60mg Vyvanse it has changed my life. Also be careful mentioning that these medications are addictive; in my understanding, addictive traits for ADHD are significantly reduced when on stimulants. This is because the medication directly treats the dopamine receptors and can minimize cravings. For example, since starting ADHD medication 5 years ago I have quit smoking cigarettes, rarely drink alcohol, and cut back my caffeine intake from several cups a day to one. Just food for thought since stimulants are highly stigmatized and can scare off many ADHD folks that would actually see massive benefits.
Thank you for saying this! This is so so so true. I growing up had such a problem with severe addictions and now finally getting diagnosed at the age of 30 I have no issues with addictive behavior and feel so great that my team of doctors are so supportive of my journey when they easily could of been closed off to even attempting to treat me given my past. I'm so greatful for the treatment I'm now getting.
That is very true!
I had the opposite on adderall and dex, I smoked and drank wayyyyyy more
Same here. I never had a dependency on any substances but I definitely had a bad relationship with food. Eating food generally creates a dopamine response and I've talked to others with ADHD about how we just overdo it without realizing because eating just feels so good. Since starting medication my appetite did decrease, and that is a mentioned side effect, but now I eat about as much as is recommended for girls my height (1400-1600 calories? I'm not sure, I just know I am able to listen to my body much better) and I tend not to crave high density processed food as much.
HI! Can you please share how your life has changed? I was recently started on Adderall 10mg XR but so far Im just a little more energetic. My focus is still pretty much all over the place
Thank you!
I was diagnosed with ADHD 18 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 14 years old but my mom lied to me about it most of my life because she “doesn’t believe in mental health issues”. Now, 10 years later at age 24, I just found out that I’ve had ADHD this whole time and never knew. I’ve always wondered what’s “wrong” with me. Now I know. I fought hard to find these medical records. I finally have my first appointment to talk about getting on meds next week! I finally feel like I can begin living my life. I’m excited to find the right med for me.

@@sandykafu1446 STOP.
Hope it's working out for you dude! Mental illness is just as real and physical illness. The human brain is just as complicated if not more than the body
Sounds a bit like my mum. I was diagnosed at 17, by my dr and then a psychiatrist. She didn’t believe i had it so she told me i had depression my whole life. Until now I’m 31 and i have an assessment booked for ADHD in a few weeks only to find that they found in my notes i have already been diagnosed. So now I’m going to get the help and medication iv always needed. It’s funny because even tho she always told me I’m depressed… i never thought i was.
Same, I was like 6 years old when they tried to diagnose me and my parents fought it and now I’m 27 wondering what the fuck is wrong with me. Finally got a diagnosis myself and honestly it feels good to have an answer and to know that I may not have to be like this the rest of my life
I knew the majority of the comments would be long paragraphs because we all like to rant! 🤣
My god I didn't think about that 😂😂😂. Now I actually notice it!
LMAO 😂😂😂😂
I was diagnosed with
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late teens/early 20s. I was originally prescribed ritilan, and then concerta. I crashed so horribly with a headache a nausea. It was so intolerable that I found a new doctor. I was prescribed adderall and my life has been so much better. Never give up advocating for yourself. I can't believe I tolerated ritilan and the horrible headaches for almost 6 months
New dr as in your primary care provider or psychiatrist/psychologist?
I've been using strattera 80mg for the past 4 years. It's definitely harder to see the differences initially compared to the other medications that start working immediately but I've completely stopped having anxiety attacks and over time I've gotten to a place where it's almost never an issue to just sit down and focus on what needs to be done
I love it and it is what I have taken most of my life but it is so expensive and I’m trying to find a good alternative
I want to thank Lsddrugsonlinestore.com that I just received my package just now at first I was so skeptical about the process on you guys website but thank you guys for been legit
Next month I will be doing another purchase
Hello Sospsig, When you say overtime you have been able to concentrate, can you be specific in terms of days or months? I have beenon Strattera for about 3 months and gradually going up in mg and I am now at 65mg and I see zero effect on the concentration. (I do see some side effects). I am starting to get frustrated. Thanks for the help.
HI, BEST link to order your meds is purepharmamed.com
@@luisguevara4113 hi did u see any changes in ur concentration....if yes ..how much time it did takes after the start of strattera(atomoxetine?
The video of the distressed women representing an addict as you refer to addiction risk Is pretty misleading and stigmatising. Untreated ADHD is strongly associated w dangerous addictions alcohol etc and incr early death risk. That needs to be balanced. Addiction also far more likely with people misusing rather than using therapeutically.
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.
Yes 100%
@@MsChantal89 agree totally! I feel I've been really lucky. I take methylphenidate (Medikinet) slow release twice daily and quick release when required and have had very little negative side effects, apart from some anxiety if I take them too close together. They effect every person differently. Actually, one side effect I do have though is a massive libido boost from the quick release, and was expecting many others to report the same but actually not so much, given a commonly listed side effect. So everyone is effected differently
@@MsChantal89 completely revolutionised my life though, being diagnosed later in life
No, that part of the video saved my life i know that i am not the only one, i have ADHD and I have a huge problem with the pills.
Addiction and dependence are completely different from each other! People who choose to remain Uneducated about those differences are only worsening the misinformation & stigma. You should do an updated version of this.
What is the difference?
@NayeliR699 dependency is like with coffee/caffeine where two months in a person doesn't "feel" the effects or benefits as heavy or easily as the very 1st few months produced. Or just like exercise , our bodies adapt... our brain adapts, becoming almost tolerant of the effects yet
Addiction is Dependency turned to 19,000 causing a unrelenting urge to do more, more, more, and get more NO MATTER what it takes! With Abu $ e of the substance being habitual to the point of acting out illegally to obtain a "feeling" and stave withdrawal.
Same spectrum, 2 very opposite ends.
