 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. So I wanted to do today a video about Vivaant water. I'm gonna actually show you guys the the famous water bottle, the Nolgene water bottle I've been using for Vivaant water just brought it up there and I have to be honest and tell you guys that I'm not really making this video to talk about Vivaant water. I'm making this video because I have just figured out how to connect two webcams and I'm using the software that I'm making these videos with it's called OBS Studio. It's a really really cool piece of software I'm using it on Ubuntu, but you can also get it on Windows I think also Mac and I was doing one about a cellular router Got about two minutes into the video and then the router stopped working. So on V2 attempt number two What I'm actually doing is showing you the Vivaant water Okay, so I've talked about this before in different videos about ADHD and my treatment plan for inattentive ADHD and I've mentioned this thing called Vivaant water Now before I go any further got to mention the disclaimer that this video is not a Substitute for medical advice and if you are interested In Vivaants then I do encourage you to you know at least talk to your doctor about the possibility Is this something you could do now? I started out on Vivaants water because where I live and there isn't a 20 milligram Vivaants and that's what my doctor wanted me to start on So there's 30 50 and 70 but there are also Vivaants dosages in 20 40 and 60 milligrams So he said well just take 30 milligrams put it in water and discard two-thirds of the water and that will allow you to take 20 and I was like, ah, that's so clever Why can't everybody take Vivaants like this now? There is kind of a bit of a Debate I would say or it seems like there is to me among doctors regarding their sort of feelings about Vivaants water Some doctors you will find are against it. I did see a public psychiatrist Who was very much opposed and that doesn't make sense to me because you know, if you go on to Vivaants comm you will see Vivaants listed or Vivaants water listed as a thing that people can totally do So yeah, again, I'm not really clear exactly why there are some doctors who are just against it But does seem to be the case Now there's not a ton I can say about Vivaants water that I haven't already Said but I thought I would show you guys exactly what I am using for the process and Here we will do a fade to the no gene bottle So here it is No gene, this is what I picked up recently in the US and if you're an American watching this video I'm sure you've heard of no gene as somebody who grew up in Ireland I had actually never heard of this apparently Americans love these things are famous but it's great because now the reason I picked this up is I'm using 50 milligrams of Vivaants and this has Levels all the way up to 1000 milliliters, which is one liter now if you think about the system for that I'm using Now this label needs to be redone because if I was actually taking 100 milligrams to 100 milliliters I may not be here making this video So it's 10 milligrams to 100 But I just did that sort of mostly to warn anybody I don't you know, I don't have roommates or live in college or have brought this out to somewhere where children are but it would strike me as a concern that I wouldn't want to Accidentally drug people and their children, you know So that is that and yeah, this one I liked it because I can do if I'm using that same Vivaans to water, you know formula. Well, I can do 30. I can do 50 milligrams I can do 70 which is the maximum daily dosage for Vivaans and if for some freakish reason my doctor wanted to put me on an even higher dosage than 70 which by the way I have heard that happening some people have gone Above 70 off label, I guess then I saw I kind of have all those options available to me here So yeah, that kind of struck me as useful. So it's just no gene But I do you do want to have Milliliter measures if you're if you're not if you're not a chronic overthinker like me, you can probably get away with the 70 700 milliliter water bottle because you're probably very very unlikely you're going to ever be prescribed more than that Vivaans More than that amount of Vivaans I did like the fact that this one went up to a thousand like some of the ones I saw and By the way, it was super weird to be in a water bottle store. I mean like yeah, I need them So I'm gonna need a water bottle with gradations are every hundred milliliters it's gonna have to be transparent and The last notch is gonna have to say a thousand. I'm not sure what they thought I was doing but Yeah, I did see some that were like went up to 800 and then just said like from here to fill is the top and I Just thought that seemed a bit dubious like where exactly is that top fill level so Basically, if you're trying to pick out a water bottle for water Vivaans or Vivaans water, whatever you want to call it I just encourage you to get a water bottle that like has clear levels so that you can see Exactly what you are taking What else can I say about this so yeah a