Its actually pretty accurate.

Prefrontal cortex just chillin, the rest completely escalating


Thanks, stole it from some stock site, the overlay is barely visible



Well if you want to learn some german… ;) we all do that the other way around with english :)


I would suggest trying to reduce your dose at the day.

I try to have it just about right so that it slightly stimulates me, but it is still me that needs to concentrate.

Then you arent so exhausted in the evening and can do stuff.

On 30mg of Elvanse I was extremely stimulated and completely worn down afterwards.

Now on ⅓ of that dose, this is way less extreme.

Still a bit, but not that much.

You could also try medication that doesnt last as long. You would move the tiredness to the end of the workday, and could possibly have recovered already in the evening.

You know, set priorities. Currently it seems your priority is to work the best you can. But this means your brain is exhausted in the evening.

I oppose the other comment about just taking more. Be careful with your brain.

Cheers!

Didnt know that! Will have to look for side effects with Amphetamines.

I got it from Sweden, so yeah.


Yup, pretty strange, only happens in this thread in this community


Yes because you build up a tolerance 😅 still, increasing the dose increases the stress on your body, what it needs to digest, and possibly more.


Might be a weird Lemmy Federation issue


So you just took the same dose the next day?

Your body doesnt get used to that, the only method it has for this is tolerance.

So if you just take big amounts every day, tolerance may make it seem as if it was less. Still you have possibly too much in your blood…


Strange… this may be a Jerboa issue

Btw seems like your comment was deleted too.


I will have to try Modafinil again, it might work similarly or worse.

I dont have experience (period) with Amphetamines and homeoffice / doing Uni stuff while some Github issues might also be important.


Yeah and the professional didnt tell me that I can ust open the capsule, mix the powder and take a third, then a half, then 2 thirds etc.

So having that data would be very valuable.


Thanks for the Viramin tip!

It was definetly not a wow effect, that stuff was physical.

For me the cost is mostly way too much time (nearly a day just spent on getting a prescription). So with the 40mg 100x I could last at least 200 days!


Interesting!

Anxiety is caused by Dopamine? I am not sure here, but would expect it to be bound to low Serotonine and high Adrenaline and Noradrenaline (aka. Norepinephrine).

Noradrenaline (aka. Norepinphrine) causes alertness and is associated with the “fight of flight response”.

I have no idea why somebody would prescribe something for a person with 1. ADHD and 2. Anxiety issues.

But I assume the person may know better.

ADHD, to my knowledge, is mostly an issue of overactive pumps removing Dopamine from the synapse slit too quickly.

I used drinking Coffee, or Modafinil (which afaik also works on noradrenaline) as a substitute which tbh is pretty bad. I have the feeling that Amphetamines are better.

But I will have to see under exactly the same conditions. For example on Modafinil I could spend a day hyperactively doing random shit I shouldnt do. This might as well happen with Amphetamines, I will have to see that.


Interesting! That is an atypical treatment, isnt it? It is a norepinephrine-reuptake-inhibitor, unlike others that act on Dopamine.

Why did you get this instead of the typically associated meds?

It could be interesting to switch (for people that really cant take pauses) between this and Amphetamines (acting on Dopamine) to avoid a tolerance.

Another person told me Adderal would last equally long, while that works on Dopamine.


Thanks, yes there will be huge differences.

Funny, I didnt get a tolerance often, for example with Cannabis. I got one with Caffeine I think.

I think with cannabis was because I took so little.

I want to try the “as low as possible” way. And maybe also 10mg Elvanse in the morning, something shorter lasting in the afternoon.

I will wait a few days and see how that evolves, but that was so much I am sure I dont want that every day and also not sometimes.

Actually, on the packaging it says that you can open the capsule and digest with joghurt. Pretty strange method, but thats why I did it.

Maybe the fat helps with a slower release. I will see, today I experiment with 10mg sober, may kick a bit too hard.

Vyvanse seems to just be a chemical prodrug, so the capsule is less important than the actual compound, regarding the release delay. That is my interpretation, I may keep you updated.

Thanks a lot for all the tips! I will try a lower dose and also make pause days (apart from weekends).

I will try Adderal, if that is not good enough, if I can find the compound it includes (it is also just some form of Amphetamine, likely with less molecules attached so it goes faster).


Thanks yes I can imagine that.

I am generally very sensitive against drugs, noise, bad swimming water, …

So I react way more than others.

Two issues here. It is no problem to just split a pill. I open it up in a good vessel, shake it a bit and eyeball ⅓ of it. No atom science.

And I would like to tell my doctor that I want to increase the dose, if I dilute anyways, I wouldnt need to go that often.

There is a 40mg 100 capsules package, which would last like a year for me!

But at the same time I would like to tell him that 30mg is not a safe dose, he should teach first time patients to open the capsule and dilute themselves. You can easily do that.

But then he might not prescribe me what I need, because some garbage argumentation that it is not safe to split yourself or whatever.

I might just try it, and explain my reasoning. He is kinda nice.


8D is a horribly stupid name

Look for “binaural recording”, “dolby atmos” or “surround”. Very different techniques, there is a lot on soundcloud (there is a downloader addon for Firefox)


This may be adult disenchantment. I think this is a general progression of how we see the world.

I personally still have a ton of awesome things to deal with etc, but absolutely, diving into fantasy dreamworlds is farer away


Medication lasting 8h, not 3 or 14?
Hey, first day with Elvanse! Was pretty crazy, and tbh 30mg are also too much for me. I find it crazy that this is the standard dose people get. I had 110+ BPM (If my Mi Band 8 is reliable), slight nausea, 0% appetite etc. I used Modafinil before to cope with my (then unknown) ADHD and there I took ¼ pill, so also really little. I prefer to be in control, and this was a lot! The pills are not delayed (retarded??) and a possible consumption way is powdering over a Joghurt etc. So I will firstly just try 10mg, maybe 15 or 20. I have a pretty good body awareness, that should be enough. But still, that stuff lasts 14h+ ! That is intense, longer than a lot of other drugs, even LSD. This also means that my evening today was kinda gone, because I was so exhausted, like in my brain, a pretty strange feeling. The alternative, Medikinet, lasts 2-3h which is kind of a joke. Is there something that lasts 8h? A whole work day would be way better. --- Why are 3 comments deleted? I didnt find anything in the modlog, while my other post was removed as it links to Mastodon. I find this pretty bad, because deduplicating writing effort is not sustainable Update: now at least 4 comments are deleted.
