have impulsive tendencies in your behavior? Are you easily agitated/angered? I def struggle with impulsivity & inattention, never have had the hyperactivity aspect though.

I have a hand stim, too, when I get a jolt of energy or excitement. That's hard to keep under control around people

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?

After my HSG and SHG I now have to do an MRI of my pelvis because the RE wants a better picture of one of the fibroids.

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

For those with company equity or unit incentive programs, is it common to forfeit vested equity upon voluntary departure? Explained as a “retention tool” but essentially held captive by a payout since the contract says equity doesn’t fully vest at 100% until the company is resold. If I quit at any time before a sale date, I lose all of the equity that has already vested. This was offered to a few employees in leadership but feels like not that great of a deal to me. Is this normal?
