Robbo, that might be the single best piece of advice. Sometimes it’s easy to beat around the bush, but most of the time it is best to look at it in black and white terms like that.

Also, I’m seeing a Nurse Practitioner at the Psych group and she is great. I actually talked to my doctor and he made the comment that if the medicine continues to “fade out”, then it’s likely that I’m not ADHD. I’m not sure I agree with that, but he did suggest that I have the Psych group take over my care on this issue because they are so much more familiar with it. Which is precisely what I did. The Nurse Practitioner didn’t seem see any red flags about the meds not working suddenly, she just suggested trying something different and also reminded me that it can take awhile to find the right med and dose for me.

The bad week last week continued on to this week, and I’m having a really difficult time “breathing” *lol* And most of the things I get so worked up about are really pretty trivial. Lucky for me, tomorrow is my last day, then I get a 4 vacation.

Munchkin – I have put the Ari Tuckman book on my wish list. I’ll be purchasing it at first opportunity. Thanks for mentioning it.

I’m sorry this post is so…well…ADHD-ish. I’m just jumping from thought to thought. The NP is having me try Vyvanse, she said she has several patients on it and it works very good for them. Perhaps it’ll be better for me than the Concerta was. If not, she’ll put me back on the concerta with a higher dose. She is also changing my anti-depressant from Lexapro to Effexor, which stimulates the Norepinephrine and can give an extra little bump on the ADHD front.

I also plan to invest in a hour-by-hour day planner. That seems to help keep me on task when I have a visual like that. In the meantime, I’m going to try to take several deep breaths before I slap the 3rd year Residents in the face. *haha*

Thanks for the support guys! It helps knowing that people can understand what I’m going through.
