Meds or non meds? (lemmy.ca)

I've been diagnosed about 8 years ago and while I'd say I'm highly functional I don't want to go on vyvanse again because the side effects are so strong. Anyone have any advice or want to share their experiences?

I'm on desvenlafaxine, an antidepressant. It helps with the ADHD "walk through a doorway and wtf was I wanting to do again" problems I have. I'm also a generally functional person with ADHD. Graduated with a degree and all but just rather spacey and forgetful.

Also turns out I've been massively depressed for years so that also cleared up. I haven't taken Vyvanse, but back when I was taking just Ritalin I'd still get intense negative moods and was generally snappier. If taken as needed now it's not so bad.

Overall: 10/10, husband recommends.

(He pledged that he'll fund my medications if I ever had trouble buying them since I've done a lot better since going on them. Happy wife, happy life and all)
