Hey uh. just wondering if others have had this problem too?

I dunno, was put on a straight up amphetamine a few months back. Seemed to actually help but province has decided retroactively that no, actually, I shouldn't have been given it and now I've got some dextroamphetamine instead?

And like... still have sleeping problems but now it feels like 'being able to focus more easily' has become 'focus on depression and nothing else.'

fairly convinced the sleep stuff is actually just stress, especially with changing medication not really seeming to fix it?

Kinda wish I wasn't feeling like I'm just struggling AGAINST the medication to focus on things I want to do now. Thinking I may try skipping meds tomorrow and see if I can actually have a better day? Eh.

@Draekos I definitely recall having issues with that when I was prescribed Dex/Adderall. Granted the reason I stopped taking it completely back in the day was I had lots of emotional/anger issues when coming down from it.

Brain drugs are hard. Hopefully you can find something that works for your or figure out how to make Adderall work for you.

I eventually moved to off label Modafinil.. and after 10 years had to up the dose as over the last year and half I found it not working as well. Thankfully my current neuro was chill with that and suggested it over trying something new.
