Booster or higher dose?
Wondering if anyone's been in the same situation as me.
I'm on 50mg vivance which is very helpful for me but I'm not getting any side effects apart from a slight loss of appitite and a bad crash. I feel that going up a dose strength would be benificial for me but I also hate the crash and it is impacting me quite badly in the afternoon/evening.
I started on 30mg and asked to go up in my last appointment. I also talked about the crash and said that I wanted to try a booster. She however said that she wanted to get my dose right before trying a booster.
I take it at 9am and by 11 it works perfectly until around 2-3pm from then until about 5-6pm the crash slowly creeps in. I feel more tired but still get like bursts of it working. By 5-6 it's gone though and I feel quite auful, just really exhausted and my executive dysfunction becomes horrendous.
Evenings are also really important to me as that's when I socialize but if I socialize in the evenings then I feel even worse afterwards.
I think the booster is more important for me now than going on a higher dose but I'm worried that my doctor will insist on doing the higher dose first.
I think I'm also worried about if the booster will lead to a worse crash after it and the vivance runs out. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