couple of things how I use this because people did leave me comments here on YouTube asking Can you walk us through the day-to-day Vivaans water life? And I said sure I'd be happy to Number one I always use the same I always use the same What's that word same race same ratio ratio? I always use that 10 to 100 milligram to milliliter ratio um, just so that you know if I some I forget this or I have a kind of just like wedged on my head. That is how I do my Vivaans water um, so to start of every morning I Actually, it's the night before and I'll that'll be my next piece my next nugget of info. Um So yeah, I one really good thing about this um Vivaans water before I mentioned that actually is that You can uh tight trade down On the weekends or a vacation. So that's something really useful That you know, you couldn't do with the uh taking it as a pill Which is you know the conventional mechanism So if I on the weekends wanted to take 30 milligrams, so all I have to do is Drink down too. So I start here at 500 And what I would do is drink to 200 Because each 100 mils of Vivaans is sorry. Yeah, each 100 mils of water is 10 milligrams of Vivaans And and if I wanted to take 20 milligrams of Vivaans, I drink down to 300 mils and um I always leave it um just in case I change my mind and I'll talk about the What my doctor has allowed me to do in a second and so I never throw it out But I always put it there I always leave it there and then at the end of the day, I'll rinse out the bottle Before I'm going to sleep. Um, so that's just you know common hygiene basically, but do that So in terms of what you can do Regarding the the next day thing is um, some people Really struggle with getting going in the morning. I know that for me is like the ground zero of ADHD I get up in the morning And you know, I want to get into my office here and I want to get working. Um, but I My brain is like procrastinating and just having a hard time getting going So what some people will do is they will make the Vivaans um make up the Vivaans water the day before Which is what I do. So I finish with my dosage rinse my bottle Prepare the next day's Vivaans water And when you're doing that again, just really make sure to get all the little bits out And what some people do is they'll keep it next to their bed And uh, some people will either have it first thing in the morning or they will take some Then they'll go back to sleep And set on another alarm clock 40 minutes later. So if you have to get up at seven Set yourself an alarm for six twenty Do your Vivaans and then at seven the Vivaans should be already sort of in your bloodstream a bit And depending on your metabolism and helping you to you know get going with Get going with the travils the the things that you need to do in the day in order to be productive and all that so Let me just go and change something here on my screen levels Uh, so yeah, that is something that a lot of people do and it's a trick that works now Someone else asked me well, what's your dosing regimen? Do you take it like all at once? And what my doctor told me everybody's doctor is a different Person, I guess right and you will find different recommendations between medical professionals Um, what my doc said is that you know take it up to Uh in he said recommend doing two dosages No more than two So that would be let's say 200 mils and 300 mils or 300 mils and 200 mils And then making sure that the Time between dose one and dose two Is never more than four hours and I'll just explain if I can ever figure this out on my other screen I'm trying to like prepare the next screen here in obs and Failing Predigously at that endeavor. I'm trying to get myself and the webcams up on a screen Uh, I think I need to put the screen at the bottom actually Well, I'll keep talking while this goes on um, so what you can do is Do that and then make sure the second dose is not more than four hours after the first dose Now the reason for that the rationale there is that vivants is a long-acting medication and But some people still and I put myself in this category. They feel like it's just not working for For long enough, right? So if that is you and you're finding that you're just not getting enough time out of the medication Then what you can do is Just use this to like extend it a little bit. So if you're taking it for you know those I've just given up on the on what I was trying to do before If you're taking it for that amount of time Um, then you can just have it and um that four hours will extend it a bit now compared to Taking vivants is a pill which I tried a couple of times. Um, I found the water based method so much more Just much much easier on my system. Um And I think a good thing about the water method is that like Unless my doctor and I both are missing something major. There's no way to overdose, right? So if you're prescribed 50 milligrams of vivants That's what goes into the water bottle. There's 50 milligrams and you're not going to somehow take 80 milligrams So you might somehow there is a risk that you will screw up take Do a split dose take it too late or Take