My therapist and psychiatrist both made a ton of wrong diagnosis for 10 years so I've had to self diagnose myself on the internet to then get the official one (a very complex official ADHD test here in Switzerland)

Hi Sian, I’m switching to elvanse tomorrow (from Xagattin) and wanted to understand if you’re experience of using elvanse was overall better than the other? I ask because the effect of a new drug for first few weeks while on titration might be different to the effects of it after taking it for a sustained period of time. Do you personally prefer one more than the other for focus and distract-ability?

Whilst I felt like nothing really happened to me with methylphenidate (medikinet), the first day of elvanse adult i finally had the "medicated" experience so many youtubers spoke about.. A clear head, focus, no rushing thoughts of worry, anxiety and ideas... Oh, and thirst/sweat lol. But it's also summer. Sooo. I had work that day, and my job is pretty redundant. Type in data, interpret that data, write a report. I work in psychological diagnostics (which is how I discovered my adhd btw). So like the least stimulating, and a very attention/concentration focused task. That never bothered me though since I work in a small office with very nice colleagues so we usually chat throughout the day, and when we don't feel like it, we each put in headphones and listen to audiobooks, podcasts whatever. That makes it enjoyable and I get to finish my reading goals, and my focus is better when multitasking. And today, after an hour of work, I suddenly realised that I wasn't listening to anything!! Hadn't started a podcast, was just working. All that was in my head was the numbers as I was typing each one in. I think that counts as a successful medical trial 😅 as I'm typing now I'm realising im having a hard type replying to my friend in the phone. Usually I do three, four things at once. I type, think, listen... Now I need to actively do one thing or the other. It's like I'm a horse wearing those flaps that cover their eyes so they can only look straight ahead. I hated being interrupted at work today because I was so scared of loosing my flow as I usually would, but I could go straight back in, no inner conflict bc of lack of dopamine. Whaaat. It wasn't like that on methylphenidate at all. I just felt normal, and jibbery with a racing heart 😅 Honestly the biggest benefit is the focus. I'm still forgetful, but I finally have energy to get up and do something, and not stop until I'm done, no matter how far away the deadline is. I am usually overzealous, taking on anything else I want, not being able to say no to others for new projects. Today I JUST wanted to do one thing, and finish that thing. So that was amazing. But I am TIRED. My body has to get used to it I guess, and I'll try to update you all here how it goes the next few weeks. I have exams coming up and the library environment might be different to workplace. 😊🎉 I also have the jaw clenching and dry mouth issue and I hope that will subside.. The dry mouth was worse with methylphenidate though. And I don't chew my nails anymore like I did unmedicated which is amazing! Aside from that I have huge cravings for dopamine after 8-10 hours (I re-downloaded tiktok which is shouldn't have, kept me up til 6 am.. 😢 Adhd's worst frenemy). And my hunger is COMPLETELY gone. I've eaten twice in the past 48 hours, a lunch that I had to force myself. It's so weird. I love food but I don't feel like it anymore. Then again I know elvanse is used to treat binge eating disorders... But logically I had thought that would come back when it wears off haha. I'm waiting for my menstrual cycle still, interesting to see how that affects it.

Interesting video, thanks for sharing. I’ve just taken my last 50mg Elvanse today and I’ll start on Xaggitin XL tomorrow. I’d noticed some benefits on Elvanse but I still have a busy head and still can’t start tasks. The dry mouth was awful but subsided quickly. The first few days I was also so sleepy, as if I took sleeping pills but again that subsided too. I have overall had better sleep. Looking forward to Xaggitin, fingers crossed this is the right fit for me.

It's usually just a 1-1 discussion that lasts around an hour whilst you're in store, looking at the products, learning about the ingredients, trying the products on sometimes, or feeling them on your hands, and learning about the USPs of the brand and who the target audience for that product is. Price point will massively impact who you should try and sell certain products too. So usually when a customer comes in and asks for a product, it's best to address that up-front by asking how much they're willing to spend and then offering two products, one at their price point and one slightly higher than their budget but explaining the extra benefits they would get.

I can completely relate to this as someone with bpd and adhd. Especially that sudden switch. I get it constantly in my current 6 uear relationship and really had to learn not to act on how I was feeling and do lasting damage, but it's as if they might be a different person sometimes with the way you see them. I get the same thing with how I view myself too, it's called 'splitting'. Listening to your videos really helped me to focus today, thank you!❤

@@jacryder735 of course, happy to share. For me it was pre-existing bad mental health that made stop taking Xaggitin and try Elvanse. So I felt quite low and the adhd meds only helping me to focus on work was exasperating the feeling that I had lost my sense of self. Then I stopped taking Elvanse because since starting any adhd meds I lost enough weight to make me feel worse about myself and it became a cycle where I couldn’t take them any longer. But I never experienced withdrawal I instantly perked up within days 😌

My personal opinion is that Jaw clinch is one of the signs that the dose is a bit more than you need for your body. The drug should be subtle. Even if you think it's not working, it's. After a while using the drug they will go away but all you are doing it's making your body adapt to already an higher dose. Anxiety also is another sympton. Racing heart as well. On people with AHDH, the amphetamine works differente, in neurotypicals, they get a rush, as for us who have the disorder, we feel calm. I can even lay down on my bed and chill with Elvanse, while on no Med, my whole life and thoughts keeps popping non stop in my head.
