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
My wife reacts really well to medication - however, it took some time until she found the proper dosage. If she takes 20mg, it’s too little, and she just feels droopy. If she takes 30mg, it’s too much and she feels anxious. So one 25mg pill in the morning and another pill after lunch works really well for her (Ritalin). There are other variables, like when she is really tired or she’s on her period, too. What I want to say is that maybe 30mg is not right for you, try it out for a few days and discuss with your doctor, so if it didn’t work, adjust the dosage or change to something else.
Yeah, I think the despair got the best of me this morning after seeing that nothing changed, but you’re right, expecting things to just work out at first try is a bit delusional. Things might be not finished yet, but it’s a step in the right direction. I’ll see how things develop in the following weeks and then meet again with my psychiatrist.
Thanks for your response!
