I’ve been on Elvanse since around November of last year.

I was supposed to get titrated up to 60mg but when I got to 50 I felt… like the inside of me was just a black hole? I don’t really know how to describe it.

In the end I have settled at 40mg. Been on this for nearly 6 months now and don’t really have any problems. I did want to strike a balance between helping with ADHD and not going too far into light/noise sensitivity issues I found are worse when on meds, so it works for me :)

One thing to note though if you are a person who menstruates… I didn’t have periods for a while (due to my contraceptive), but as it’s nearing its end of life they have started coming back and let me just say that your hormones can really mess with how well the meds work. I’ve got an Amfexa top-up prescription for days I am really struggling, but other than those oddities it has been good so far :)

Very weird week.

Father in law passed at the beginning of the month and his funeral was this week. It’s been a terrible couple of months after we also lost our dog (my user-namesake) back in April.

On the flip side, we collected our new Iggy puppy, Devon, last Friday and he has been a gem. We even took him to the funeral.

On balance it was good, I’m still just a bit worried about my husband. I think he is okay but how do you know?

Writes like a dream and it is neat to use a piece of history.

Don’t forget that if you renounce they publish your name on a list of people who have renounced citizenship.

Absolutely ridiculous that we are even required to file, only the US and Eritrea run a system like this.

Add onto that the US requires forms even for people resident and working in the US (rather than the tax system of most developed nations where a majority of taxpayers have their taxes deducted from their wages and everything is calculated by that country’s tax authority), and you’ve got yourself a double shitshow.

Sure it might not be the most difficult thing to do but damn it is stupid.

Do you have common law marriage where you live? In some places you are considered “common law” married after living together for a certain amount of time, which can help in estate settlement.

What is it like to hold? I have a few nice mechanical pencils but wouldn’t mind to get something a bit less expensive for when I travel to the office (my everyday is a YOL but I don’t like taking it out… ADHD, outside, and nice things do not mix well).