Be careful of straterra, my 8 year old suffered for two months of not being able to urinate, we took her to urologist and everyone thought we were crazy. The best way to explain what was happening was she couldn’t relax her muscles to be able to release the urine. It was more of a mental problem. We looked at side effects of all her meds and strattera was difficulty urinating, we stopped the medicine that day and by the next day she was able to pee again.
Every medication has side effects tho. So sorry your boy had to go through that though. That's must've been ultra frustrating
I had a similar experience. I guess some people are more sensitive to the norepinephrine reuptake than others.
that is stupid, why is straterra even an option then
Same thing with me
its amazing in this day and age , we have to do the simple fixes our self's, his answer should have been stop the meds and see if it helps . but sounds like there was some common sense
error. the clear and fairly logical reasoning if it started with a new med, stopping it would be a very clear way to see if it was the meds or not. nice work !
I was diagnosed with ADD (before it was generalized with ADHD) when I was in 3rd grade. My ADHD experience has been wild, especially since I didn’t know I had ADHD until my parents got me diagnosed. I started taking meds immediately, and I went from almost being held back and always getting in trouble because I would do impulsive things to getting decent grade (not even stellar, I grew to the advanced classes but I was like a solid B-C student so it’s not like it made me a genius)
I have been on concerta, stratera, vyvanse, and adderall at various stages.
First I will say: I have experienced depression and anxiety for almost my entire life. I believe part of it was due to having a narcissist as a father (who was also in the military) and I wasn’t able to keep up with his expectations due to my ADHD, which increases my rejection sensitivity dysphoria.
He did pass away when I was in 8th grade, but the depression persisted and I kept a experimenting with medication (with a doctor of course) and eventually found that vyvanse has worked best for me
Now the issue with vyvanse is that as soon as I turned 21, I was no longer a full time student and lost my military medical insurance and my Rx went from $40/month to $400/month and I was not able to stay on it. So I quit cold turkey because I had to and stayed off medications for a couple years. (Vyvanse is still in the patent phase and will not be available for generic until I think April of 2023)
I went through a ROUGH time being an unmedicated young adult with ADHD. I was extremely impulsive which helped me do things I am so thankful for but I also made a LOT of bad decisions. Around 23-24 I decided to get back on medication since I had insurance again and it’s been a trial and error experience since I don’t remember how some of the meds affected me when I was a child. Adderall works really well for me, but only if I have multiple things to do. If I’m just working a 40 hour/week job and no hobbies or other activities requiring my attention, I get extremely anxious and I hated it. So I tried concerta which worked really well at first since I am 26 going to real college (not trade school) for the first time. but after a while I was feeling hazy and started to get physical side affects like limb numbness and blurry vision. So we switched back to adderall, and it has been working really well since I have 4 classes and a part time job to split my attention with.
I would like to one day not be on medication, but I may not have that option right now. When I do get older I would like to try to either taper off or just take a small dose as I learn new skills to manage my adhd. Some of these skills have included meditating, eating better (which I am TERRIBLE at due to the lack of appetite), exercising, and taking vitamins. I hate how cliche it sounds but it’s honestly true that those things WILL help.
No ADD and adhd are two totally different things
Bro you good. I have the same experience with Vyvanse and Adderall. You completely right about exercise and vitamins, it helps a TON. I've done both separately and really best effects is doing both. And yep no matter what gotta keep that appetite routine
Oh! Do you do anything for the sleep patterns? I still run into some issues with sleep. Thought I solved it as I have high blood pressure and realized I was deprived of potassium because of the Adderall, the one vitamin that you basically need a prescription to get a decent amount.
Started eating potassium rich foods which helped at first but, back on a bad sleep schedule again
I was diagnosed at a pretty young age and sadly i never really got the treatment I should have. Realizing now how much I self sabotaged my life.
I have just recently been diagnosed with ADHD and am now taking 40 Mg. a generic brand of Concerta in the morning and 10 Mg. Ritalin in the afternoon, and it has helped me a LOT.
Cool. I love that you have a different combo for different times of day
Care to share how you and your doc came to that conclusion?
I’ve been diagnosed recently aged 42 and waiting to start a low twice-daily dose of methylphenidate, possibly Ritalin, as the slow-release ones, Delmasort and Concerta, are having supply issues right now otherwise that might be better. This is very useful to hear a variety of information.
I love listening to this channel. The narrator speaks so fast and it’s so easy to understand (compared to a slow speaker)
Please excuse my mistake guys. Its Vyvanse not Vyanese! :D
it's Vyvanse
Wow, can't believe I got it wrong again hahah. Thanks Justin!
@@adhdvision 😂😂😂😂😂made my day
I was wondering about that!
I have severe inattentive ADHD, and I also have ASD I can't take stimulates because of the anxiety it causes me. I take Clonidine now for my ADD. The quality of my life is so much better.
Thank you for this video. I see a nurse practitioner who specializes in prescribing psychiatric meds, but she is in such high demand, that I can only speak to her for 5-7 minutes about once every 4 months, so she doesn’t have time to explain the different medication options for me to try but she’s willing to prescribe whatever I suggest. So far I’ve tried Vyvanse and Strattera. Not that happy so far with either one.
The first medication I ever took was concerta I was in middle school , I took it for a while but never again , it gave me panic attacks, anger issues , obsessions , to each is own
I haven’t been given a different prescription yet as I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD, but I’ve been taking Wellbutrin XR 300mg for years for what I thought was depression (but turned out to be motivation, attention, and initiation issues from ADHD-inattentive) and it helps a LOT. I know it’s off-label, but I would have loved to see that covered.
That's what my provider prescribe for me to start with, she wanted to start off slowly with a non-stimulant, I understand but for me it didn't do anything. I know I'll need a stimulant.
But I'm glad to hear it really helped you.
