ADHD memes

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)

If you feel comfortable answering: what were your side effects?

It really depends on how good your psychiatrist is. If they have a lot of knowledge on how the meds work and know the chemistry of why the dexamphetamines aren’t for you, they can absolutely steer you to a better solution. You should mention that vyvanse was a bad experience when you see your provider and give details of why. Good luck!
