hey everyone hope you are well!
kinda looking for advice/ similar experiences really,
In July 2025 I got diagnosed with ADHD
In December 2025 I got diagnosed with BPD
December I started Concerta and it was terrible! Just didn’t agree with me I felt NOTHING, not even the side effects of a dry mouth or anything! Just around 7pm I would be on the floor sobbing uncontrollably.
I then changed to Elvanse (I’m still on that) but working on it
20mg- great for a few days then stopped working
30mg- great for a few days then stopped working
40mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
50mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
60mg- good for two days then bad effects such as isolating myself.
So I went back to try the 40 and 50 again and found 50 better - still not 100% so I have 10mg amfexa (can up if need but not sure by how much)
So I’m currently on 50 but struggling
~extreme tiredness
~dip around 7/8pm can’t keep eyes open
~can feel flat
~today it dipped around 12:30pm??
~irritability
~talking feels like a chore
~prefer alone time
~ im here and can talk but don’t want to/ can’t? My eyes burn
I’m finding it so hard on what to do- I’m just wanting advice
I’ve also just changed contraceptive pills to Yasmin as I also have possible PMDD.
I’m on lamotrigine 150mg
I’m wondering if it’s a dose issue - hormones - BPD - wrong meds??? I’m so lost and feel so alone no one gets it.
50 was great but now it’s not and I really am wary of the methylphenidate type now. I much prefer Elvanse I just want help.
Thank you for reading, wishing whoever is reading this happiness, good health and luck🫶🏼
