I put an offer for a house I didn’t want on Vyvanse and it was accepted.

I'm dying! Do you live there now?

No, thankfully! The inspection revealed a bunch of problems with the house so we backed out. But I look back on the whole thing and think my fervor to put in an offer and MAKE IT WORK despite some doubts was because I wasn’t myself!

I can relate to this SO much! A boyfriend in my 20’s convinced me I had ADHD (probably just to distract me from the fact that he was a total asshole). I spent the rest of my 20’s on increasing doses of adderall or vyvance. I still miss how hyper focused I was and how little food I could survive on on it. lol. But looking back I was also super unhealthy. My hair and skin looked like shit, I had bags under my eyes because I didn’t sleep, and in the end the anxiety got me. So now I rely on caffeine like the rest of the normies and long for the days I was super human and could spend hours color coding my sock drawer instead of responding to work emails. 🤷‍♀️

Jenny, I freakin’ love you. 😂 I am bipolar and you sound just like me when I’m manic. Obv it’s the meds doing that to you, but it happens naturally to me and can fuck up a lot of things because you become so rash.

I feel like you’ll be googling tonight, “am I bipolar” 😂

But, I am truly sorry you feel like you have something going on and you don’t know what it is. That’s the worst. ❤️

Ok I actually do have adhd. When I took vyvanse in hs it made me hallucinate. I went out with my bf and his friends and could not stop laughing. His friend thought I was on crack. Then in college I was on adderal and that was even worse.

I am an adult with a late ADHD diagnosis.I have kind of known the whole time as have my parents but didn’t realize if could help to know. It wasn’t a thing when I was a kid. Meds really help but sadly I am never super productive it just brings me to normal!

Hi lovey.. what a rollercoaster. I was dx w ADHD in my early 30’s (while a single mom in med school 😂) & have taken meds off & on. Currently taking a short break. Vyvanse was an excellent med for me, allowing me to focus & accomplish things, have less impulsivity, & complete tasks (yikes). For me, with a lot of “H” in the mix, it can modulate my natural high speeds 😂

I haven’t experienced erratic behavior, & compared to other meds over the years, I’ve had fewer side effects (eg insomnia, big up & down spikes in energy.

Definitely a weird med to stop suddenly, so I typically taper slowly..

neurodivergence is complicated.. I’m happy to chat more offline . & I hope this is comforting & helpful xo
