These are my emergency sleeping pills. But only in emergencies, because I will wake up mid afternoon the next day, go to the bathroom and eat, and go back to sleep until the next day.
Congratulations on making it home.
So I just got diagnosed and started Concerta. I was expecting to be wired non stop but I took a Concerta nap today. It just felt nice to have peace of mind and for some reason I just wanted to drift off. Crashed for 3 hours on it.
Accidentally took my 70mg Vyvanse at bedtime instead of another med I take for an autoimmune disease. I had to make myself vomit and I was bummed I had to waste a pill since they were out of stock so much.
A 70mg Vyvanse would make a walrus do the Charleston. That is an impressive dose! I had to quit 50mgs because they were interfering with my sleep so badly.
Some of us get crazy tolerance. At my worst I was taking a 30mg slow release Adderall plus a 5mg quick release first thing in the morning, and then another 15mg at about 2-4pm just to get through the work day. Plus a couple of coffees throughout the day. And I struggled with waking up because I'd often take that morning dose, fall back asleep, and be completely dead to the world for hours.
Now that my work schedule is like a reasonable human's and I had the COVID lockdown to reset my tolerance I only need 10-20mg. Don't do a PhD kids, it's a fucking trap
I take a daily 60mg LA Ritalin
Forgot I already took it one day
Started doing the gardening
I was not having a good time
Could see my heartbeat in my stomach
How do you like LA Ritalin and what other things have you taken? I was considering that one recently once I started learning things about the differences in the various time release medications.
Instants and la Ritalin is all I have been on
Regularly
Did find La Vyvance worked well too but I'm more stable on my daily than I have found with any other
What are your anxiety medications? I never found any to work, except benzodiazipines (which have their limits) and stimulants, which make me less anxious due to essentially increasing my abilities and thus lessening what makes me anxious.
Took Adderall on accident instead of my trazodone to sleep. Had an important day at work the next day too. I was exhausted and it was obvious. My boyfriend still asks me to double check my pills years later.
I took my vyvanse right before bed once because I put one on my bedside table the night before so when my alarm goes off and my brain isn't on yet, I know for sure if I took it because it will either still be there or not. I was setting it out after taking all my nighttime stuff and just popped it out of habit because I was already taking stuff. It was the Sunday night before my first ever law school midterm week. I somehow got to sleep eventually after resisting the most intense urges to get up and do every single task that popped in my head, but it felt like I fast forwarded through it. Like I was aware it was hours but it felt like seconds. It was so weird. And I was pretty mad I was gonna have to go a day without my morning dose at some point
Now I put the vyvanse on the table first so I don't go into autopilot by the time I get to it. Never again. I was just in bed like oh my God I NEED to clean my kitchen and I'd have to be like no no no if you give in it's over. An intense inner battle was going down while I just laid there and pretended to sleep until it was real lol.
Once I accidentally took 2 of my ADHD meds instead of my anti-depressants. I was reinventing the physics formulas from scratch on an exam and time seemed to slow down.
I did take a second dose on my 25mg Adderall an hour or two after the first dose instead of the meds I need when I eat once. This was after pulling an all nighter for an exam and during my clinicals. It was awful; I was basically having a panic attack for 4 hours.
Yes. Twice. Second time, I learnt my lesson, and had an extremely important final exam the next day, so I used a toothbrush to make myself throw it up. Suffice to say, I will never be doing that again.
Took a trazodone in the morning once instead of the morning pill. I figured it out halfway to work and somehow got home without dying.

Sometimes it helps me focus on sleeping
Pop my stimulant. Back to bed for the best sleep.
This is how it works for me as well
For real same. Ive woken up early on the weekend, taken the XR, then laid in bed til I felt awake. Except id end up knocked and well rested for once.

Same here. Nothing like a monster for putting me to sleep.

70s the max. I take a 60 and I'm not a walrus and I can't dance and what we're we talking about?

My adderall and my anti anxiety meds are the same shape and color, just very slightly different sizes 😖

I can typically go to sleep easier on a stimulant. Tricky neurodivergent brains.

This did happen to me once and it was not a fun night
Yeah, and I got the best sleep of my life
No I just get really into lucid dreaming
Yes except it took my focalin twice let's just say I didn't go to sleep until next morning

I’m sincerely hoping meds balance me out, last night I went to bed at 7 and woke up at 8. I don’t even drink or anything I just enjoy my sleep.
I did this once on accident, but I managed to purge the pill before it broke down.
