How did ya’ll pass A&P 168 & 169 online.
I’m taking an online course rn. We use Pearson for our e-textbook.
Tell me your tips and tricks. I wanna pass but I’m a visual learner. I wish it was in person but it doesn’t go with my work schedule. I’m grateful for the PowerPoint but man I wish it was in person so I can also hear the professor.
How did ADHD medication change your life? What medication improved you?
I have friends that are negative about it.
“you don’t need it”
Or they say
“It made a friend of mine a zombie”
Their comments don’t really bother me, but on day one I had the most clarity I’ve had in forever. My brain shut off, and it was quiet.

My friends are so negative about it.

“It made my friend of mine that I knew a zombie” (not me)
I loved Vyvanse. I was on 20 mg. I felt an extreme peace, focused for 4 sometimes 8 hours. I slept amazing, I would be focus on a task. Eventually I started getting the symptom of numbing and tingling sensation in my hands and feet. I ofc did not want that feeling and spoke to my psychiatrist and she wanted me off it. Which yk fair. I’m on my 3rd adhd medication now and none work as best as Vyvanse.
Should I maybe reduce those dosage? I’m thinking of asking her if we can try it but lower it.
Did anyone else experience this, or did it adjust and go away?
Came on here to vent. This year I got prescribed ADHD medication.
We started with Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) — 20 mg.
Vyvanse was the best imo. My mood was better, I was focused for about 4/5 hours and my brain was shut off. I would actually be more hungry. The crash was just basically going to bed because I was sleepy. My sleep did improve due to the fact I’d just want to be in bed by 9PM. The clearest my mind has ever been. I would want to talk less and it helped me slow down with activities, lower stress, and helped me even talk slower. The bad side effect was that I experienced numbness and tingling on my hands and feet. Very uncomfortable kinda felt like a cold burn. It would last for days even if I took a break of them... I mentioned it and we switched to —
Adderall IR (mixed amphetamine salts, immediate-release) — 10 mg. I felt nothing, it took an hour to kick in but lasted an hour. I would take two whole pills and I even tried half a dose. My mood was an emotional roller coaster. Although, it did just make me want to talk less. Oh, the crash well I got major headaches and it was an anger of emotion that I’d feel. Now I’m on —
Methylphenidate ER (extended-release methylphenidate**) 36 mg ..** I feel no difference at all. No focus. No take it slow.
I know it can take awhile to find the right medication but I feel irritated. I’m thinking I’ll talk to the psychiatrist and maybe lower the Vyvanse medication and see if the numbing goes away?
What worked for you? I’d love to know trials and errors anyone has experienced. Should I keep trying till I find the right one or just suck up the numbing and tingling.
I would love to mention I did not experience numbing or tingling with the adderall or methylphenidate.
I’m a 28YR OLD Female. Weight: 129. Idk if that matters lol.
Thoughts, opinions?

I was not fond of my professor last semester let’s jus say I survived bio168. Anywho, they reassigned me to a new professor for 169 and the reviews are not good. I was looking at other professors and found one. Did anyone take Weinthal for Bio169? How does he teach?