I’ve been on Wellbutrin for months, and it’s done very little for me. I was diagnosed with adhd about 3 years ago and then began seeing a psychiatrist. I started off on Adderal xr, that didn’t help much. Then she switched me to Wellbutrin, I started at I think 150. That didn’t work, then I tried 300. And then the max dose of 450. Small change at best. I am “shopping” for a new psychiatrist now. I want to get in Vyvanse. Because it’s long lasting, many other adhd’ers have a great experience with it. And I think what I’m most excited about is that it will hopefully dramatically help with my binge eating, food craving issues. It’s the only drug approved to treat binge eating disorder and it’s one of the best adhd meds. Win, win!
Just tired of trying different meds…went down this road 20 years ago too…harder to take care of myself and also Christmas…jeez just too much and I keep it so simple. Glad so many are doing well…gives me hope
should try again

- The popularity and longevity of Adderall in the ADHD treatment landscape highlight its efficacy for a significant portion of users.
02:47 🚀 *Other Stimulant Medications: Dexedrine and Evekeo*
- Dexedrine and Evekeo are two other prominent stimulant medications, both being amphetamines similar to Adderall.
- Users' feedback on Dexedrine and Evekeo highlights individualized experiences, with some noticing improvements in focus while others mention side effects like slowed growth and changes in eyesight.
- These medications offer alternative options for ADHD treatment, but it's essential to consider individual responses and potential side effects.
03:42 🕰️ *Long-lasting Stimulant: Vyvanse*
- Vyvanse stands out as a longer-lasting stimulant medication, with effects lasting up to 10 to 14 hours.

I am a 40yr old woman, and I had the same experience as the lady in your video. I tried vyvanse (10mg) and HATED it. I felt like I was feeling 19 cups of coffee all at once, was extremely jittery and felt awful for 2-3 hours which made me take a nap. After that I felt better and did work, but I still felt way too wired. Only used it for 3 days. I'm now trying Focalin (5mg) and it's working great. No side effects.
My son started 20 mg of Vyanese this morning and I am really concerned. He has ADD and has been wired all day. He had a moment where he uncharacteristically teared up, and then back to being a ball of energy. It has literally been nonstop talking and questions. We are done with vyanese until I talk to his Dr on Monday
HI, BEST link to order your meds is purepharmamed.com
Adult in my 40s. Vyvanse made me wired the first two days , but I settled afterwards . After 4 months of Vyvanse and birth control , I had a bp spike so I’m trying other things . Intuniv is relaxing but maybe too relaxing , making me sleepy .
@@me3211 Dosage was probably too high. I take half the dosage of Evekeo I started with. The original dose got me WIRED, I felt like a robot, but with sudden waves of sadness for some reason. Nasty side effects at high doses
When I started on a low dose I was VERY jittery and uncomfortable, but oddly when I jumped to a higher dose I was shockingly calm/relaxed and focused. I've heard this from many other vyvanse users too!
I’ve tried almost all these meds, and after the honeymoon period dust has settled, Dexedrine is the one for me, no question. Ive been on 20mg of Dexedrine ER for over a year. I like to say that it’s everything I want a stimulant to be (focus, task switching, time management improvements) with nothing I don’t want (insomnia, impatience, etc). Only major downside is higher blood pressure, which is already an issue for me. I do also take a blood pressure medication to balance that out.
I was excited! Until hearing about the HBP.
@@MR.F30I mean that's all stimulants, potentially.
When I first got diagnosed at 17 I was prescribed concerts and it made me kinda aggressive. I started taking adderall and I didn’t have the aggression. I did not like the instants as I don’t want to have to keep up with taking them multiple times through out the day. Switched to adderall XR and I feel it works much better releasing throughout the day. There’s some physical effects that suck, but they’re manageable. Life has improved majorly in many ways
I stopped taking medication for my ADHD but I might start again. I tried Adderall, Concerta, and Vyvanse. Adderall was the most effective for my ADHD but Vyvanse side effects were a little bit more bearable. I prefer Vyvanse
YES. I was on Strattera for many month and it worked well for focus during the day but literally gave me night terrors and frequent sleep paralysis! Just went to the psychiatrist today and starting dexedrine 🤞🏼 hopefully it’s just as effective without fcking with my sleep.
Hi there, seems like we are the most recent. Can you come back and let me know how the Dexedrine works out please? I’m getting switched but to which med idk yet bc I’m late to the party just finding out about the adderall shortage which is what the script was for, so My Dr. Is going to have to try something else. Alll the pharmacies I called said they were back logged and that pretty much means…ain’t no telling when you’ll that. But it’s no time soon. If you remember to, that would be kool . Thanku😊
@@butterflykisses1222find a small mom & pop pharmacy and find out what day they get their shipments in. Just be mindful that you may have to go a few days in between refills each month due to shipments days. Make friends with the techs… I feel like they things changed once they knew my story (ADHD-AF and already lost a 6 figure job due to it)
I was diagnosed at 4 years old. I started taking Vyvanse for ADHD in February of 2020. It was the first time I had taken any meds for ADHD. I felt like a whole new person and I could focus so much better with it. It did, though, cause me to focus more than my mind could take, causing my mind to work faster than my body, but that wasn’t too much of a problem after I lowered my dosage. I stopped taking Vyvanse because of the mood changing side-effects, for they were BAD bad. I just started taking Adderall less than a week ago, and it does really help me focus a lot better. But.....the come down (rebound) makes me feel depressed, empty on the inside, discharged from reality, and sometimes even mad. I don’t know what to do, y’all. PLEASE HELP.
@@SimplyBusra "listen to our book that people make up to cure a scidntifically explained chemical problem" stfu. Get on a stimulant comedown and see if allah will take those feelings away.
Stick with brand names over generics when it comes to ADHD drugs. I’d also at least consider giving Vyvanse another go at a lower dose to lessen the issues, that’s what I had to do to figure out it was beneficial for me. I also titrated/built up my most recent dosage over the course of 4 months (one dose fill per month) which gave me a good perception of what each amount had to offer. Generally speaking, since Vyvanse is solely a Dextroamphetamine rather than a combo of Amphetamines like Adderall, it has less intense/physical side effects, which I prefer.
