So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,
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
8·3 hours ago- there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn’t have too many undesirable effects on you.
- usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won’t really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you’re a properly massive individual, I’m amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could’ve had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn’t seem like you did.
- it’s not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it’s right for you.
