  • What I’ve learned going through this mostly alone is that if you keep pushing a higher dosage of medication rather than asking to reconsider the drug mix and dosage you have because of x and y symptoms you still have that the drugs are meant to treat (ie: hey, I think you, the psychiatrist, don’t know wtf you’re doing, give me 450mg of Wellbutrin because I said so and the internet said so. VS “I think that we should reconsider and perhaps look into the medication mixes and dosages that I’m taking because I still feel depressed, anxious, unfocused, etc etc. and would like to try and fix some aspects of this. Would a higher dose or different medication mix do this?”

    I know it sounds esoteric but it makes a world of difference. From druggie looking for a higher mix to sell or possibly use to life end, to a curious and concerned patient looking to fix a problem

    That being said, Auvelity might help? It definitely helped depression which has the off chance of reliving more adhd symptoms, just not for me and I’m trying to get a formal diagnosis so I can use stimulants to help a lot more.

    Hope this info helps (:

    My mom was the one that didn’t think adhd existed at all. Even with psychs and teachers telling her that I have it severely.

    She was recently diagnosed off the cuff by her psych and when she told me I was like “so does it exist now? Do you believe in it now?” And her only response was “god cameranotfound, that was so long ago. Can’t you get diagnosed too?”

    I fucking have, but getting an actual psych to do an eval to be able to get me medication is damn near impossible. Thanks mom.