The best thing you can do about it, is to stop taking drugs. I felt like you before, even worst, with depersonalization symptoms, but when I left drugs for ADHD(at first was difficult, my body needed detoxify all chemicals), then I started to feel better. You need to change your feed habits, do exercise, to clean your liver, do fastings, etc., to recover your mental and body health.
For me it's hard to say as of last year I finally got diagnosed with ADHD I was taking citalopram before I started taking Vyvanse so I'm not sure what it really was. Basically I started getting crazy panic attacks, small almost stroke things and physical changes too purple lips, fever, dilated pupils, eye droop, pissing forever lol and confusion. My experience with Vyvanse was very interesting but I also consumed a lot of coffee so hahaha. I did not abuse the meds I was on 40mg the last time I took it I felt high not a happy one like a I thought I was going to die for several hours very uncomfortable and not fun. I haven't taken Vyvanse since that day. Currently on day 3 of Dexedrine so I'll see what happens could just be me but man I think the Vyvanse gave me the issues or the combo with Citalopram or I have something else wrong that I don't know lol. Basically if it feels right do it be smart don't consume a lot of caffeine I think that doesn't help with side effects/ anxiety and make sure to sleep and eat and lots of water.
Wellbutrin
Was on concerta for a year and 1/2 and worked all the way up to 54mg a day. It did not do a thing for me. I could take it and literally go right to sleep. Finally my doctor put me on adderall 20mg twice a day and the difference is astounding. It’s helped tremendously, however, it is very addictive and I always give myself a holiday from it for 2-3 days.
It helps me to mentally focus a lot, but I get anxiety/ physical symptoms that I know there’s no way I could ever get addicted to it. BUT on the weekends I don’t take it since I don’t work on the weekends, and it allows me to be more creative. But I’m sure for others it can definitely be addictive
YES! I'm considering talking to my doctor and making a change.
(woman 34 years) I was diagnosed with ADHD 9 years ago. I receive 80 mg Strattera and 18 mg Concerta twice daily.Without medicine I can not manage my everyday life and work.
this just reminded me to take my meds, I use concerta
hows it going with concerta?
I’ve newly got the diagnosis so my dr changed it from 20mg ritalin to 36mg concerta, since I got anxiety and pulse issues at the c point. After two weeks on 36mg I didn’t notice much improvement or change, tho they’re no side effects. But at the same time I can experience much more adhd symptoms the days that I sleep 6 hours or so. Even 7. I felt that it didn’t work entirely or would easily wear off. Tho I used 2hours in the gym with 36 while 5h (talknig and tiktok) without (happened twice), now I’m on 54mg and everyone talks about how I’m much more aware and awaken. Tho my appetite is suppressed and I can experience anxiety more often then the weeks I was on 36 (I think)
Not yet, thinking about it, I watched video about ADHD this October, been researching it and I am very strongly convinced I have it, still need to visiat psychyater tho. hopefully will manage it soon!
Finding a good psychiatrist is the first step. Where I live, she flat told me no she will not prescribe me any stimulants for my ADH school with an attention. She went on to say there’s been studies that show that it doesn’t help with adults anyway.
I was diagnosed at the age of 7 years old and told by the schooling system I had to take the medication or I wouldn't be allowed in class. Ritlin made me feel horrible as a kid and the pain in my stomach it gave was terrible. They then changed me to concerta which made me cry all the time and I couldn't stop crying. I am still on ritlin and have the worst time on it, even though it helps me get my tasks done, the feeling of ritlin still makes me feel horrible throughout the day and when the come down occers its even worst.
Try Adderall a girl in the comments said she had the same experience with Ritalin and Adderal was the best choice she made
Definitely try another medication if Ritalin isn't working for you.
Got diagnosed about 2 months ago, started on 18mg of Concerta and am currently taking 36mg per day. I have found it has helped immensely (like putting on glasses), only issue is I get a bit skin picking obsessed.
İm using 54mg per day and im too picking my skin i didnt know meds causing this
Do you experience anxiety on concerta, I switched from 36 to 54 because I was prone to show more symptoms the days I slept less (1-3) hours without side effects. Now on 54 I’ve got less apetite and some days near my period have more anxiety. Same as I had while trying ritalin without the ups and lows and heartaches.
I was on Focalin IR 2.5mg and 5mgXR. I have been on doses around 20mg XR and an IR do help with later in the day crash. I was also having nausea when I took it in recent years. We decided to move over to Concerta and titrated up to 27mg- both the crash and nausea are nonexistent now... but I still get the therapeutic benefits. Before Focalin (like 20 years ago) I was on Strattera it helped at first, but my mood became an absolute mess after about a year... so my parents discontinued it. Concerta uses a quite complex mechanism for the XR... and I have to say it works well for where I am these days.
ive been using up to 110mg focalin IR daily. the crashes at first were unbearable but after a while it seemed to grow on me.
I’m prescribed adderall but it makes me feel like a robot at times. I feel less creative on it. That’s a problem I am trying to balance out, but it’s tricky.

I know that feeling exactly! I feel empty, emotionally. Now as for the creative part, I like Adderall because it helps me bring out my creativity, but again with the mood changes! I’ll pray for you, for us.

Hey I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and was wondering if you could make a video on dating with adhd. I feel like it’s makes it tricky because we get bored of people like we do hobbies
Will definitely keep it in mind!

QUESTION: Would the herbal plant, Ephedra, work as a natural source for Epinephrine to help with ADHD? I've been diagnosed at 50 yo with ADHD, but I believe it was caused by Traumatic Brain Injury two years ago when I wrecked my tractor trailer. I've had mild Autism my whole life then the ADHD came out of left field.
