I took adderrall as prescribed for 7 years. It made me insufferable and always anxious. After getting off, it was a year of panic attacks and depression, where I couldn’t even work. Finally my brain evened out. Now, I meditate, do yoga... don’t drink or drink coffee. And my ADD is wayyy more controlled than with the meds. Plus I’m no longer neurotic.

This. Haven’t been on it (few exceptions) since my university days. But to-do lists, meditation. Working out. Putting phone on silent while working. Creating 50 min blocks of work and ten minutes off. Not turning my phone on before 830 and airplane mode it after ten, all help. It’s great when you need a crutch for a bitS but the lifestyle change is key. The thing is just a performance drug

I've been on Vyvanse for years and I get them every now and then. I scaled back my caffeine intake and tried meditation which seemed to help.

Thanks everyone. Seems like these meds definitely don’t mix well with caffeine. After the latest surprise anxiety attack last night, I’m definitely going to stop these meds and see if things change.

It’s doable. You just have to sleep well, exercise, cut caffeine and alcohol. If you can, practice yoga and meditation.

I hope you get it sorted. Will send you some good energy, OP. ✨✨✨

I tried Vyvanse but realized that yoga and meditation were way better for me, avoiding drinking and caffeine with a balanced diet plus exercise in conjunction with the meditation were also amazing and with no side effects. I’ve heard cognitive therapy is also very beneficial.

I dealt with anxiety towards the end of the day when starting (and restarting) Vyvanse, but it went away after a couple of weeks. I think I’m probably a little more prone to occasional anxiety than I would be without it, but it’s not often as long as I don’t overdo it with caffeine.

My first agency gig I accepted riding and continued a Vyvanse binge.

There are non stimulant adhd meds???

D1 is right. I was thinking of Strattera.

Tinker with your dosage - you might be higher than you need. People with ADHD are responsive to far smaller doses than people without....

Agreed! I was prescribed double the mg amount I actually needed. Cutting it in half was a game changer

Hello,

I moved to USA in 2017 on F1 visa. I was not selected for H1-B in the 3 years of my OPT.

The thought of moving to another country in a couple of months is causing a lot of anxiety and tough luck with the lottery is making me feel depressed.

Any suggestions on how to cope with the situation? (Please be considerate in the comment) Thanks in advance!
