Hey all!

I want to preface and say I went to care doc on Sunday when I was really concerned, they gave me an ECG and am going to make an emergency appt with my own GP in the morning. Have requested a call with the ADHD GP asap also.

I just want to ask, has anyone else had weird feelings in their chest with Tyvense? Dosage got upped to 40mg 4 weeks ago.
I’m now having like little sharp pains in the left side of my chest every so often with some palpitations. Not looking for medical advice, just don’t want to feel alone in this if there is anyone that’s had it before.
Keep convincing myself I’m having a 5-day heart attack. It gets worse each time I think about having to rush to hospital, so there’s obviously an element of anxiety causing it also. BP was so high earlier, I took 6 readings, all but one was high. I managed to lower it by simple meditation.
Have enough of this ADHD stuff now 🤣 getting the diagnosis did not fix everything like I thought it would lol

Anyone have any recommendations on therapists who specialise in ADHD / Autism (adult) around the county?

Have lots of names from the IACP website but if anyone had a good experience with someone, would appreciate it 🥰

Hi everyone,

I got diagnosed about 2 months ago. Still going through titration & currently on 40mg Tyvense.

I am really struggling in my personal life. My work ethic has seriously improved but I feel as though I’m even harder to be around, especially for my boyfriend.

There’s potential that I have autism as well, I did a pre-diagnosis questionnaire with an Irish company and they rang back saying it’s highly likely that I have autism and would recommend an assessment. I feel as though I’m being extra difficult, I don’t want to be but it’s something strange in my brain.

Today for example, I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do in town and we walked around and around and it actually felt like the world was on my shoulders trying to decide what to do, and for what?

I wanted to spend time with my boyf but also wanted to spend time with my friend who was in town too. (There was a massive event on, myself & boyf didn’t have specific plans to spend the day together - we just met up when we were both in town).

I don’t know is it my people-pleasing anxiety manifesting or what. I genuinely felt depression for the first time in ages today over absolutely nothing. I didn’t want to leave either of them down.

Yesterday, we were both going into town from the same location. I didn’t want to go together so I could leave when I wanted, but he wanted to come in my car and he would find a lift back to his. This sent me into a spiral of panic because I was worried about him getting stuck in town if he didn’t drive separately. I really don’t understand my logic at all. It’s as if I’m on a destruction path. He has plenty of people who could’ve (and did) drive him home as he had a few drinks.

He’s an actual saint, but I fear I’ll end up draining him. I’m more-so just venting here, but feeling extremely alone and isolated in this strange brain of mine.