Really wanted to see non-stimulents listed in this video other than stratera
Yeah “all” should mean all and he just literally skips Wellbutrin, buspar, and a number of other things
I appreciated hearing about the different drugs. That was extremely helpful. However, hearing about individuals and their specific reactions, not so helpful. Hearing about Jane or John responded to one drug - don't see how that helps me any more than hearing an overarching statement that different people can have different responses. I think it would have been more helpful to learn more about how/why those drugs impact the brain's biochemistry, the distribution of those meds about various populations, their efficacy rates, etc.
I have a question about Ritalin. Do you have to take it daily or can it be used as a tool for then you need 3 hours of focus
im not diagnosed with adhd yet because im an addict so my parents wouldnt trust me with it (smart move tbh) but therapists always mention that i could likely have adhd. my experiance with adhd stims has always been a love/hate thing. i would always get miserable hangovers from concerta xr, yeah i was taking to much but even at normal doses the crash was equaly as shitty and almost slipped into phychosis. as of recent ive been using focalin IR and at first it seemed just as bad as concerta but overtime i noticed the hangovers get more bearable and you just get used to it. so if you get scared off after using a adhd med once because of the after effects in many cases it seems to grow on you. theres also other medications that coule work better for you, in my experiance adderall seems to have no noticable hangover afterwards and seems to be the cleanest experiance for me.
I'm an ampetamine addict in UK with bdp diagnosis
What's closest thing to base speed. it's less the focus but it makes me happy sociable and makes me enjoy anything I'm dooing
I moved from my hometown to Dublin to study. I needed to get prescription. So made an appointment with the psychiatrist who specializes in adult ADHD. They told me to wait for 4 months (yes, the system sucks). So I got Modafinil - it made me jittery and my comorbid anxiety is through the roof now. I will now opt to take natural supplements such as l-theanine, mucuna pruriens, luteolin, bacopa monnieri and vitamin D.
Besides d3 I heard b3 is amazing for adhd too, but like some crazy dosage. Im slowly increasing it, but natural methods obviously need to be consistant... which I dont find possible right now. I was taking 2g max per day, (it needs to be a good one chemically too!) and I read when it helped some people at 5... and mixed with other suplements too ofc... so i dont think i can get there tbh :|
I tried to go the route of taking medicine to do the suplements, but they dont work too :|
Oh and keto diet apperantly also. But these natural stuff really overwhelm me at the moment 😢
@@soirema oh, I know what you mean. Everything is overwhelming for Christ's sake! BUT, not every day. I wait until I have a "good" day and then research and buy supplements. Hope you're doing better now. 😊
here's my experience with each medication i've taken or been prescribed
vyvanse: no generic and the insurance didn't approve so i couldn't get it
focalin: didn't treat my symptoms instead i had weird and creepy dreams that stopped when i stopped taking it
adderall: my starting dose actually showed results and i was able to focus easier so i had my dosage upped i did experience loss of appetite but i was fine with it bc i just had to eat before taking it it lasted 4 hours after i took it and i actually liked the side effect bc i knew when it kicked in and wore off easier
strattera: i was switched to this in the hospital and still take it now and have discovered it's not doing anything so i want to switch but have concerns over interactions with the other medications i was put on at the same time i started taking strattera
i have hopes of going back to adderall but it could interact with my other meds and the other meds i feel are needed more than adhd meds but i still need help with my adhd so maybe i might stop taking medication and try alternative methods
Is there any serious side effects for Strattera on the long term (affecting the brain genetically for ie).
i am on 50mg vyvanse combined with 300 mg wellbutrin now and it makes a huge difference for me
Interesting topic, but I remain unconvinced by anything in the video, and that onslaught of stock footage is incompatible with my ADHD. 🙄 This video's comments are much better than the video, you guys are awesome 😆
I like guanfacine or intuinive. It's non stimulant non addictive. It also helps with high blood pressure. It's maybe not as strong as some of the stimulants but it doesn't affect my personality or zombafy me. My memory is better and so is my focus.
I'm kinda on medication for adhd my doctor put me on wellbutrin but I'm not finding it works. Great info BTW! 👍
I can totally relate to this !!
Thanks this is helpfrul
I’m 21 and newly diagnosed and trying different medication to see what works. Concerta worked amazingly, but gave me arrhythmia that caused problems and tachycardia, now I’m trying Adderall-XR and all it does is makes me ridiculously irritable and makes my symptoms worse!!! Not sure what my doc will suggest next but it’s extremely draining to have to go back to hamster brain when I got a taste of how life can be with Concerta. It’s extremely difficult during all my assignments but reading that more seasoned ADHDers went through a good handful of medication before finding the right one is comforting. I just wish it didn’t take so long, now that I know how life changing it is!!!!!!!
Vyvanse really works well for me. I only take 20mg a day, so while there are side effects the amount I take makes them nearly negligible. I am usually able to perform better in every respect, but I can still become irritable if I haven't eaten. Reduced appetite is a symptom so a routine to keep yourself well cared for is necessary.
Any updates? i have the same effects with adderall and i hate it, which one would you recommend?
@@scythiantarot8880
*Update:*
I stopped aderall shortly after my comment! I’m on a non-stimulant now, Straterra, and it’s going well despite taking a while to kick in. Personally, they don’t affect me as strongly as stimulants do, however now that I’ve been taking it consistently enough to have it work, it’s efficient.
*About Straterra:*
It levels my energy throughout the day which makes me more reliable for motivation and working once I get in the zone, and I don’t have unpredictable energy levels anymore! That being said, it does not give me, personally, the increase in drive and alertness and “getting up-ness” that stimulants do- it just makes it possible to start up those things myself. since I can’t take those this is great as an alternative to nothing at all, despite a stab in my sex drive too.
*About Aderall-XR:*
specifically, for me, those side effects were NOT WORTH IT. And I’d need to constantly increase my dose as my body got used to the drug very quickly and it’s stopped working, despite incredible side effects. Increasing those side effects were not an option, so that medication isn’t effective for me on its own.
