Hi out there, anyone got similar experience?
First, I tried methylphedidatehycrochloride (MPH). 5mg sustained-release capsules were almost OK but I was overdosed with 10mg. I prepared 7,5 mg capsules and felt fine.
But then I got allergic symptoms so that my psychiatrist prescribed Vyvanse.
Vyvanse/Elvanse 30 used to be the lowest available dosage for adults in Germany until recently.
I was overdosed with 30mg and then after 5 hours I hardly felt any benefit any more.
Now I take 15 mg in the morning and 10 mg after 4-4,5 hours. That’s fine but after 4 hours it is over again.
So my psychiatrist prescribed Attentin for the afternoon and early evening.
"Dexedrine“, „ProCentra“ or „Zenzedi“ should be the equivalents in the US according to the German version of Wikipedia.
Attentin is not reimbursed for adults so I have to pay on my own.
As my daily dosage is very low, it is OK for me.
But if I am asked about the dosage of my ADHD medication and say I take Elvanse 15mg - 10 mg and then 1,875 mg at 2 p.m. and at 5 p.m., doctors frown at me and don’t take me seriously anymore.
I am very uncomfortable with this situation…
I had my metabolic enzymes checked but nothing special about CYP2D6.
I’m intermediate metabolizer for CYP2B6, CYP2C19 and TPMT.
Anyone any clue?
