can you report back on how whatever you change to using works for you?
cos i’m not too sure about the straterra myself- honestly with 3 different medications on the go at once, and a shoddy excuse for a memory and loudy sense of self-awareness, i can’t work out whats a change and whats the same, whats down to what, and whats a benefit and whats not, very easily at all- i just know that its still a struggle to get going, get stuff done, and not feel wiped out from the effort.
the prozac comment got me thinking- i didn’t gain a bunch of weight on prozac (that i can remember, but honestly its all very blurry) but i do recall feeling very detached emotionally- like i was interacting with the world through a window- i could think very clearly, i just felt very ‘cold’- i didn’t have any emotional attachment to well… anything (which wasn’t good, as a depressive!).
i am starting to seriously consider whether a stimulant would be better for me than straterra (and to get sick of my arse hurting ), but at the same time its very easy to doubt my own judgement, and to start to question whether i’m maybe just a slacker, not trying hard enough, not really dealing with ADHD at all but a world class malingerer, and all that other negative stuff we start to tell ourselves when we’re tired, things are complicated, and we don’t have all the answers- let a clue how to think straight and work out the next move.
so yes- please lemme know.
