The feeling I assumed was anxiety my whole life was gone. The uneasy feeling of dread or that I was forgetting something of terminal importance. The way stuff bounced around in my head and made me ruminate on unnecessary things. I just never had a word for it before now.

This whole time I’ve been in SNRIs that are supposed to help with the same things, but never quite did enough.

I’m only 2 weeks in and it isnt like taking the limitless pill or anything but even just that is a relief rn 🥹

        From some other people I know, general practitioners are more likely to prescribe Vyvanse or Ritalin than Adderall because they’re much less easily/commonly abused, whereas psychs with a diagnosed patient prefer Adderall because it’s just better.

        Vyvanse is pretty much the same active ingredient as Adderall but designed (in multiple ways that are more complicated than anyone cares to know) to be way less possible to abuse. Vyvanse doesn’t have a generic so it’s a little pricey.

        Ritalin is a different simulant than Adderall that has a shorter half life and is less commonly abused for a couple of reasons.

        You might have better luck with getting a prescription for one of those two if your doctor isn’t willing to give you the good stuff.
