I PASSED YAYYYY

I’m 23 and this was my first try and I did it through adhd, hail stone and a pounding heart haha! I actually said “thank god” as soon as I heard the words “I am pleased-“. I really didn’t think I’d break through my nerves.

I tend to overly concentrate if that even makes sense to where I’m not looking through my eyes properly- stuck inside my head. But if anyone feels the same and you know your heart is going to be racing uncontrollably, I say honestly you need to accept that you’re going to be nervous! Once you accept that you will be and that it’s okay, you can focus on doing your best despite your nerves and you might just end up in the zone!

We rush when we panic and that’s when we forget complete basics. I had a TERRIBLE lesson right before because I was stressing out. So remember to just take your time (unless you’re hesitating haha) and think about stuff!

My examiner couldn’t remember what my faults actually were from but I think I know so I’ll continue to work on those and yay!

▲ 10 r/QuitVaping

I still feel like I’m underwater and my adhd meds are making it worse but I still need to take it sometimes or my POTS goes haywire.

I have chronic vertigo too. I am able to sit and remember that I won’t ever go back to it or I’ll just ruin my progress and have the same problems. I’d just be re-burdening myself.

▲ 6 r/VyvanseADHD

I’ve been taking 40mg Elvanse brand name which- afaik is the same thing, for like 2 years. I am 23F and vaped those 2% disposables from age 18 up until just over two months ago when I quit.

My meds haven’t felt the same since, which of course I expected. i’ve had chronic vertigo problems that come and go for a couple years. When I get overwhelmed I get vertigo for hours or until I calm down. Before i quit nicotine i felt tight chested, overwhelmed, on edge, anxious, short of breath BUT i felt clear headed/ could think. Nicotine would clear the brain fog but also overstimulate me at the same time and now its like when i take my Vyvanse i just go into this tunnel vision, scatter brained, dizzy, rocking on a boat, too intense to talk to anyone mode. Like I generally just don’t feel very well on it anymore ever since I quit nicotine. I don’t intend on starting again FYI.

So obviously i adjusted to medication while addicted to nicotine which I’m aware means i never had the chance to actually see whats right for my nic free brain. Nicotine kickstarted my meds for me and acted like a leveller i think for a long time. I don’t know if my brain just needs longer to adjust or if this is just not the right medication and i need to restart the entire titration process nic free so i can actually see??

Since before and after quitting nicotine I’ve felt mentally better OFF of meds but function worse. Anyway I’m rambling BC OF MY MEDS RN😭. But basically I’ve always been a daily taker of it cause I need to function everyday but recently I’ve had a break in life and decided to take a few days off. I’ve felt so much happier but I have to work today so I took it, ate protein pasta before it kicked in (I don’t do breakfast just early lunch). AND NOW I FEEL TOO MUCHHH. I’m realising my vertigo is triggered multiple times a day on Vyvanse vs a few moments during the week.

I regret taking it. It’s like my head is so quiet that the white noise is too high pitched and too loud. My sensory issues are EVERYWHERE. I want to rip my nails off and curl up in the dark. I’m scared medication will never work for me now because I changed my brain excessively vaping for years. I’m not even sure why I’m posting or what I’m asking but does anyone have a similar experience at all.

thing is I can’t just come off it suddenly. It regulates my body temperature, stops my blood pressure randomly dropping, fixes my chronic fatigue. The PUK doctor told me to “give him a day” weeks ago.

Edit: I also don’t feel interested in anything yet can’t help but focus on everything
