Ok this is all my own fault so looking for zero sympathy/lectures here lol. Just wanting to know what helps others during this situation.
So my schedule is very sporadic. I have two jobs that require a lot of energy. One is at a coffee shop and the other is a performing arts gig. In August I was prescribed Adderall as my first stimulant Rx to combat severe anxiety. It has been just what I need. I had no problems integrating it into my life until my psychiatrist switched me to Adderall XR a few weeks ago. I take 20mg XR in the morning and 10mg IR boosters (up to 2) as needed for long days. The XR is not what I hoped. I feel real scatter brained and it hits me almost four hours into taking it, I get a burst of productivity, and then I start to feel awful. Yesterday I was dumb AF and I had a really long day and I took one XR at 6am and one at 1pm. (Pls I know I’m asking for it ugh) I literally slept for 2 hours in this weird awake/asleep dreamlike state and I have a performance in a few hours and also a work shift until 6pm. My heart has been racing and I can’t eat. I can’t stop biting my nails and feeling terrible and my throat is dry and my jaw is clenched as FUCK and I am no stranger to these side effects but when the fuck will this wear off? I feel like I am gonna crash so bad. I have to make it through this event for my theatre gig that goes from 10am-12pm. What can I do? I don’t want to skip a dose of Adderall and comedown in the middle of my event, and I don’t want to take more and be out of control. I just need some guidance on how the heck to navigate this day after being an idiot and taking too much yesterday. Pls :(
For reference I am 26F and 92lbs ish.
