SleepyCatten<p>Second week of titration (lisdexamfetamine, 30 mg daily). Results thus far are mixed.</p><p>When the meds are working, they're great. However, when we wake up the next day, we struggle massively until we've been able to have our pill <strong>and</strong> it's kicked in. It doesn't help that we've been advised to have it after breakfast (a protein shake in our case), as this delays us taking it by ~30 mins daily.</p><p>When we were on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bupropion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bupropion</a> extended release, the metabolites of which have a much-longer average elimination half-life and an even-longer duration of action, we found it massively helped us to wake up and get started in the mornings. It wasn't as effective as lisdex overall, but it was more consistent.</p><p>Next week, we're meant to increase our lisdex to 50 mg. If we have the spoons this week, we're going to look into whether the capsules comprise tiny pellets of lisdex that can be split up and put in empty capsule shells. If so, we'll try splitting the dose into 2 x 25 mg, with perhaps one once we've had breakfast (~10:00 to 10:30), and another around lunch (~13:00).</p><p>We're still under the care of an ADHD clinic until we're stable on meds, at which point our NHS GP should take over regular prescription of meds. We might reach out to them if we can keep our thoughts clear enough for long enough to do so.</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/lisdexamfetamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lisdexamfetamine</span></a></p>
