@unfortunateshort @thor It depends very much on the meds. I’m a big fan of #methylphenidate (#Ritalin). Available for over 50 years, no addiction, it works from day 1, no tapering, and limited side effects. It also replaces an #ADHD test: if you feel like on cocaine, you don’t have ADHD. 😅

Disclaimer:
Just in case someone without a sense of humour reads this Toot, I’d like to stress that the last point was a joke. I STRONGLY advise against taking this stuff without medical supervision!

Stimulant therapy for ADHD in teens doesn't increase risk of cocaine or methamphetamine use later #methylphenidate #methamphetamine #cocaine https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-07-therapy-adhd-teens-doesnt-cocaine.html

se of Mind Stimulating Drugs May Backfire:
Usinge drugs like methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine, branded as Ritalin and Dexedrine, to think faster and get better test scores can actually backfire. #Methylphenidate #dextroamphetamine #adhd #stimulants #testing

Any #adhd people on #methylphenidate out there that have appetite suppression issues after tasking meds? Can you describe it to me please? I think that's what happening but don't know how to describe it

Bon ben on a la première ordonnance sécurisée pr Mystere. On part sur 1 protocole avec petite dose (si j'ai bien compris c'est le protocole pr les enfants qui ont 1 tsa associé meme si dans son cas on a qu'une suspicion.)
On va découvrir le medikinet donc.
L'Amoureux a demandé si ft donner le we aussi et oui dans 1 premier temps sinon ça va être dur de voir l'effet à la maison vu qu'action pendant 8h. 😅

I'm so fucking tired.

Please tell me it gets better because after two weeks of #methylphenidate I am drained.

Empty.

#ADHD

The effects of methylphenidate (Ritalin) so far... Palpitations, zombie like disassociation, extreme anxiety, a sense of calm and wellbeing, stronger than usual feelings of love and affection, complete lack of interest in food, extreme hunger, alertness and sleeplessness, overwhelming tiredness and sleepiness...

Essentially it seems to be taking the normal feelings and experience of having two small children and ADHD and turning everything up to 11...

#ADHD

#methylphenidate

As your favorite (or not so favorite) #ADD peep, I cannot enphasize enough how important, without alternative and life saving medication therapy can be.

There is only one thing I regret about taking #methylphenidate and that is how I started contingently saying mean things about and to people. It appears to be part of my newly achieved normality, or at least it usually isn't considered (too) mean, but I don't like it, I still find it mean, and I still startle most of the time.
However, maybe that is just a coincidence, maybe I would have become that way anyway.
#ADHD

Does #ADHD medication help with emotional dysregulation?

Getting pretty tired of being pissed off at the tiniest things and being miserable most of the time.

RT @CochraneLibrary
Is #methylphenidate an effective treatment for children and adolescents with #ADHD and does it cause unwanted effects?
This updated @CochraneLibrary #systematicreview looks at the evidence from 212 studies with 16,302 participants. https://buff.ly/3ngliO6

Have been consistently taking Omega-3, L-Tyrosine and Lion's Mane every day for about a week and I really think it's working. I seem to have much more of an ability to actually do stuff.

I still spent most of yesterday paralysed on the sofa so it's swings and roundabouts, but it's helped me get more work done, which is nice.

Now to decide whether I want Methylphenidate or Lisdexamfetamine on top...

Thanks to the medicine shortage I now receive a prescription for 20 days of pills instead of 30. This means I have to get a refill more often, more administrative actions from my general practitioner, the pharmacy etc. This all increase the cost of me getting my medicine 🤷‍♂️

#methylphenidate #MedcineShortage

Trying #Methylphenidate for the first time today. Let's see how it goes.

Heads up that the Adderall shortage has wandered over to the Concerta/Ritalin/Methylphenidate side of the fence. It may depend on your dose and whether it’s extended release. But my pharmacy’s provider has no idea when they will have more 36mg ER in. Not sure about 54 (which I was just going to see if I could move to).

#Medical question.

As my account is still very small, I would really appreciate any boost, to get my question under attention in the right Mastodon circles. 🙏

Who can tell me more about #treathment of #depression with #ADD and #ADHD #medication

Not looking for advice! Just looking for #experiences from #patients, #protocols, #studies etc.

#mentalhealth #neurodiverse #doctor #psychiatry #psychology #psychologie #psycholoog #dokter #psychiatrie #psychiater #methylphenidate #offlabel

Does anyone have experience with getting prescribed #methylphenidate extended release (still often referred to as #concerta) off label? So without an #ADD or #ADHD diagnoses.

For me it works wonders on my mood in general, mental energy, concentration/focus, fatique. Just to be clear, I don't get high from it. It just allows me to live a life as normal as possible..

#Mentalhealth

I dread working days without my Methylphenidate.. It’s going to be very long days. I hope the shortages don’t last too long.

#ADD #Autism #Methylphenidate #MedicineShortage

Why doesn’t my pharmacy warn me on time that my medication isn’t available? Now I have to go weeks without them because of shortages..

À chaque fois c'est la même chose, le passage à la pharmacie pour le #méthylphénidate est une galère sans nom.
Ce n'est pas la faute des préparatrices ou des docteures (doctoresses ?) de la pharmacie en question.
C'est simplement que la législation et le conditionnement ne collent pas, que les logiciels le savent et que c'est un énorme bordel pour elles...

12/ Certaines choses anodines m'ont toujours semblé insurmontables. Faire une valise ? Trop d'angoisse et de boulot, je panique et me sens dépassé par le fait de mettre trois boxers, trois paires de chaussettes, trois t-shirt et trois pantalons dans une valise.
Alors quand j'ai une liste de choses à faire dans la journée... C'est panique et procrastination (puis culpabilité) parce que ça me paraît juste irréalisable.

Par contre, le #méthylphénidate, sans faire de miracle, rend ça plus doux.