*Combination Doses:*
I had a couple days of mixing 5mg aderalll (I was prescribed 10mg initially, and would have increased if I didn’t stop taking it) on top of my straterra which was noticeably more helpful than straterra on its own, but the dose was negligible (I can’t up it either bc of said side effects.) so it wasn’t as intensely helpful as a proper dose of Aderall, but it was enough to get me working effectively enough during a particularly intensely difficult day.
*Some hope for you!:*
through all of this, I’ve come to be more patient in my adventures in finding the right medication. It will come, still on straterra which isn’t sufficient on its own, but there’s so many options to explore and many ADHDers can’t afford to be on anything at all and have managed to get their life in order still!! So there is lots of hope and room for our brains!!!
Best of luck to you dude!! And sending you patience XD
@@dps8629 Everything I’ve tried has been appetite reducing lol! But vyvanse sounds potentially very helpful! I don’t have insurance to cover it so it becomes a weekly 200$ for me where I live and I can’t afford that XD Happy it works for you, a lot of people like vyvanse!
You missed Intuniv, Modafinil, Wellbutrin and maybe one other I forget right now
In Germany, at least in some places, we are so far behind. Especially in everything psyschology/neurodiversity-related. Especially in mid-rural areas (not the big cities) ADHD is still only recognized as "zappelphilipp-syndrom", and "only children have it, adults grow out of it". And best you can get easily is Ritalin. And many psychologists only see "depression", which is just a minor comorbodity of my ADHD. And they treat you only for "depression". Antidepressant, see ya once in half a year. That's it. Our health care system is so damn much symptoms-oriented (and there is economically an interest in Germany from the lobbies that once you have something, you "subscribe" to it.) And while we do get appointments with doctors (and "health care") it's never structurally enough to work on the cause and improve the cause. Germany's health care system is fine, when you have chronic boomer diseases (like diabetes 2) and you get your stuff for it, - like my parents do. But no one is actually improving. Or cares.
Another story: I went to four eye health doctors (opthomatologists), because of chronic dry eyes and blepharitis. No one cared. "Just use drops occasionally, you have to live with it." And then I called a doc from Frankfurt (so I decided to ditch the rural areas), and at least he [ (*) see footnote ] was able to explain why no one cared. Because it is a structural problem in our health care system, how they can get back costs from the insurance. So when an eye doc tries do actually do something against my blepharitis, it costs them, also a lot of time to diagnose and they don't get it back effectively. They make money effectively with older people, who get cataract surgeries and/or glaucoma treatments. But no one cares about a 30-something who is close to losing his job because of chronic blepharitis and sicca / dry eyes syndrome. (in fact: just browsing reddit was better than opthomatologists in Germany!) [ (**) read here for what helped me in the end! ]
So haha, this was more of a rant! And more of an analogy about other medical fields. But I feel the same about psychology docs. I actually don't feel really taken seriously or safe by docs in Germany. It is always so much hit or miss. And it takes ages to find a professional doc, who understands your (niche) issue. And we always get new treatments very late.
footnotes: (in case anyone reading this suffered from the off-topic stuff, I was describing)
*] Gero Mayer, Frankfurt am Main (he is really a good/nice guy!, google him, if you suffer dry eyes) and he recommended me to Dr. Julia Stöckle, Artemis Augenklinik, Eschersheimerstr. - both great and for more sever cases, where only scleral lenses might help.
**] Ironically, in the end, I just switched my rural/local eye doc once again, for the once-per-year check-up and he said I should try mixing 0,4% hyaluron drops (hylogel, but hylogel only has 0,2%, so I went with Ocutears+ from Santem or Santen) with the expensive "EvoTears Omega" (16 Euros to up to 23 Euros per 3ml!). So I drop the 0,4% in my eye, and then right after it I drop EvoTears Omega into it. It takes some time to get it right. Two different drops in each eye. (and for the drops staying in there). But like crazy. Like 8times to 10times per day! I also took daily Omega-3 fish oil supplements (Omega-3 1000 with high EPA and DHA). Around AFTER three months I noticed a major difference. I'm only on the hylo/ocutears drops now, like twice a day. And I have money for food again! :D And my blepharitis is OFFICIALLY GONE or so low that it can't be diagnosed right now. But I had it diagnosed for like 2 years.
10mg Desoxyn is great if you can get it. Evekeo sounds like the old Benzedrine. Maybe it is time release?
Another person swerving the stigma that taking a prescribed stimulant for my condition equals addiction. Negative ghostrider. Neurotypicals abusing a stimulant is an addiction. Big diff. Fun fact, its common to take a break and its never a one size fits all. It does take trial and error to find the right medication for treatment.
Can also take breaks on the weekend to mitigate tolerance. The medication isn't necessarily needed all day every day.
that is correct in my experience as well.
i tried 3 so far- Adderall, Vyvanse, and Concerta. I'm a bit down the V didn't work even at 50. i did notice am improvement adding supplements to it though. Just got through first day of concerta. I'm liking what Im seeing so far. Like I dont get energy from it and it takes longer for it to work for me than even Vyvanse. BUt omg the focus, i never could get the other 2 to actually helpme focus. I guess i might be the innovative type :)
Sounds really weird but I found that gabapentin gave me focus and clarity. I am currently using Wellbutrin and it gives me a “drive” as I am usually more of an inactive type but makes me a bit more jittery and scatterbrained.
o boy, that was a treatment I was on for some time . Wellbutrin is a tricky med
I just started streterra 40mg at 29yrs old after just being diagnosed 2 weeks ago and I'm already feeling a little more clear headed and have been able to just sit down and focus on certain projects but I have seen experienced some nausea, headaches which I normally get anyways so it's hard to tell just yet but I have seemed to be more irritable and still have low energy. I'm hoping It will improve a little more as more times passes.
