Carrie, you changed your picture again! Very cool!
I have had a very interesting experience this week. I was very depressed. I was crying all the time. My nose got so stuffy my friend offered some Sudafed. I took it, drank coffee, ingested some second hand smoke and all of a sudden I felt wonderful. I called my lawyer, found out what to do and did it without hesitation. This experience makes me want to buy a bunch of Sudafed and get some nicotine patches (I refuse to smoke) and drink a lot of coffee so I can feel better. I feel better then when I was on Welbutrin. I feel better than I have for years. This is very weird. Sudafed alone made me feel a little better, I drink caffeine every day, and I am only occasionally around smokers and I just find the smoke irritating by itself.
I have read on this site about the dangers of self-medication. The only other time I ever remember feeling good on any kind of medication was at least 10-15 years ago when I was prescribed two different medications that were not supposed to be taken together. When I told the doctor how good I was feeling and how much energy I had they said no wonder and would not give me more. I was upset at the time and went back to my lower energy state. I wish I could remember which meds they were.
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there an ADD med equal to this combination? What’s the harm in doing this combination every day? I don’t want to go back to the way I was earlier this week. Before I took my last Sudafed this morning, I started feeling bad again so I took it with my coffee. I was already in the cloud of smoke and then I felt much better.
