I had done a lot of, mostly, well informed research on what I'm taking and I should have known better than to panicking…

It ended up serving as an experiment tho, I'm gathering data for a follow-up meeting with my doctor about how the medication is working.

It alm turned to be okey but thanks for the comment anyway. :)

I got started with medication barely three weeks ago. Next Monday I'll be seeing my doctor again to do a follow-up and for that I've been keeping a journal of the whole thing, including this event.

Tbh I don't feel anything at all from 30mg, and for side effects I get really lethargic for a bit and maybe some headaches here and there (specially in the begging) at a regular time interval in the evenings.

I'm going to ask for something to counter that since it happens way to early for me.

I'm on Spain so at least I don't have to deal with the drug situation there.

To be honest I didn't have the chance to check it up which is a boomer.

I've kinda fell behind uni in the last weeks to the point I haven't touched a book this week.

Studying fully from home (and without online clases or anything) is hard.

Anyway, I only got a slightly worse headache and a bigger rebound effect but nothing else. I now want to conduct some testing…

And also incredibly loud too.

I used to be on ml when I first joined lemmy because I did know better, now I love my instance.

Yeah… and my psychiatrist was probably going to need to rise my dosage anyway. Much calmer now. Thanks. :)

I'm keeping track of the symptoms anyway since this is my first month on medication.

But thank you very much for the reassurance, I almost lost my shit thinking I could be done for a mistake like that.

Just had breakfast and much more calm. I also informed a few people irl just in case.

Uh, I'm on 30mg of Elvanse and I think I took two pills (60mg) this morning by mistake.

On a scale of 1 to 10 of much funked am I?

(With 30mg I wasn't noticing anything at all so I hope to not overdose). :)

I do keep a pool of "comfortable, low effort, simple thoughts" which I reserve for when I need to fall asleep (instead of having a Plato's style debate about whatever in my head until 3am).

I also make use of them to block other unpleasant/uncomfortable toughts when I want pace.

An infusion is, according to WordRefence, an herbal tea (tho technically speaking coffe is an infusion too). This might be just me being pedantic but in Spanish everyone says tea too and they could be preparing ginger or whatever other plant instead.

Sorry for the rambling. 😅

I came here just diagnosed with ADHD and I think I should start noting things up for my next doctor visit because how seriously I've felt the majority of this list.
