  • OP, get allergy shots. Seriously. It’s a pain in the ass 2-5 year commitment but after a year I’ve gone from taking two or more antihistamines a day (like, a Zyrtec in the morning and at night, a booster during the day in pollen season, a Benadryl or two if it got really bad) to stop from skinning myself alive with a cheese grater, to one a day like a normal person.

  • Honestly, you ought to try it and see what happens, especially if you can always go back. It’s dependent on the person, so take this with a grain of salt: vyvanse, for me, was like rocket fuel that burned me out by 5pm. It worked mostly well and I only switched because of shortages. Methylphenidate was workable, but ultimately not able to sustain focus like the vyvanse was (this was between both concerta and Ritalin). Also, different dosages of vyvanse might do different things. Be careful of chasing higher doses, though, because that likely means it’s not working as it should.
