Allow me to vent for a second..

I’m so frustrated 😩

I used to take a medicine for adhd that actually worked really well for me, I felt like I had enough energy to get things done instead of spending so much energy on overthinking and feeling paralyzed..

But my country decided to stop that medicine and move over to another one «that’s just the same with a new name». Well that one works every now and then. Some days it makes me so tired I can barely stay up, other days I’ll get things done and then crash, other days I feel fine and the last times I’ve taken it it’s made me feel sick.

Then they decided to change the medication AGAIN for a cheaper one but still «same medicine». I’ve tried it for a few weeks, and it actually makes me wanna bash someone’s head thru a wall for breathing too loud. It makes me so angry and just overly sensitive to everything. So I stopped taking it.

I told the pharmacy and they said I have to pay for the other medicine (the one that’s on my prescribed), I told them that I can’t take the other one and they told me to tell my doctor.

I told my doctor and she said she’ll contact a psychiatrist to find out what my options are, but until then I’ll just go with the flow I guess..

I’m working next weekend, and I’m really not looking forward to it, whenever I work without taking my meds, I always end up with a migraine or just sleeping for two days straight after cause of how much energy I spend trying to «be normal and perfect»..

Just needed to vent that cause damn, I’m really trying to get back to work and feel like whoever tf is in charge of this is knocking me down every step of the way..🥺

Where are you? In the US a doctor can be specific about a certain brand and the insurance usually accepts it as long as the doctor provides reason. If it's a top-level brand, your out-of-pocket is going to be higher though.

A couple of my bros are on Vyvanse. They say it works well. My other bro is taking Adderall. It seems to work for him.

It sucks when they take meds off the market that were effective. Hopefully your psychiatrist can come to your rescue. Trial and error with new meds isn't fun. I know that personally.
