Re: Vyvanse – feeling calm with new med

[Anonymous]

I don’t have PMDD, but I do have bipolar disorder so I can relate well to those type of mood swings…. 0_x.. and yeah.. and really like every day of that is like a week! I have physically hugged my bipolar meds from saving me from that crap. (still have flare-ups, but not so extreme that I can’t handle it or function) so my heart goes out to you on that and I hope the prozac works well. If not, there are other things to try. so not even close to last chance at relief, ok? my doctor is only doing this trial of stimulants because I am already very stable. crazy ass mood swings do rank.

I’m still a little confused about the Vyvance and its effects. I still feel forgetful, lazy, ditsy, and am working really long days. However, now I just notice every time I forget stuff. so, it is probably less. because before who knows what I was forgetting because I was forgetting, right? from my day off of the meds, I noticed that I did manage to be even lazier. My friend is telling me that my conversations make more sense and he doesn’t have to try and piece them together until the med dies.

I guess I need to figure out what the med is doing and how to use that difference to push me forward. I am a bit disappointed that I still have zero interest in cleaning lol. totally wasn’t the point of the med anyway. I often forget the point of things lol. the point was for me to be able to work a 8 hour day and finish all of my work (ie. get kicked out of the building at 7:30pm.. so need to do this within an 11.5hr time frame). I am now at 7.5 hr. still 11.5hr days, but hopefully my progress is not done. i no longer have fears of losing the job related to lack of productivity..and well.. i should go back and read my first desperate posts on this forum about how i was going to lose my job because I could only manage 6 hours of work per day. Now I am doing 7.5 plus having more actual work.. ie. larger caseload= more phone calls, more problems, more paperwork..because well people need stuff other than just when they see you! then sometimes i wonder if the progress is just experience-related..then I need to remember about the pretty significant difference I felt the first day of the methylin ER and haven’t been to work without one of the ADD meds for a month and a half..

hmmm my med is long dead also as I write this too. lol

time for bed.. i have zero will power about bedtime……..
