Meds, Meds, Meds, and more Meds.

I'm on Vyvanse as well as some kind of birth control (can't remember exactly which right now). The Vyvanse symptoms I've experienced thus far are sleeplessness, lack of appetite, anxiety, and sometimes but not very often, suicidal thoughts. Having a lack of appetite is the thing that's been effecting me the most, I eat a hell of a lot less than I did before I took Vyvanse, and it's causing me to become underweight.
The birth control I'm on now doesn't really do anything to me in terms of side affects, but if you accidentally skip one pill? You're fucked and are going to have a period, even if you catch up as soon as a day later.
One of the birth control pills I was on before, though, caused me to feel extremely depressed randomly, and at one point I was unable to function correctly because of how shitty I felt.

I'm on meds too, but probably not the same kind as you are. I take them for my bowel disease, but they have some side effects: Being tired, lack of motivation and weight gain :/

I take Advil and these weird pills that contain 2,000,000,000 little fishies that give you less tummy acheys...

I've had quite a lot of meds, got to be on them but eh.
I know your pain tho.

I used to be on anti-anxiety meds. That helped to reduce the over reacting thoughts, as well as the panic attacks I used to experience.
I stopped them last year though. Side effects were driving me crazy.

Oh and those were giving an addiction too. The sevrage was horrible >.>
I'm just glad I stopped them now. At best, the panic attacks stopped.

just went through a bout with lexapro. had the worst night i've ever had in recent memory and i stopped the next day. id rather just sit here freaking out, feeling like im going to die than feel like that. i've had some weird pain in my chest, neck, back, shoulder area and my retarded doctor keeps giving me anxiety meds.

i'm going to see another doctor soon. this was my last straw and i need to know why i have this weird pain, scared it could be the worst but hopeful its not and its something easy.

I'm on a few meds myself: Clonopin and ambien (for sleep) and Zoloft for depression. I had some bad side effects from other anti anxiety medications such as burning feeling in my stomach and the worst being developing a rash that wouldn't go away for a month, Scary stuff can happen, and I can tell you that you need to let your doctor know when the rash develops since it's a "allergic reaction" I wish my doctor would know this beforehand, because I expect them to know my allergies but all is good now.

I had worse in 4th grade as a stupid bet from a kid I knew. Never do that again.

I take 6 pills a day to "correct" something. Side effects: Could make me dehydrated, make me pee more which is why I have to stay hydrated, some other things I won't list, blood clots increased of chances, headaches that could amplify into migraines. Soon to be on birth control. NAUSEA IS ANOTHER

Have my fair experience with meds/drugs in general. I recommend that you stay away from psychoactive drugs even if psychologist push them unless you ABSOLUTELY need them(schizophrenia or bipolar) don't take anti depressants or add drugs or anti anxiety. All those drugs are like taking a loan from the devil.

I used to take Concerta (methylphenidate or basically speed) to help with my Autism/ADHD/ADD/I don't even fucking know if the Doctors know.

Then I stopped. The end. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ritalin is more chemically similar to cocaine than it is to speed by the way. Speed is more similar to adderall or amphetamine salts.

@funnystory But I don't take Ritalin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

concerta and ritalin both have methylphenidate

I used to take concerta. When I stopped it cold turkey, got seizures. Been off of it for nearly 5 years. Do not quit this med cold turkey. Ask your dr.

I'd rather not take that medication at all.

actually i don't take meds, at least not yet. if i were to go to the doctor and get a propper "check" i think i'd "need" some, although i'm not burning to death yet. i have sleeping issues, and i've had em for a very long time now. quite a few of the days i'm at school, i can't focus on a single thing. when i stop focusing, i can't "start focusing again" if you know what i mean. i am 14 years old, turnin 15 the 11th of august. i am 184 cm high (or 6') and 62 kilos, so yes, i am underweight. some days, make that a lot of days (at least lately) i have been getting anxiety attacks. i am not sure if i really am anxious or if it just overthinking how shit my life has been going the last couple of months. some times, i have suicidal thoughts, but i try to keep away from them, although they come back from time to time. one of the reasons for the "anxiety" might be because i barely have any friends, and i rarely hang out with them. but this is fine enought, because i kinda like being for myself, at least i think so.

@Sheimi Huh, that didn't happen to me. Different dosage, maybe?

Oh I know that. I also did the same with what I had to take. Bad times. Not seizures, but horrible side effects.

Oh WTF is wrong with my medication then?

Lucar, I do not remember my dosage for that specific medication. I was on it for nearly 8 years.
