Yes I had to stop taking it, I was practically suicidal on it. Vyvanse has been so much better

I took it for a week, never again.
The come down and headaches were awful, and I was uneasy at the thought that I was messing with my brain chemistry or would develop a dependency.

I instead changed my diet slightly and workout/run minimum 3-4 days a week. Helped a lot

Can you share more about your experience? I typically don’t take Adderall on the weekends but sometimes drink.

Yes after the comedown 100%. I take guanfacine to limit that

Can you tell me more about your symptoms/how guanfacine combats that?

No. Definitely do without it. But I also started taking trazadone with it (had tried both separately but not in combo until recently) and it’s a game changer. Trazadone helps me fall asleep (tough af once the addersll wears off otherwise) and that has a big impact on my anxiety and depression. It’s also a mild anti-depressant so that probably helps too

I used to love CBD-THC (50-50) oil. But moved to a non friendly state. The Delta things make my system freak out.

I switched to Dyanavel when the Adderall shortage hit and I couldn’t find it anywhere. Side effects are so much milder than with Adderall and I don’t feel the let down as hard when it wears off. Difference between walking into a pool and diving into it.

On the comedown

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
