Anybody doing 70hr+ weeks consecutively? If so, what is the ideal meds (concerta/IR) regime you have? I’m asking because I’m titrating and I’m not sure if I should stick to one dosage the whole week or just increase every 1-2 days by a small dosage to keep productive and motivated. I feel like 3/4 days in I’m slow and unproductive

I feel you on this one. Was recently titrating as well. I’m on Vyvanse. While I was titrating, I switched a few times between 20mg and 30mg. 20mg was smooth but I was exhausted around 3pm and 30mg got me through the full day but I had trouble sleeping at night. I decided to stick with 30mg, and got used to it in about a week. It was too difficult to get through the workday on 20mg

Interesting. I might try that, stick to higher dose but get used to it. Did you use melatonin at all? Did it ruin efficacy of meds?

Also, constantly changing the dosage too quickly seemed to be a bit of a shock to my system that it wasn’t able to process. Take my experience with a grain of salt though since I’m on a different kind!

Define too quickly please?

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal.
