How long do you need to wait to get the diagnosis through NHS in the UK and how or can you go private and the cost ? If anyone knows answers please ???? Thanks in advance !

I get the muscle stiffness on it even before my spinal injury but after it was 10x worse, so probably a mix of both the med and injury in conjunction. (For reference on vyvanse with as needed Dexedrine boosters)

I can’t seem to function without it. I feel as if I’m moving through life in slow motion.

5:04 😂 that's sad bro haha same here haha ADHD makes you a loser 😂 I have ADHD 😂

Been on 54mg of concerta for a year. When you get back on do you jump right back to your normal dose or does your doc prescribe a lower dose to build back up? I was thinking of taking a week or two off. Also do you take any other stimulants like caffeine on your days off or do you just white knuckle through. Thanks!

Love that! Flow state :) I just got on adhd meds and i noticed this morning I didn’t take it until 8:30 and I was a mess until 10 am. I’m going to try taking it an hour before I want to get up for the day.

38 years still yet untreated. Just figured out recently that I might have ADHD. My doctor thinks I have symptoms of that. But it needs to be confirmed by a specialist. And getting a hold of them in Germany is hard. Interesting how you describe the grogginess. This is like the first hard test for me every single morning. To make it even out of bed. And my brain cannot think straight for an 1h or so. I need to wake up at 7 but I am not functional before 8:30 or even 9am. So I am always late to work. This thing has cost me several jobs on top of my bad attention, forgetfulness, and messing up on the details time after time. People have a terrible perception of me because of that. So hearing how the medication helps you to get out of bed when you need to is great news. I hope it will work the same way for me. But even if it turns out that I do not have the condition I now know by now that the situation is not normal, and that I need to find help in some shape or form.

I haven't started meds. I'm planning to get dx soon. Thank you. I plan to try Cognitive Behavior therapy and other natural things as well. I use Mushroom powder that includes lion's mane. But, I need other help, too. I heard saffron helps. I might order some soon. It's not cheap. So, I don't know when. I have insurance. It will help with scripts if I try something.

My son has been diagnosed of autism spectrum since childand has battled with it all his life. But recently taking Dr Oyalo herbs have helped him improve from all autistic traits completely.

I would have bet my life against this guy being British. Did not expect that 😮

Did stimulants win boredom in jobs?

What causes anger and fustration for me is the crap nhs service and if I was to relieve my fustration by taking a doctor hostage then I'm the bad guy.

People say that we are overmedicated or associate our medication with our daily living, yet they forget the fact that before we were medicated, we dealt with all of this negativity in terms of getting out of bed and not having any type of energy or motivation or psychological motivation to actually get out of bed and go about our days, they forgot that part that we were having those issues way before we got on medication❤❤❤❤

I have a hard time believing you didn't have more side effects, most people do. Ritalin ruined my life

I'm waiting for an assessment but I'm not sure I'll meet the criteria for a diagnosis. I've always had difficulty concentrating on things like school work and meetings. I daydream a lot and then find myself not being able to remember what I was doing 😂 hate meetings at work because I drift off then can't follow the topic once I become aware of my distraction. Ear worms are a constant issue which I'm ok with unless it's a song I hate. I don't have the time blindness, actually the opposite. I'm usually way too early for things due to a build up of anxiety.

Today I lost my experiment results, and searched three labs for them. I just could remeber when I took them, then the rest is blank. ADHD killing me in a LAB😢

I am about to start with medication and the psychiatrisz said, the only thing there is is ritalin, I'll take that and depending on how I react to the medication, we will find out whether I have ADHD or not. Any thoughts ? is it that simple ?

Thanks for the sharing your experience. Taking any amphetamine for months, or longer is going to come with symptoms of physical withdrawal(malaise, low motivation, etc) when your not taking it. For this reason, and for long term health, I skip a couple days a week. I'm still figuring it out, but so far this has worked for me.

Just been recently diagnosed and I too have just come to the conclusion that I suffer from sensory overload at times. Definitely one to zone out when this happens. Especially at work. Thanks for this! Will be looking at your other videos as I’m going to try medication next week.

It is so hard. I just hate Holidays and special days because of the need to be social.

Anyone else have to watch in 2x speed? 👀

I am so frustrated right and angry because every little noise is bothering me while I am trying to study for an exam with adhd it is hard enough to study and my family keeps making noises all day long and when I got up stairs to take the exam where it should be quite then my dad starts being really loud and taking to my sister and I failed the exam and I was so angry I went downstairs to tell my family that I needed quite and peace while I was studying and taking an exam my parents blew up in my face and just the disrespect and my dad said I was getting him. I tried to explain how my adhd brain works and my mom is mad at me and won’t talk to me just because I said I need some peace then my dad said I he would give me quite after that and what do you know he comes upstairs and makes noise so I am beyond frustrated the little noises are too much while I study it is overloading me

I was just out for a walk, and my mind was elsewhere. I didn't take in a thing you said 😂

Vyvanse has been amazing for me. I’m running into issues which getting my prescription filled and it fills me with anxiety because I feel that if I go too long without medication, all my progress will be undone. Without medication the smallest task feel so overwhelming 😣😢 I hope this shortage ends soon.

