How to ADHD

Vyvanse worked really well for me, I just had the issue that I built up tolerance to it REAL quick so I'd constantly have to take month-long breaks from it in order to lower that tolerance again... and I'd have to do this every 3-4 months, so it wasn't ideal. I also don't have any real side-effects from Vyvanse or Adderall. But these are obviously just how it affected me, so no guarantee that it'll be the same for you. Though I definitely hope you do find something that works for you!! 🐻 Harley, Community Manager

I’m having problems getting my 30 mg. My doctor has beyond 15 mg twice a day until we can fix the problem as my insurance won’t cover 215 twice a day but they will cover 2 30s. She has recommended Vyvanse. Hard to find also. I plateaued on Ridellan since I started it when I was seven and I’m in my early 50s. Sometimes Strattera works. Sometimes it doesn’t especially with executive function and motivation so I need the stimulant anybody have any checks or recommendations for me and how does Vyvanse work for you guys compared to Ridellan or Adderall side effects if any

@Adam still having issues? My chemist's delivery seemed to be back steady even if the delivery is taking one or two days longer

:( That sucks... I'm so sorry you all have to deal with that.

Still an ongoing Elvanse shortage in the UK, with intermittent methylphenidate shortages as well. And I hear the same about HRT. Brexit is greatly exacerbating pharma supply chain issues :(

Cerys Jones

Same! That suuuucked 😂

Vicki Kolman-Novak

LOL glad to know I'm not the only one who forgets that!

Aw, this would have been brilliant 3 months ago when tthere was an Elvanse shortage in Europe! I ended up on basically the same strategies the long, hard way around 😅

My Rx has been 60 x 20mg IR, and I usually take 1.5 so I have a reserve built up. Not an intentional strategy, I just have the extra 10mg available as a late afternoon/early eve boost if work goes long. Most days I don’t use it, so after almost a year I have probably 2-3 months in the kitty, so to speak.

3 minutes :) I do 5 minute breaks for 25 min pomodoros, 10 min breaks for 50 min pomodoros. I'm not as strict with the breaks as I am with the timer, though. The key for me is to monotask while the timer is going, the breaks are somewhat incidental (for me). Sometimes I skip them cause I'm in flow, or take a longer one cause I forgot to pee :)

Thanks, watched it on my lunch break.

Should be fixed now! I maaaay have forgotten to hit "save" when I changed it to public for the first like few minutes. 🤦‍♀️ It'll look private but if you click it, it works! - Harley, Community Manager

I can see it.

How long are you breaks with 10 minute pomodoros?

Thank you! Like many others, I didn't even know I have ADHD until lockdown and I could control more of my environment. Now that I've realized how much Adderall helps, naturally there's a shortage.
