Following. Just started taking adderall

Started with adderall XR, switched to IR, switched to Ritalin, and then Focalin. Tried varying dosages for each. Recently have been trying Adderall again and I think I like it better now 😐

like

Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse. Tried all 3 recreationally many times. Always preferred the dopamine rush of amphetamines (Adderall and Vyvanse).

Eventually went to get a diagnosis one day and settled on a Vyvanse prescription.

Speed is an absolute marvel of a drug. Hopefully it’s not too unhealthy.

Ritalin as a kid, Adderall (xr & ir) , Vyvanse, straterra, intuniv as an adult. I've settled on a mix of Adderall xr and intuniv.

I’ve tried several over the years. I think partially because of newer drugs that have been released and are cleaner than older medications. The one I liked the most isn’t covered by my insurance anymore, Focalin XR. Currently take Vyvanse.

My insurance wouldn’t cover anything but adderall 🤷‍♂️

Trouble waking up? Set an alarm, take your meds, go back to sleep, and wake up feeling ready for the day!

I read this tip in another ADHD forum yesterday. Someone recommending setting a “first” alarm and taking medicine and then sleeping in a bit and when your second alarm goes off you’ll feel more awake. I tried it this morning and it was great! 7:15 alarm went off and I rolled over and grabbed my meds and water. Went back to sleep and at 8 when I needed to get up I felt so much more awake!!!

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️
