Also be mindful that reading poo poo on the internet isn't actually very restful. If you spend your break futzing around on social media you've barely taken a break at all, go outside and get some air or get a snack and chat with your roommate(if you have one).

I didn't realize magnesium had anything to do with tolerance. I take a supplement to reduce the teeth grinding I do in my sleep(a problem I had before I was even diagnose with ADHD).

Missing a dose and not noticing a significant change is a pretty big indication that it's not doing much for you, so I'd look into a dose increase or a different medication.

If you suffer from teeth grinding/jaw clenching definitely try and deal with those ASAP. TMD(more commonly known as TMJ) isn't fun to deal with.

Adderall makes it harder for me to eat but I feel so incredibly lovely if I don't eat enough. It's an annoying dynamic.

If I don't eat enough on adderall I very quickly turn into a monster so I usually eat breakfast first, or at least a banana like the above poster if I'm feeling lazy.

Fusion Restaurant posted:It's like $10 for me with insurance each month. Way more without. Generic and name brand are supposed to be basically the same more or less (name brand might be less of a high?) so no worries there. There's a little bit of wiggle room when it comes to bioequivalence in FDA standards for generics so there can be a slight difference between generics and name brand. There was also that one Ritalin generic that got pulled from the marke recentlyt because the delivery mechanism substantially altered the effectiveness of the drug.

Even going by FDA standards there's like 20% of wiggle room for bioequivalence. So even in ideal circumstances there could be a perceptible difference. Can't say I'm looking forward to what's about to happen to the FDA and healthcare. Hopefully I'll at least graduate and find a job in time for Obamacare to be repealed

Gaspy Conana posted:My doc put me on Ritalin. I've been slowly increasing my dosage 10 extra mg per week. I'm now just starting 30mg. Haven't noticed MUCH of a difference until I skipped a dose one day this week. I'm taking a German class and was just completely unable to follow what was being taught. I know everyone's different, but what dosage have you guys found effective? Have you tried tea? I find the caffeine in that gives me a bit of a boost without being awful feeling.

I was already underweight before starting Adderall so the appetite suppressant effect kinda sucks. I hover around 130-140 usually but at my doctors visit this month I clocked in at 126 I'm working on upping my pre-prepared food game so I can't use laziness as an excuse to not eat. I generally eat healthy at least, just not enough.

Do you think you might have anxiety? It's common for ADHD people and ADHD meds don't always help with it.

I started zoloft for my anxiety last year and so far it's been a good decision. I'm far less irritable and certain annoying noises don't make me feel like my skin is crawling any more

signalnoise posted:Just wanted to share that since it's a new year, I got a PAPER daily planner. Writing things down has helped me a lot to be more productive, even if it isn't referred to later. Just the act of reading and writing in my planner and notebooks helps me remember things. If anyone would like to discuss this topic feel free, I'll join in and tell you the poo poo I've bought etc.. I'd be interested in knowing what you use. I'm not completely sold on the one I have right now.

Yeah I just got a fountain pen and have found myself looking for excuses to write stuff with it. That Jet planner looks pretty wonderful, a lot better for my needs than the one I've been using this year which is a bit too rigid for my taste. Those notebooks look nice as well. Right now I'm using the Vela Science hardcover lab books for my notes since they're a bit larger than standard letter size and just generally high quality. At like $20 a pop though I'll probably want something a bit less pricey for my less math-y courses. I've also started 20-30 minute taking power naps lately and they've been really helpful. The trick is that it doesn't matter if you actually fall asleep, it'll still be restful if you don't. It's a nice reset when I get home from class or work.

There's apparently a bill in the Georgia Senate that would require ADHD patients to get a new prescription for their meds every 5 days http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/08/health/adhd-opioid-prescription-bill-georgia/index.html Apparently will most likely be fixed, but watch your state legislatures for similarly lovely bills.

They apparently changed the language so it doesn't include ADHD meds, but that it was even there in the first place bothers me.

i am tim! posted:It's pretty clear that whomever put this together was only thinking about the opioid abuse and hadn't given any regard for non-opioid Schedule restricted drugs. I'm glad that they are changing the wording to address that, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had opted to say "Well that should be restricted too because DRUGS!" instead. The Senator who proposed the bill is also stalling a rape kit testing bill and a bill expanding the conditions our medical marijuana law covers, so that should give you an idea of the person behind it, if "Georgia State Senator" didn't paint that picture for you already.

My friend developed epilepsy for no apparent reason in his early twenties. They put him on some medication and he hasn't had a seizure for a few years now. No idea how epilepsy is diagnosed, so they may have already ruled that out for you.

Adderall does have withdrawal effects, but they're pretty minor compared to SSRI withdrawal. I imagine if you take every weekend off your meds you may not notice withdrawal effects.

Parasol Prophet posted:Hi thread! I have ADHD-Distracted type (is that the right way to put it? I have no idea), am between medication refills right now because I changed insurance and the process to finding a new doctor is so involved that I keep forgetting to start/continue it. (Of course.) I have a question. What’s helped me is doing as much as possible the night before. This includes showering, making oatmeal and putting it in a thermos, and making sure everything I need is accounted for before going to bed. Now I can wake up, eat my oatmeal, put on my clothes, pack lunch, grab my bag, and be on my way. I still try and wake up when I normally would because I do still get distracted, but its less of a big deal because there’s not as much I need to be do before leaving.

Since I didn’t get an internship this summer I started working on a project and have been incredibly hyper-focused on it and it feels like such poo poo. I’ve been able to pull myself out of it this week and have just been trying to catch up on everything I neglected in the process.

Something that works for me sometimes is to find the smallest possible step I can take towards doing ~thing~ and that’s either enough to get me started or if it’s not that’s one less step to take in the future. It could be as small as just getting out cleaning supplies or moving a box, so long as it’s a concrete action I can take.

TheJadedOne posted:drinking acidic juices like orange or grapefruit can affect the absorption of adderall. Just had that talk with my psych yesterday. grapefruit in general is one you should always check on with medications of any sort. it has a lot of weird interactions. thankfully for adderall you're pretty much fine as long as it's not within an hour of taking it. the same goes for tums, btw, though the effect is different.
