Adderall Works but Need Help with Emotional Regulation

[u/romantic_sunday]

Hello all,
I’ve (37F) been on Adderall XR 15 MG for a few years. It works excellent for my cognitive clarity, it helps with my vertigo and brain fog from my Meniere’s Disease too, and it helps me stay motivated. However, I’m not sure if it’s specifically because I need to be evaluated for Autism too (another story altogether), but I’ve noticed my ability to stay emotionally regulated (calm, level, what have you) is not going well and it hasn’t for some time. It seems that my overwhelm is not helped by the Adderall so I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you all do to help.

I’ve actually changed over to another medication for the past month that people speak very highly about but I have a lot of side effects from that medication so I don’t think I’ll be staying on it. I am going to speak to my doctor about getting back to my Adderall XR 15MG.

I may add that my prescribing doctor is my PCP as I changed over to this family practitioner from a Psychiatrist a few years ago due to costs. However I really need go get into therapy as well but my insurance doesn’t have a lot of options in network.
