I'm not asking for medical advice. But I'm looking for ways to manage my adhd and idk where else to ask.
I'm really struggling with adhd and I wish I didn't have to get back on vyvanse.
After I got diagnosed I decided to use meds and they completely changed my life. Things became a lot easier. I wasn't struggling anymore with basic tasks.
But now it's been 4 years and the past 2 months I wasn't happy with the medication anymore and decided to do a test and stopped it.
The reason I decided to stop was because I was getting tired of the feeling of being "tired but wired" and being unable to relax and my sleep was not great.
The first 3 days were awful but that was expected. After a week or so things started to feel a lot better. I could sleep better, I could relax again, I even felt like I was able to enjoy life once again without being so extremely serious about everything all the time. I started to feel like my fun side came back.
But now I am, obviously, struggling to get things done. It feels awful to do anything that requires concentration. It feels so much easier to just scroll on my phone. I deleted Instagram and tiktok and that helps but I still keep finding ways to entertain myself just so I can crawl out of this state of extreme boredom and be able to concentrate on a task.
I need guidance my friends.
Is it possible to still be able to relax and enjoy myself and still be my funny self when on meds?
Is it possible to be someone that can get things done and not struggle so much like I am rn without meds?
