Is it worth continuing or is this a sign my body just isn't tolerating it? I don't seem to be able to handle the vast majority of meds due to hypersensitivity/super-slow metaboliser. First few weeks were -ok- but was taking a nap every day, which I didn't mind, but in these last few days it's been accompanied by crippling lack of motivation/drive and a depressed mood. I have 18mg I'm due to increase to in 1.5 weeks but tempted to take them sooner to see if it helps. Just wondering if anyone dealt with anything similar? Did it get better for you or did you have to give up on it?

First week was amazing - I felt calm and my brain was quiet. Week 2 anxiety came back a bit, but I continued to feel motivated and was doing tasks I'd normally struggle with. Going into week 3 I had my PMS week and had PMS like I hadn't had it for years, extreme restlessness, tension, irritability, appetite went into overdrive. Now that's over, these past 2 days I've been completely sapped of motivation - the things I was managing to do as part of my routine have stopped, and I'm finding myself spending most of the day in bed tired. From day 1 I've had to have a nap a day despite sleeping ok at night - I haven't minded this as I'm normally too hyperactive to nap so it's been quite nice! But I also still had motivation and felt pretty upbeat and positive. In the past week it feels like it's all evaporated and now I'm just left with this exhausted, unmotivated feeling.

Anyone else had anything similar? Will it get better? I thought side-effects should be getting better, not worse :( I am AUDHD hypersensitive to meds, just been prescribed another 2 weeks at 10mg then will go up to 18mg for 2 weeks.

Just started 4 days ago. I am hypersensitive to meds, pretty sure I'm a super slow metaboliser based off my (unsuccesful) reactions to multiple other meds. Audhd.

I've been sleeping 9 to 10 hours a night then needing 2 one hour naps throughout the day. Is this going to go away? Did it happen to anyone else and did it go away? I love how calming it is and 1st day i felt amazing, I so want this to work!
