if you don’t mind my asking, which meds? i had a friend on a stimulant who described a similar experience to yours, so she switched to a non-stimulant (stratterra) and vastly preferred the effects.
deffo not trying to tell you how to live your life btw! i’ve just run into a lot of folks who for some reason or another have only ever tried like, one or two meds and just figured that’s as good as it gets. our brains can be so whacky different, sometimes it feels like a wonder that any one drug has similar effects on anybody, especially when adhd is in the mix lol
have you tried adderall? right now i’m on 15mg extended release.
tbh i took vyvanse recreationally as a teenager and i had an experience much closer to the one depicted in this meme, whereas right now on adderall i’m having something closer to what you described. i’ve been meaning to talk to my doctor about it but i keep putting it off lmao
Adderall works better for a while, then its effectiveness tapers over time. I think I wanna switch back to Adderall though, since I don’t take my medication very often anymore anyways
they generally like to prescribe a single dose of extended release per day, but if you think it might be a better option DO talk to your doctor about getting a split dosage of regular ass adderall twice daily. it’s kinda uncommon but i’ve heard a lot of good things!
that might honestly be the solution to my issues as well, i’m torn between that and vyvanse. going in on the 21st tho so i’m gonna be trying one of em! lmao

Vyvanse. Strattera makes me feel sick (like, as if I have a cold) and extremely pissed off 24/7. Does absolutely nothing for the ADHD.
