Are you currently experiencing tolerance to your meds? What are you doing to counteract this? Let me know!

It's so irritating I used to be able to concentrate on 20 mg and feel the euphoric feeling and now I'm having like 50 mg and I feel nothing but an increase in irritation and heart beat

I gave up my Vyvanse 6 months ago. I had chronic anxiety until quite recently. Intense physical exercise has helped enormously. Also no processed sugar or alcohol and some yoga. I’m almost at the point I was on the meds as far as my ability to focus and concentrate. Calling friends is important too.

I’ve taken a drug holiday from my adderall xr and let me tell you it was miserable. Ignore the withdrawal- that’s integral to the “holiday”- the inability to function on a very basic human level takes a toll on the psyche faster than you’d think. The withdrawal was a cakewalk by comparison

I don’t drink any caffeine on the days I take my medication. I also eat before I take it and force myself to have a healthy meal a couple hours after I take it. It seems to kick in better that way

Thanks so much for this! I’ve only been on my meds for 3months (though I take it every day) and in the last two weeks, I’ve been struggling with staying focused and feel like I’m slipping back to my old self which is causing all sorts of anxiety 😥 I’ll try and take a week off work and have a medication break to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice!

I hate days where you wait all morning for it to kick in and ends up being very weak or no effect at all. Then i turn to caffeine, which I hate doing all the time

Magnesium magnesium magnesium! I’m on a low dose of adderall xr & found that anxiety had completely outpaced the effectiveness of it. Started supplementing magnesium at 300 mg a day and focus has returned while sleep and anxiety are also greatly improving.

I've actually pretty systematically studied this in myself. I take pretty frequent breaks from my medication, adderall. For a while I would feel pretty much useless and unable to get engaged in anything for about... 2 weeks. I started running regularly about a year and a half ago. I've noticed that when I take a break now, the period of feeling low-key depressed has shortened proportionally to the duration and intensity of my run. For me, the ideal is 7 or so miles per hour, for 30-40 minutes. I'm usually feeling basically myself again in 3-4 days. I actually haven't had to increase my dosage from the starting dosage because when I start to notice the effects blunting, I take a week or two off. Of course, I am significantly less productive on those off weeks, but it's the best balance I've been able to strike so far.

I've taken the 3 of the most popular ADHD medication. methylphenidate, adderall and vyvanse. I found that Adderall was out of my league, it made me feel like I had OCD (I dont) and I could only do 1 thing at a time without stopping to eat or sleep. Vyvanse we more calm, made me feel like I did not have ADHD, I could work on a task for hours straight at finish it without having to restart if I did not like is 100%. Methylphenidate worked the best for me, I felt human, ADHD was no longer a major issue, I could focus on a task and still take breaks to sleep, eat and etc. Methylphenidate worked for th best for me and so far after 3 years I dont have a dependence for it, yes I could go without it and my ADHD would come right back but I dont feel 'addicted' or a constant need for it.

I'm now 12 days med free but need it now for work.

Don't know whether to push through and survive without meds for a month or decide to see if I've stabilised and take a small dose.

But great video regardless, well done.

🔹Always have at least 24 hour time gap between your doses

🔹Supplement with L-Thyrosine & Magnesium

🔹Have a good night sleep 💤

🔹Make sure you’re eating well, regularly and enough protein

Those are the best tips from my experience to never build tolerance, I have been using only 5 mg per day and never increased my dose for 2 years. ✔️☺️

Hey.. my care plan has Drug holidays in it.
I didn’t know this was a real thing but it is.
I asked my dr if I could take breaks at weekends and over half term holidays. As I work at a school I don’t need to be on it all the time. So my Dr told me about Drug Holidays.. ✌️✊🏻✌️✊🏻✌️
So this works great for me 👌

Dopamine in high levels for prolonged periods of time is neurotoxic, the dopamine receptors will down regulate to stop the brain from damaging itself.

Drug brakes we should all take them, if you can manage to take 2-3 days a week off this is ideal, but those 4-5 days will be a lot more productive

I see you’ve got quite a few videos about medication, this is an interesting part of it even as I’m just about to start trying one for the first time (just diagnosed at 42, already took 3 years to be confirmed). Useful info indeed.

Thank you for making this vid. I’m using this to help me with an overstimulation episode.

Great videos. It's good to point also that "not feeling" doesn't mean the medicine lost if effect or your body became tolerant. Impairment is what you should use to measure it.
