Hi all,

TL;DR - Methylphenidate much different to Elvanse? In a way that can mean some do better on one than the other. Or/ ways to make Amfexa last longer.

Long story short-ish, was on 70mg Elvanse with a 10mg Amfexa top up, just felt like this didn’t last long enough and after trying all the reasonable things in my control to help this, just found that taking it at 8am, meant by 1pm I just felt crap, brain back to normal and possibly worse.

Moved to 60mg Amfexa split throughout the day. Been on this for the past year or so.

20mg in one go helps, great whilst it lasts, but again seems to leave the system quickly, or at least I stop feeling the benefits in under 2 hours, meaning I either have to have the second 20mg a lot earlier than I’d like, or put up with feeling a bit crap before the next dose.
Splitting the dose into say 4x 15mg doesn’t really help as it doesn’t seem to touch the sides.
I guess the main question is, is there anything sciencey that would mean that Methylphenidate Extended Release would be any better for me? I know nothing about the science.
Failing that if there’s anyway to help extend the Amfexa benefits.

I will obviously speak to my Dr about this, but worry that if I mention I’m looking to switch it up, they will not let me come back to Amfexa should Methylphenidate not be for me.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

TLDR, new to this, ADHD, on Dex, want to know strains that help day and evening, dry herb?

Hello all,

I have my appointment with Alternaleaf this evening to discuss strains etc. I have ADHD and am currently on Instant Release Dexamfetamine (Amfexa) 60mg a day. This helps me in some ways (focus, motivation, a boost in mood) but I’m laser focused on crap most of the time and it takes over. I want something more natural that will give me some of those benefits without knowing I’m taking some man-made chemical.

I’ve smoked a bit of weed in my time, not in years, but it always did the job, but then so did all the other drugs.

Is there a strain that really helps with that stuff during the day, and then a strain that’s gonna help me chill the fuck out in the evening (I have a real problem with that).

I think I want to vape it (Dry Herb most probably), but what are the other options for inhaling it? I used to vape nicotine, so I’m alright with vaping liquids if need be, but just think the flower would be my preferred option.

If anyone can maybe mention some specific strains they know Alternaleaf stock, that would be amazing. I know we are all different and react differently and this is certainly a conversation to have with them. I just like to hear others experiences.

Cheers.