on the weekends a smaller dose and then forget that it's medication or not water and accidentally Finish off your water bottle at midnight. Those are all things that could happen But you may be up all night, but um, at least you don't have to worry about exceeding your your daily prescription So I think that's something useful Now in terms of the the 50 milligrams thing, so yeah, basically Having the second dose a little bit later will extend it and in terms of what I find from vivant water. It's that, you know It just hits better when I took the tablet Or the the capsule I guess to be to be technical I found that it just hit too hard and there's two things I found with ADHD meds that you don't want One you don't want that feeling of why this is like this packs a punch Um, which I definitely have gotten um, and the second thing you don't want is to Be in a situation in which you feel like you're on drugs of some nature And that's also something I've encountered when I was starting medications and I think that being able to increase um the daily dosages By 10 milligrams at a time has made those increases so much more manageable Now you could even go up five milligrams using vivant water Which is something even if you lived in a healthcare system with all seven vivant dosages 20 30 40 50 60 and 70 Sorry, that's six um, you couldn't increase by five milligrams because there just isn't that on the market so um, that's another really um good use for the vivant water And again, just be careful to make sure that you stretch out and speak to your doctor. That's my recommendation here I'm not offering medical medical advice because I can't but I if you know you do um, have a good doctor who you like and You're you're finding that that uh either you think your dose could be tiny bit lower uh, so you're between dosages between The dose is in your country. That's where you feel like you should be but you just can't get there through tablets um, you'd like to try this technique of stretching it out a bit um by taking the same dose and splitting it up in water so that the second one is pushed out a couple of hours Um, I can't really think of any other reasons why you might want to try this But those are two pretty good reasons in fact Um, then I encourage you to just ask your doctor and be prepared for a Disagreement to emerge like I find that some doctors, uh, you know Will um really oppose this um other doctors will be fully supportive of this So it does seem to be the case that you just need to sort of Um, either go with your doctor or if you don't think your doctor is being reasonable Um, then find one that's sort of I don't know better better fits Better fits your is not listening to you or whatever you might need to go to a different one Um, so what I'm showing you on this screen now I just also wanted to show you just what label printer I'm using so it's this one The dymo label printer. It's for sure a basic label printer. It's a handheld one So you just put in some batteries and the labels are like pretty Decent. I'm not sure they're actually waterproof, but you get so much tape in a reel that like If it came off just print one off. That's my label there and it's peeling a little bit here um You may as well just print a few labels and put a few in your backpack Um, so if you do this the split dosage, you might find that you do Want to bring your water bottle to the gym or to your office So I think that's another pretty good reason why you should have this Just you know, be aware that if you have this label, then people are going to know you're taking vivants Uh, so if the kind of warning people Um, not to take your medication is uh Is a concern for you, but you want to don't want to let the world know You have ADHD and you're taking vivants then you might you could just say I guess medication um, do not drink or medication 10 milligrams to 100 mils without specifying what medication it is. So again, I know I'm This is like tiny stuff, but these are just all things you might want to think about And yeah, this is a label printer. I use it's very good It was cheap and um, it does the job that I needed to Um So that is that so um, I know this video is contained really I guess just like basic info Um, as I said, I did this sort of because I wanted to play around a bit with my software But uh, I figured I'd just share all these details Because people do seem interested in it. Um, my main thing is just to encourage you to work with your doctor. So Um, definitely don't Uh, get prescribed vivants for one one's daily dosage and then put it in water yourself and Take it like eight times a day up to midnight because A you should stick with what your doctor orders And B that would be terrible because you basically have vivants constantly in your bloodstream Uh, and probably have a hard time ever sleeping and I doubt that's what you're going for Um, so yeah, that's my use of live into water. I do hope this video was useful Uh, if you'd like to get more videos from me about ADHD vivants linux Other topics feel free to subscribe. Thank you guys very much for watching