Your videos are really helpful. I’m a 52 year old woman who was diagnosed this week. Going to take my first pill tomorrow. Stocked up on decaf coffee. Scared about what tomorrow will bring

Why do you look like a Texan vlogging in his truck tho? I didn’t expect that accent!

I'm just starting Vyvanse. Started yesterday. 10 mg for a week, then moving to 20 mg once in the morning. I've heard people say that breaks are essential but my doctor didn't mention that. Do you take breaks?

Thanks for your vids man. I recently got diagnosed then went on ritlin. had one week really good. one week really bad. very depressed and didnt' want to live which was not normal for me at all. just starting the same med your on and found your vids helpful. Thank you.

I truly benefit from taking this medication but anytime I mention altering or taking breaks from the medication. My doctor is always quick to say I don’t need it. I just feel like they are looking for any reason to stop prescribing this medication, which is very strange to me. I mentioned that around my period it’s almost not effective. I’ve also mentioned that it doesn’t work if I take it on a full stomach. My doctor seems to just type in information to a computer and it tells the doctor what to say. I don’t even feel like my doctor is using logic or reasoning.I just have to hide my thoughts and opinions just to get medication and then treat myself based on personal experience. Now what I have found that really really helps me is to take a Tums first thing in the morning with only a little bit of water. Let that do its job and then take my medication by swallowing or letting it dissolve under my tongue. Once I feel like I’m rolling on my meds then I will take very light sips of ON nutrition amino energy. Anything else cancels my meds. For some reason I feel like this enhances it. Once I am feeling my meds 100% then I will have a high protein breakfast. I only do this instead of a break because I’m in nursing school and can’t take days off.

I’m constantly frustrated it’s bloody annoying 🤬

I’m going back down to 36mg of concerta from 54. 54 is too much.

Watching this on 1.25x cause I'll lose concentration 😅

I always try to have a month in reserve. I dont know how that works other places than in Norway tho.

For me it’s day 6/7 I get used to a new dose

A friend of mine takes 50mg Adderall daily but takes weekends off and she said that works great. I wish i could do the same.

The Patent on Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse ran out late 2023) I am not sure when Generics will be going steady or if that means anything regarding the shortages... My consultant made it difficult the same as you regarding Dexamphetamine and came up with excuses as such. Cheers buddy

Aha I literally just posted a question on another of your vids and u answered it in this about the honeymoon state! 😅 So definitely thought the loss of euphoria was a red flag. But surely the elevated mood should stay?

Hi mate, you seem a proper genuine sound bloke. So I was not long diagnosed at 27, and early days of meds (concerta) First few days on 18mg I had this euphoric come up and super elevated mood throughout the day, went on day 6, and haven’t had it on 36mg either! Super gutted and wondering if this is normal because my belief is that means they’re not working properly.

10 years later🥺

Talk faster ;-)

So handsome 😍

Hey Ollie! Do you still use the email in the description? I sent you one and just wondering if you got it, thanks!

THANKS

I've been on Vyvanse for almost a month after beind diagnosed with ADHD at 57 years of age. Immediately after starting meds I noticed a lot of stiffness in my joints, especially my knees. I do have osteoarthritis in my knees so I'm used to some stiffness but it literally felt like I had been walking for miles the day before. I could barely walk the second day on the meds. Also felt stiffness in my low back/ s.i.joints. This being said I feel so much better over all I'll take the good with the bad at this point. I'm only on 20mg right now. I see the doctor next week & I'm hoping he'll put the dose up becase I'm not finding the 20 is lasting me for the full day, I get really tired in the afternoons. But the clarity I feel in my head & just generally feeling 'normal' is amazing. Its like everything in my life suddenly makes sense.

You say skipping a day or two is worse than premedication. I just went down from 30mg to 20mg because my blood pressure is too high and just that decrease is worse than premedication, and I'm on day 5. And 30mg really helped tremendously.

Hi Ollie Did you find an unsettling increase in your heart rate on 50mg elvanse? I’m new to 50mg and wondering if this settle after a few days/ weeks?

Keep up the good content..i received an ADHD diagnosis 5 months ago through psychiatry UK. They just contacted me this week to propose starting elvance. Im apprehensive to start and worried it's going to negatively impact my sleep as im currently taking mirtazapine which woks a treat.

I realize this video is 3 years old, but I just started Vyvanse today. My plan is to take every other weekend (or every weekend) off so as to not become tolerant.

Would you say you're worse than pre medication? I have vyvanse that I've just been prescribed (last week). Going to start taking it tomorrow... I am in NZ, not sure if we have more here.
