Does anyone have a love/hate relationship with adhd meds (specifically vyvanse or addy)? I feel like I am so much more confident, social, productive on them but when I take one I almost always want to or will take more…it’s bad.
I also will take to avoid going to sleep and sometimes it triggers my OCD skin picking disorder/makes me feel lethargic. Not to mention that high great feeling and then the crash and I think I take more to try avoiding the crash and then i just don’t allow myself rest. I feel like I am so lazy, socially anxious, less sharp, and insecure off it though. I wish I could just take my required dose each day and feel content. Help/advice please…

I’d like to see some answers to this too because i feel the same way 😕
Urg the skin picking!!! I feel this so deep. I take dexedrine so no help to offer just solidarity.
it’s the worst and I can’t stop😢
it’s so hard…I’m like at war with it and i don’t know what’s best for me…🥲
Yessss omg
*Editing to clarify its the skin picking for me 😩
I’ve been thinking about switching medication because of it. Especially the week before my period, my anxiety and acne get worse and I literally cannot leave my skin alone it drives me crazy but I’m also nervous to switch because I know it works for me 😩
If you are getting high off it, you may not actually have ADHD... typically when someone with adhd takes too much, it just makes us hella anxious. Not euphoric like someone who is taking it to get high without having adhd would feel. If you are having trouble sticking to a dose that keeps you at a functional state and doesnt exceed that, then you may want to seek addiction counseling. If you do in fact have adhd you are at a much higher risk of developing addiction dependencies and finding other more destructive ways to feed that addiction.
I’m going to look into a different medication. I was originally on Adderall and it works wonders. I feel most like myself but I only take it if I absolutely have to because the side effects coming off of it gives me the zangs, headaches, and insomnia… I want one without such crappy side effects. Right now mine is untreated but I’m going to get a consult to find something that works for me so I can take care of my son and still do everything I need to do on a day to day basis.
see for me it’s not skin picking, it’s the hair pulling. I’ve been having insane anxiety and it’s caused me to start pulling my hair again which stresses me out even more because I hate and feel bad about it.
Do you have anxiety when you take it and get a bit agressive too? I’m wondering if it’s just me…
