▲ 53 r/ADHD

I have ADHD plus a bunch of chronic/autoimmune health stuff, and I’m on several meds. I was on a high dose of Adderall XR before (was on it for somewhat over a year I think) and didn’t notice a huge difference. It mostly felt like a small energy boost. I’m on Vyvanse 50mg now and it feels pretty similar so far. Maybe a tiny bit more energy, but again not much help with any motivation/executive dysfunction.

Not looking for dosing advice, just wondering if anyone else has felt sorta “tolerant” or resistant to stimulants, or like they only help you a little but not in the way you hoped.

Did you ever figure out if it was the type of stimulant, other meds you take, fatigue/brain fog, sleep, chronic illness stuff, etc? And what did you end up asking your doctor about? I’m just really frustrated with each day passing me by feeling almost paralyzed by my brain and body. :/
