Ritalin and adhd
So I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for almost 3 years now. From 15 and now I’m 18. I have had a number of mental illness throughout the years inc depression, anxiety, adhd and anorexia (now recovered).
I know it’s very common to get misdiagnosed with adhd which is always on my mind but may be the anxiety talking. I used to be on vyvanse and stopped taking it due to the crash and me using it to loose weight.
I just want to know if it’s normal to feel like this. I am very smart and ace every exam when taking medication. But when i dont, i fail, not motivated to do anything just stress myself out with a million things on my mind and half complete every task. I used to be very hyper and not anymore and i think that might be due to the depression.
I started taking 10mg of Ritalin. I experience a euphoric high where i feel like i can do anything in the world and do everything i can. I then experience a crash where sometimes i will be crying for no reason and super irritable and get angry easily.
Anyone taking ritalin with adhd feel like this? Or do you think I’ve been misdiagnosed

I take 20mg of Ritalin for my studies. I do feel a nice euphoria and strong hyperfocus for about 4 hours, then I normally take a nap afterwards. I don't however experience any crash, I just feel a little tired.
You need to speak to your doctor as 10mg is not a high dose, you may need to be switched over to amphetamines or a longer acting formulation like concerta or Elvanse.
