So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,
(Edit: I just realized I posted this on ADHD memes. Can’t stop being a clown)
After an odyssey I’ve been finally diagnosed at 18 of age with “a textbook example of ADHD” (-my psychiatrist) and high QI. Lmao I wish.
They gave me 30gm of lisdexanfetamin (Elvanse) and I just took a pill a few hours ago after getting up.
The thing is that I’m not feeling a single thing different in any way and I don’t even what should I be expecting. I might be scared of having expend more money and time because of the dosage not being right…
How were your first moments/days/weeks with medication? (I you don’t mind sharing).
I don’t want to fail uni. :c
Bear in mind it’s sometimes difficult to know how we feel. 30mg is a good starter dose but most people take more than that. I settled on 40mg but 50 is also okay. I decided to take the lowest dose that would alleviate the symptoms and avoid most of the side effects. There are many different drugs - methylphenidate, amphetamine, methamphetamine, dexamphetamine, dextroamphetamine, etc. Give yourself time to get used to lisdexamfetamine but try something else if it’s not effective.
