Just wondering if this product is generally compatible with acne prone skin? I’ve been using a thin layer of the true match concealer as a base for years (used to have more severe acne & needed good coverage). It works well on my skin, but now I want something a bit lighter & wondered if this would be a good option?
To preface: I have been to my GP & been evaluated. No health concerns.
Anyone else had chest pressure when starting out vyvanse? I am unsure if this is a symptom of the medication specifically or more of a psychological manifestation of the overthinking. 30mg first day, 10mg day 2 & 3, today I took nothing.
My gp said she’s comfortable for me to continuing taking it (follow up with psych in about 3 wks). But I’m just wondering if this is a symptom others have experienced that will “subside” or is vyvanse just not for me?
Feeling really bummed because the benefits I saw were incredible & now it’s highlighted to me the short comings in my day to day life even more😅
Hi! F21, took my first dose of Vyvanse yesterday - 30mg. Noticed no negative side effects till around 1:30pm when my heart started racing, it was like 105-115bpm at rest. Then, insomnia! I was awake until 1:30am. I ended up getting 3 hours sleep 🫠 Would’ve loved a sleep in but I have a toddler lol.
Anywho, I did not want to immediately back out of trying the meds, but also did not want to encounter these effects to such intensity again, so my thought process was that potentially I can just take a lower dose so my body is gradually exposed vs jumping directly to the 30mg.
This morning I dissolved the capsule content in a small amount of water & drank the equivalent of 10mg. Definitely did not say much benefit relating to congnitive function - but I didn’t expect much, particularly after 3 hrs sleep😅 Though it did seem to “mask” the sleep deprivation, or that’s only what I can assume? Usually I’m the kind of person who is tired without 8 hours sleep, but this somehow felt manageable. I was certainly not energised, but not in a slump either. My heart rate also seemed to be mostly unaffected.
I understand this method may sacrifice immediate benefits of treatment, I’m not particularly concerned about the efficacy at this point, I just want my system to be more familiar with the stimulant gradually, in hopes these effects will be a little less jarring.
Has anyone taken a similar path to ease into it? What stretch of time did you spread the increase over?
(Just to add - Yes I will be seeing my psychiatrist in the next few weeks, my treatment will be monitored)
Upon research I have found many people talking about stimulants causing them cystic acne (possibly due to systematic response increasing oil production). Im on a long, low dose course of accutane & have had random breakouts in the last couple months after being clear for an extended period, so I’m really scared to add this into the mix. However I’ve already delayed it for almost 6 months & would really like to try out meds before I start uni.
Interested to know if anyone has experience with this? How did it impact your skin? (Vyvanse particularly)
Saw this on the Hailey reddit group. I love their humour😭