Can you give an update about how the nausea and headaches were as you kept going with it? Still taking it now or did you stop?
strattera has literally worked wonders on me and i sort of just feel like i dont know a lot of the opportunities that I never really thought of before as that I never actually registered as something that could be common for other people are now something that I experience and im like actually understanding from that perspective because of my medication like for example, actually being eager without any side thoughts whatsoever, just focusedly determined on achieving a conversation with someone or really any topic, that I never really thought of as something I would ever be able to comprehend and even questioned if questioned it as something real or ot
I had a hard time urinating so stopped taking it.
YES
I was on 70mg of Vyvanse and loved it. I recently tried Focalin due to insurance issues and absolutely HATED it. Now I’m on Adderall XR!
Oh wow😮 I was on 70mg of vyvanse as well and I could feel great benefits from it then I built tolerance to it. My side effect tho was I got jittery like the lady described in the video n it suppresses the appetite but as soon as you stop it’s like a crazy wanting to eat everything . 🤦🏽♀️ lol
She just prescribed Adderall and to my first time finding out about the shortage and it’s backlogged they say @ every pharmacy I called from CVS, Costco, Walmart, Target & Walgreens . I’m doing my own lil research to see which I could try next, can u tell me why u hated it if/when u can.?Thanku.
@@butterflykisses1222 Focalin severely increased my anxiety, although I was taking anxiety medication; so I stopped taking Focalin quickly.
If I miss a day taking Adderall I do not overeat at all, but when I missed a day of taking Vyvanse, I was ravenous. Once I stopped taking Vyvanse altogether, I gained so much weight, it was insane. My mood swings were really bad too if I missed a day of Vyvanse, so I had to take it consistently. I did build a tolerance to Vyvanse as well.
Although my body reacted poorly with Focalin, it may work for you, but trying Adderall, if you’re able to find it, may be a good place to start if that’s what your doc recommends. I did the same thing, called all over the place but I just waited for my pharmacy to get it in stock. I struggled for awhile but it was worth it in the end. I don’t recommend this but this is just what I did because I refused to take Focalin. Hopefully this helped! 😊
Vyvanse is my favorite and what I currently am on
a month ago I got adhd diagnosis and my 18mg concerta script. I have one problem with concerta, it gave me shortness of breath, I cant talk to my doctor about that, because of I'm not from US, where I live there is only one psichiatrist who believes adhd is real, insane right? I had to through literal hell to get that script. So question: does shortness of breath is really that dangerous? I'm very oversized from taking mirtazapine for years, maybe thats the couse?
I'm prescribed dextroamphetamine XR and then some IRs at the end of the day.

Yes, I been on adderal for 15 years. My blood pressure has been high just recently. I really don't want to stop. Any ideas of what to replace adderal with?
Any of the other meds on this video
Or neurofeedback.
I started taking Ritalin in January and constantly going up in dosages every 2 weeks until I hit 72mg which in all honesty didn’t do a thing other than ruin my sleeping, appetite and overall mood then after a month I’ve now switched over to vyanese (30mg). Hoping it does something unlike Ritalin for me.
How did it go?
yes on neucon from today which is generic for concerta please God it works
Yeahhhh I take 20 ml Adderall XR in the morning and 15 mlg Adderall at noon everyday. I love it!
Has anyone tried either transcranial biophotomodulation (infra red light, or 810nm) deep brain stimulation, or ketamine treatments for ADHD? Or other treatments.
I love my vyvanse. I will take it like 2 hrs before i get up, i take my meds, and those few hours, of sleep, are amazing, no dreams, it makes it 100% difference waking up, im not monster
Yes, Adderall buy am looking for other options as I can't take a stimulant while trying to get pregnant.
It works well but I do crash around 2pm if I take it at 7 am :(
Im on atomoxitine aka stratera, and it works ok. I definately notice if i have missed a dose, im completely disorganised and really cant get out of my own way. Coffee is my other solution, and helps a lot, but can make doing fine finger work difficult as i am sometimes a bit jittery.
its vyvanse, not vyanese dawg
I take 54mg of concerta. I haven't seen any side effects. I don't notice anything when I'm on it... But I sure notice when I'm NOT on it or when it wears off.
I'm much less scattered when I'm on my concerta.
Is taking this medicines for long periods will make it less effective?
Have u guys done adderal and also Vyvanse. Adderal doesn't work any more myvdoctor wants to switch to Vyvanse ... but I am prone to having heart palpitations. And it sucks that's why I haven't changed every time I change my medicine I go back to adderal bc adderal works. Just doesn't last
I’m starting to think my adds aren’t working
Yes I’m on concerta
Strattera was ok for me at first but when my dose was increased I noticed I was noticeably depressed and zombiesh I also became dependent on it. If I hadn’t taken it I became very irritable and had hella high anxiety. Now I’m in college n on vybanse I think it’s ok but I’m on 20mg it’s js smth that hurts my head 😅
Not on medication. Been diagnosed since I was 10. (I'm 21 now). I had truble in school, and now I'm failing college. Not due to being stupid but cuz my ability to focus doesn't exist.
Why am I only now taking care of my ADHD? Cuz my parents and doctors and teachers said "It will stop with age, I will grow out of it" it is ruining my life. Tommorow I have a doctor's appointent and I'm hoping to get some medication. I'm worried of addiction and dependency but I can't do it anymore. I want to be normal.
Im 37 and am so tired of fighting through ADHD just got put on straterra but had a terrible time peeing so I am going to see about another medication. I want vyvanse but apparatnely it is hard for insurance to approve and for doctors to prescribe. Maybe something less controlled like concerta would work.
I've been on concerta 36 mg for 5 months now and i actually don't know if it's working i saw improvement to my sleep and energy but i still struggle when i have to study what should i do to start have motivation to study? i feel paralyzed i now that i should be studying but i can't help it
I felt that way too, but then I switched to 54 and Ive seen the decrease on my symptoms, mainly impulsivity and increased tolerance and attention in the daily life. But my appetite and anxiety has suffered the most, now I’m consciously trying to eat nearer the pill time so that it doesn’t supress it.
I am going to a psychiatrist appointment next week and I am considering treatment with medication. I am 21, graduated high school very barely made it, and continuing the education is out of question right now with how chaotic my everyday live gets with adhd.
