I’ve been on Elvanse since around November of last year.

I was supposed to get titrated up to 60mg but when I got to 50 I felt… like the inside of me was just a black hole? I don’t really know how to describe it.

In the end I have settled at 40mg. Been on this for nearly 6 months now and don’t really have any problems. I did want to strike a balance between helping with ADHD and not going too far into light/noise sensitivity issues I found are worse when on meds, so it works for me :)

One thing to note though if you are a person who menstruates… I didn’t have periods for a while (due to my contraceptive), but as it’s nearing its end of life they have started coming back and let me just say that your hormones can really mess with how well the meds work. I’ve got an Amfexa top-up prescription for days I am really struggling, but other than those oddities it has been good so far :)

Very weird week.

Father in law passed at the beginning of the month and his funeral was this week. It’s been a terrible couple of months after we also lost our dog (my user-namesake) back in April.

On the flip side, we collected our new Iggy puppy, Devon, last Friday and he has been a gem. We even took him to the funeral.

On balance it was good, I’m still just a bit worried about my husband. I think he is okay but how do you know?
