Hey, first day with Elvanse!
Was pretty crazy, and tbh 30mg are also too much for me. I find it crazy that this is the standard dose people get.
I had 110+ BPM (If my Mi Band 8 is reliable), slight nausea, 0% appetite etc.
I used Modafinil before to cope with my (then unknown) ADHD and there I took ¼ pill, so also really little.
I prefer to be in control, and this was a lot!
The pills are not delayed (retarded??) and a possible consumption way is powdering over a Joghurt etc.
So I will firstly just try 10mg, maybe 15 or 20. I have a pretty good body awareness, that should be enough.
But still, that stuff lasts 14h+ ! That is intense, longer than a lot of other drugs, even LSD.
This also means that my evening today was kinda gone, because I was so exhausted, like in my brain, a pretty strange feeling.
The alternative, Medikinet, lasts 2-3h which is kind of a joke.
Is there something that lasts 8h? A whole work day would be way better.
Why are 3 comments deleted?
I didnt find anything in the modlog, while my other post was removed as it links to Mastodon.
I find this pretty bad, because deduplicating writing effort is not sustainable
Update: now at least 4 comments are deleted.
Interesting, I'm also like that with many meds. Currently using Modafinil, and it's the same there. 1/4 or 1/2 was the right dose for me initially, now I can take a whole one. Supposed dose is two whole ones, always, from the start.
Many meds come with an insanely high dosage. The worst is Venlafaxine - the smallest dose give many people a terrifying inner pain that lasts for a long time, easily the worst day of your entire year. Against all recommendations, I now start with like 5 - 10 % of any new stuff, and only if that has no effect at all, I go for like 50 %. With Modafinil, that method proved already quite daring.
What's your experience with Modafinil? I find that it works pretty well, but I am working on getting alternatives to try soon.
Btw seems like your comment was deleted too.