The thing I am worried about is that I am already skinny, borderline underweight and have low appetite (not all the time, but commonly).
So does anyone take maybe some counter-medication that helps with not losing weight while on stimulant meds?
Thank you for answers :)
One of the recognized medical benefits of weed (in some parts of the world) is increased appetite and reduced nausea, and it's sometimes prescribed when the meds needed for an illness are causing those issues. So that could be an option.
@@renxula I honestly wish I could "stomach" weed like a normal person, better than chemicals. Last 5-10 times I tried smoking I had panic attacks like bad ones (even small puffs made me tremble), that was almost 2 years ago, so im not saying never :DD also illegal here so I cant bother.
If you do get on an adhd medication to augment the appetite suppressant ask your doctor for mirtazapine. It’s a common and frequent prescribe medication to treat insomnia and anorexic(difficultly gaining weight). I have been taking it for insomnia and boy do I eat a lot.
@@liltunturi1251 hi, just eat something non acidic (no vitamin c in it!) b4 it kicks in & b4 bed. If u can’t force urself to eat anything while ur med is active, ur dose is prob too high
There are some meds that make you gain weight. I have a cousin who is on this meds to gain weight. Talk about with your doctor.

How do I fix THE DRY MOUTH FROM VYVANSE??? Do y’all get white spots on the edge of the teeth??? Like demineralization
I'm on strattera 60mg, was diagnosed roughly 3 weeks ago, not seeing an improvement yet. I was also diagnosed bipolar 2 weeks before that and put on lithium. All in all just super depressed and fatigued.

@@saraparker4082 hi Sara,sorry form my english i am.from spain,i am in a similar situation,hiw it works for you?
Hopefully you have a better diagnosis now. Do be careful if the doc starts prescribing multiple meds. They don't always interact well and the reaction can be different in different people. I was a puddle of tears by December 31st because of this. Stop one med and immediate felt better, but some meds for depression, you can't just stop, so be sure to work with your doctor of how to step back down.
What about Bupropion, at least thats the Name in Germany (i have the feeling you might be german though acctually, hah!??) anyway, its an Anti Depressive but i was told that in the US its used for ADHD as well. I took it in a depression phase just after my diagnostik, so i personally can't really say as it was too early for me to judge at that point. But while im not really noticing much with Elvanse (Vyvanse in the US) so im thinking of maybe switching back again... any experiendec anyone? thx
The captions at 4:10 are a gem lol
I am very fearful of all the meds after reading comments. I am grateful for your information and experiences but now to scared to even ask Dr. to prescribe medication. I so want and need help. To afraid to commit.😢

It's funny that some of the studies show that stimulant medication in medical use for adhd can decrease addictions.
I’m meeting with a doctor today to get evaluated for adhd. I pretty convinced at this point I have adha. I’m 28 and wish I did this years ago I feel like it’s really had a negative impact on my life. I don’t expect a magic pill to take care of all my problems but I need something to help me get a leg up. Wish me luck y’all 🤞
Yes!!!
100 mg of modafinil, my first meds, so far so good
Its insane how effective these stimulants are at just deleting weight, as someone with adhd and is overweight, im 18, still havent found the right pill/dosage but i pretty much rely on them even if it was only for the weight part as i dont even eat a lot, my metabolism is just painfully slow, i was on Vyvanse for a week a couple months ago after stopping to side effects, i lost 2kg in about 3 days eating slightly less but mostly due to the insane metabolism speed increase.
don't forget to eat anyways, even when you're not having hunger, it's crucial. your stomach needs to have a work, or it may lead to gastritis and gastroduodenitis, and your brain needs fuel, or youre gonna be grumpy then sad, then dumb, then sleepy. stimulants mask hunger, but your body still needs calories. eat at least three times. if you have nausea yoghurt, cake, banana whatever
@@selfishbirch I've heard that effect where people are forgetting to eat, didn't really happen to me, I was less hungry but it just ended resulting in eating a bit later then usual but not much less, when I said I'm not eating a lot i meant I don't have an eating disorder/emotional eating or just eating everything I see, that's not why I'm overweight, I'm overweight because of my slow metabolism and nothing else.
@@yarincool1237 I see. And you're right, I thought you just don't feel like eating in general and I'm familiar with it through myself and other people, so I assumed that it was it. Slow metabolism sounds unfair 🤔
My ADHD has come back to haunt me but I'm looking at smoking CBD strains because wen I used to take Adderall I remember I used to have painful abdominal pains and I'm not ready to go back to that
I'm a person very sensitive to medication sides. Very. I tried Adderall and it wasn't good for me. I tried Strattera and it was good for the mood and emotional parts but the sides were rough and no real benefit as far as focus so I'm un-medicated
I’m currently on strattera and Wellbutrin, but it’s not really working, I still feel tired and unmotivated. I want to try a stimulant, have an appointment scheduled in a couple weeks.
Wellbutrin ruined me. I hope you have a different outcome on it! It was great for a year and then all came crashing down. Lost half of my hair too. Been off it over a year and it still hasn’t grown back completely
@@Jessica-wr2dc I noticed improvements, but things have been normalizing. I still have a lack of motivation, but I’m not falling into those “voids” I truly feel like my depression is being treated.
Strattera isn’t helping me at all though. I still can barely focus and rely on coffe/energy drinks to function
That comb had me crying all the time and I'm not normally like that. I stopped the welbutrin and immediately felt better... I'm still not getting enough work done at work which is why I watched this video to see what might work better, but right now I fell great again and no anxiety, but if I don't complete something at work soon, I might have a bigger problem.
I originally was treated for schizophrenia and bpd but over time my therapist discovered I actually have adhd and ptsd. I am debating on taking meds. Anybody have any recommendations? I take an anti psychotic and an anti anxiety already
I had try every single and one of those meds, and no luck:( I am giving up.
