Ever since I started stimulants, I have been experiencing these side effects on two of the digits on my left hand. Thank you for this video; it is very insightful and valuable. I will be discussing this with my psych NP and HCP.
This is cool thank you I've been curious about this . The irony is that I suffered from Reynaulds a lot since childhood and also terrible pain in my hands in the cold right thru my twenties and early thirties but since I have been on dexamphetamine and lisdexamphetamine I've had no Reynaulds at all. I like to think that shows that the meds really are right for me directly not just a workaround
Would love to see you do lecture on akathisia and med damage tolerance withdrawal etc. There are thousands of people online yet the medical community completely gaslights people.
Oh. Wish I had found this info sooner - anything I saw or read in recent years was like, ‘eh, whatever. You can manage the symptoms.’ Meanwhile, by brain is barely online, I had a bout of Hodgkins & chemo, and I’m always inflamed one way or another… Thank you for posting this. **Now, how does one go about finding a TOP rheumatologist in their area?**
Sorry to hear. You can see your general practitioner first who can guide you. ( not sure how the system works in your area ) but the Gp or physician can help address it or make a referral to a rheumatologist. I speak from UK and Aus systems
I also get pruney fingers. I suspect it is circulation and I also have possible SFN. But not just my extremities, my whole body feels like ice water flowing.
This was very interesting, thanks! 😊 I was diagnosed Raynaud's and joint hypermobility syndrome many years ago, and I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on Adderall 11 years ago, 40 mg. daily. I've noticed that about 20 minutes after taking Adderall, I get numbness and tingling in my hands and I've always wondered why Adderall triggers my Raynaud's.
Its not very common. The reason for this video is to help those if it happens. As some complain but aren't sure what to do. Its more common in females and triggered by cold or by emotional stress. The common manifestation of increased vascular resistance is raised BP.
PS. "GO & CHECK IT OUT WITH YOUR CARDIOLOGIST OR PHYSICIAN" is not "medical advice". It's GOOD "medical advice". Now! - I understand YT-policies & yadda-yadda! - but heart (&related) problems are never to be taken lightly. I'd skip over the "general practitioner" at all and go to a specialist directly - i.e. a cardiologist in this case.
Yes i did say cardiology. But i also know different countries have different referral pathways so even speaking to a GP is a step. But i know what you mean.
..."anti-ADHD" medications have THAT of an impact on your blood-circulation??...that's ... "heavy" (...for lack of a better word!). Does that occur "randomly" or is it limited to people having issues already - like, for instance, heart- and/(or) "circulatory" problems?? PS. ...but...EXCUSE ME! (still don't get it!) How does a STIMULANT-USE can result in what's - basically - an almost "opposite" effect" - (vasoconstriction and lack of blood-flow in your limbs) ?? By the way! Can that threaten limbs as a "WHOLE" ? ...i.e: is it possible to LOSE A HAND or a FOOT over THIS (in extreme cases obviously)?
I've covered in video. Its not very common but can occur in individuals with connective tissue diseases - systemic sclerosis is one. Even without ADHD or stimulants - Systemic sclerosis is highly associated with raynaud’s. The aim of the video is to raise awareness as there are patients who experience this side effect.
@@PsychiatrySimplified I noticed it only later on in the video! :) it's my bad habit to put a comment BEFORE watching a video until the end! Bad habits die hard! :) I'll use the link and watch the relative video - thank You.
So of ALL known disease possible, how many have been a result of developing modern medicine even remotely?? What percentage do people think of possibility? Reply below with your guess or alternatively we could call it your THEORY of the topic.

Glad it's helpful. Its the reason I created the video as there have been many that complain but then aren't sure what to do.

That’s good to know.
Would love to see you do lecture on akathisia and med damage tolerance withdrawal etc. There are thousands of people online yet the medical community completely gaslights people.
I've done a video on akathisia and withdrawal. Do you mean something more than that?

Its worth seeing a cardiologist in this case. Has POTS been ruled out? Or orthostatic intolerance?

I just started Vyvanse. Realistically how common or rare is this disease triggered specifically by adhd meds?
Its not very common. The reason for this video is to help those if it happens. As some complain but aren't sure what to do. Its more common in females and triggered by cold or by emotional stress. The common manifestation of increased vascular resistance is raised BP.

😊
And pls don't stop - its good to know that one feels like commenting! So appreciate it
@@PsychiatrySimplified ...and I appreciate a channel on YT that posts very interesting materials! Thank You. Best Regards.
