So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,

(Edit: I just realized I posted this on ADHD memes. Can't stop being a clown)

After an odyssey I've been finally diagnosed at 18 of age with "a textbook example of ADHD" (-my psychiatrist) and high QI. Lmao I wish.

They gave me 30gm of lisdexanfetamin (Elvanse) and I just took a pill a few hours ago after getting up.

The thing is that I'm not feeling a single thing different in any way and I don't even what should I be expecting. I might be scared of having expend more money and time because of the dosage not being right…

How were your first moments/days/weeks with medication? (I you don't mind sharing).

I don't want to fail uni. :c

Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you’re a properly massive individual, I’m amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could’ve had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn’t seem like you did.

I weight about 78kg (should stop eating when I'm bored fr) and thankfully I've yet to encounter any side effects.

I'm lowkey surprised because this drug only comes in 30, 50 and 17mg here.

it’s not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it’s right for you.

Never experienced that but still useful information. I'll be watchful. Thanks for your reply. :)

My doctor did 10, 20, 30, 40, and I ended up going back to 30 to reduce the tachycardia. I weigh 74 kg.

Maybe we're just really different people. Or maybe my doctor is just really really careful
