Finally starting meds
38M, just diagnosed a few months ago.
My Dr. originally prescribed generic Adderall 20mg XR. With the shortage it’s been impossible to find. We were finally able to locate 30mg XR and I picked it up this evening.
Dr. says 30mg is within prescribing dose for my weight but recommended I cut them in half for the first dose so it doesn’t hit me like a truck if the dosage is too high. When I picked them up, they’re capsules and obviously can’t be cut.
I’ll take my first dose in the morning, and I’ve got shit to do tomorrow. Any tips in case it hits me like a truck and makes me want to crawl out of my own skin? Will food, exercise, etc help take the edge off if necessary? Just trying to plan ahead so I’m as prepared as possible.
