Adderall 5 mg in morning w/coffee and coffee in afternoon. Afternoon adderall if I intend a late night of working. I do this around 4-5 days / week only. Otherwise I build tolerance and get side effects including sleep issues and hyper focus - which isn’t good for my job.

Cotempla XR

I liked Vyvanse a lot but can no longer afford it. I've been taking Dextroamphetamine for a few years now and it works well.

I was on adserall for the past 20 years ans it worked great , since this shortage I did t know what worked ! So the Vycance. You tho k is compatible? Thank-you

I take Vyvanse! It works well for me but is hard to get covered by insurance. My comorbidity with my eating disorder is the only reason I can afford it!

Whenever I have to put slides together, I doubt myself a million times and it takes too long to make a single slide. I know I have Impostor Syndrome and depression, and the longer it takes to put a slide together, the harder it is to get it done. It’s like I have a phobia for doing the work, but it’s my job as a consultant 😔 I think I fear getting it wrong, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they have coped? Thanks, in advance 🙏🏻

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic. I’ve read about people taking Wellbutrin as well. Anyone have experiences with this? I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?
