update from my last post; i decided to say fuck it and took my first 20mg vyvanse dose today even though i thought i’d wait til my day off… hard to describe the feeling. i know it’s a starter dose but it was so weird trying it for the first time!!

it felt like i had a fuzzy filter on at first, it was so weird, i’ve never experienced anything like it before. i got a wave of like calm/contentment at like 9am on the tram to work, was a bit scattered when i first got to work and felt like my attention to detail wasn’t there with a couple of tasks. then at 10am it was chill af from then onwards, i could tell i was talking a bit more than usual which is already a bit LMFAO. was able to concentrate on a presentation for work for 3 hours and didn’t die of boredom which upon reflection, a win. it winded down at like 5pm…. now i’m feeling tired but i didn’t get the ‘crash’ people describe. i wonder if that will surface later down the track. i got home tired as hell 😭

i noticed i didn’t have any random spikes of anxiety through the day either. IDK. it’s the first day but i don’t even remember what happened. i’m so bad at describing/recalling symptoms lmfao

hey there! i finally got my meds dispensed today (20mg vyvanse starter dose + dex top up for later shifts at my job, my doc reckons it will help down the track when i’m ready) and i’m honestly so anxious to try them for the first time while i’m at work…. but i also want to get it over and done with and rip off the bandaid. my coworker who also has adhd recommended i try it on my day off first… but that isn’t til sunday 😭😭 i’m torn!!

has anyone else started their meds on a work day first? how did it go? would love to hear experiences if there’s any to be shared.
