When it comes to medication, there’s three main ones: Ritalin, Vyvanse, and Adderral. There’s a few things you can try when you experiment; drug, dosage, and release (fast vs extended). The key thing that’s going to matter between all of them is tweaking dosage. Some people might need 50mg or extended release adderral while you might need 100mg - experimentation is the key.
You definitely want to keep a mini journal of medication, dosing, positives and side effects
Do you want to try medication? Just curious because your phrasing ‘was asked to go on medication’ sounds like you have hesitations.
Personally, I started meds at 30, a few years after diagnosis. It’s worked well for me. Took a few weeks to figure out which family of stimulants and dosage. For me, Adderall and Vyvanse have worse side effects (jitters, sweatiness, horrible headaches when the meds wear off) than Ritalin. Have none of those on Ritalin.
Got it! Thanks I just requested scheduling there. The person is listed as a doctor, hopefully he can prescribe.
He can’t prescribe stimulants but he can prescription other non-stimulant options
Oh no problem. Drop a burner means leave a spoofed / fake email (burner) that’s untraceable to mask your identity
I’ve just heard these side effect stories so worried a bit
Also different kinds of food will affect absorption. For example, citric acid will decrease Ritalin absorption. So if you take a morning dose with OJ, you might not get the full effect you expect.
Wow you can get that from teladoc? I’m pretty sure I have it but I have been in travel cases and don’t have time to go to a doctor. How did you go about scheduling? Is it included in your plan? Good quality of service?
BCG2: yeah , just open teladoc and it’s a straightforward process. I feel it’s great for mental issues where we only talk.
The only problem is, only doctors can prescribe over teladoc and it’s hard to get their teladoc appointment. I met a therapist who was not qualified to prescribe meds, but she works with adhd patients. Now I have to find someone else to prescribe which is a pain.
BCG2: was the person able to prescribe? Just had another teladoc with a doctor who also says these drugs can’t be prescribed over teladoc and now I have to go in person on Saturday.
I was wondering about that... stimulants are highly regulated and differs by state. The irony that for people who need meds to focus, the process of getting the meds is an endless set of hoops.
Get good (build relationship) with a sales-focused psychiatrist and BCG doesn’t need referrals for specialists. They may not be best for you long-term but they get you drugs in 15-30 mins.
I’m in central NJ and my doc can get it to me fairly quick (<15 mins). I can hook up names, just let me know and I’ll drop my burner
Thanks C1.Meeting this doc on Saturday and then I don’t have to meet her for another 3-4 months.
Meanwhile, what is “drop a burner”, see that a lot in fb, what does it mean and how do you do the said thing
LoL OP
