Well my son got fourteen 20 mg tablets of Vyvanse almost a fortnight ago. He was supposed to take one or two a day to find the right dosage but this also means he has days without any med until he stabilizes on a dosage with his gp on Monday. It will probably be 30 mg which is still a low dosage. Yesterday he had to skip a dose so as not to run out . before Monday. I let him drive to a restaurant for dinner and he drifted out of the lane, several feet out on the highway. He worked on his resume and sent a bunch out but unfortunately he sent out an old version that had a word mispelled in it. I caught the original mispelling and the fact that he had fixed it and then it reverted back to the wrong version on his linkedin. I feel like I am sinking into a bottomless pit sometimes. I am losing hope he will get a job anytime soon. Yesterday I found an apprenticeship for him to apply for and he said that he did. Maybe that is where he needs to start to build up his skill set. He's getting a professional coach to look over his resume and other material soon. I hope he listens to what they say. It is perfectly possible for him to spend hundreds of dollars and nto remember their advise or bother to implement it. Maybe that is his adhd.

He told me he had months whilst he was at university where he would lock himself in his darkened bedroom and not go out for days at a time... skipping classes and so on. That is not healthy. It is true he is leading a healthier life than that here with me, but I don't know how much more I can take of this.

Edited to add: I am still not fully resisting cannabis. But I do limit my dosage to only early in the morning. Very occasionally at night if I can't sleep.
