So I’m in titration and I’m currently on Vyvanse 50mg. I’ve already tried methylphenidate up to around 60mg I think, but they just made me jittery. The Vyvanse doesn’t seem to be a whole lot better. I guess I feel ever so slightly better but it’s somewhat of an out-of-body experience and I feel the crash before the end of the work day. What I really wanted help with was my memory and context switching, and to be able to speak more clearly. I think that might have fixed all the other disorganisation issues, etc.
I’m considering asking to try the non-stimulant ones but I can’t really find anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness. Anyone tried them?
Not ADHD but very much diagnosed and under the care of a doctor. You just have to keep trying stuff to see what works. There’s science behind it, but it’s broad. Getting specific (what works for you) takes a lot of trial and error. Don’t lose hope.
Thanks. The problem for me is that I’ve gone private so I’m paying approx £90 for each new medication. I can afford it but I’d rather not have to. As soon as I’m sorted the NHS will pick up the prescription costs.
