Wow, learning a lot from these posts, but the layout sure is confusing. Maybe it’s just me.
I can’t wait til the boys go back to school so I can get to my doc’s to talk about meds.
REPORT ABUSEAugust 19, 2013 at 10:04 pm in reply to: Anyone out there have a traditional, 8-hours a day, 40 hours a week job? #121305I was actually thinking about this recently. I’ve never had a full time job (other than Summer employment) since forever! I’ve often had 2 part time jobs while in university (selling undergarments and teaching a class at the university…definitely not boring lol). Although I hate to admit it, I am easily bored and often daydream. I’ve never been fired, probably because I went out of my way to make up for my shortcomings by doing extra work or never saying no. Now I’m a stay at home mom and a part time photographer…oh and I also help my hubby with his business (a tiny bit). See, still doing different things at the same time!

REPORT ABUSEOk, totally lost track of how long i’ve been on these meds (a month maybe?). I’m not sure wether or not they are working. The one thing I have noticed is reduced procrastination. It’s not gone, but it’s better. I’m having trouble remembering to take the meds though and I have even taken a double dose without realizing (until the nausea set in). I even put pills in a dispenser with the days of the week and forgot about it and went back to the pill bottle instead. Sheesh!
REPORT ABUSELOL, well I’m definitely having hormonal fluctuations! A couple of days ago I spent most of the day crying on and off about almost anything. I would think about something only slightly sad and I would start bawling like it was the end! That’s when I decided to check where I was in my cycle….and voila! I found the explanation.
I’m going to have to try to make sure to get enough sleep, cut back on caffeine and start exercising regurly again to see if it helps some
I haven’t been on the meds long enough to know if it’s working the way it’s supposed to or not.
Thanks
REPORT ABUSEMaybe I should clarify…. PMS seems to decrease the effectiveness of my meds. I do not see an increase in unwanted side effects. I actually don’t have any side effects to complain about anymore
REPORT ABUSEAwe…that just makes me sad Poor guy. Great actor!
REPORT ABUSEStill not sleeping well, lots of tossing and turning. So this morning I switched to taking my meds first thing in the morning. I’m pretty much feeling almost every side effect they mention, but it’s not that bad. Hopefully the indesired effects will die down over time. I’m feeling the dry mouth, the tingling in my face and arms, a slight headache (but that could be due to not having the same amount of coffee as usual) and finally nausea.
My mind is defnitely not racing anymore though.
REPORT ABUSEWow, that felt like the worst night of sleep ever! So much waking up, tossing and turning… Oddly, I feel well rested for once. Go figure. Forgot to put the milk away after pouring it, but I noticed within 5 minutes (instead of 30). Coincidence? maybe.
REPORT ABUSEEven though the effects shouldn’t be this quick, I think I finally know what if feels like to let my mind go blank. I was lying down while trying to get my sons to bed and I noticed my mind wasn’t racing. In fact I think I would have been able to actually meditate and keep my mind in focus!! I could never do this ever!!! Two hours later, I woke up and felt rested. This rarely happens to me!
I will just have to remember not to take my meds to soon in the evening if I feel this groggy when I take them. Hubby was a little upset that I was too tired to cut his hair tonight
Here’s hoping that I was up tomorrow feeling super refreshed
REPORT ABUSEOk, so I had my appointment and I just took my first 40mg pill of the generic form of Strattera less than 2 hours ago. As soon as I took it, I found myself looking up info about it on the forum. Don’t like what i
m reading. Not many positive outcomes. I just hope that maybe those who benefited are too busy catching up on all the projects they

m not worried about the nausea, I could use a bit of weightloss). Im probably feeling tired because of lack of proper sleep, therefore...so far this might actually work to my benefit. I just hope I don
t have the sexual side effects. That`s a deal breakerWow, I just remembered something from when I was applying for a dietetic intership years ago. I had to write a sort of cover letter but it had to be handwritten and on unlined paper!!! I wrote my letter several times and many copies landed in the wastebasket simply because I accidentally mispelled a word. We weren`t allowed to use liquid paper, so for me this was close to an impossible task.
I ended up passing in the letter with one single drop of liquid paper and guess what, they noticed it and brought it up during the interview!!! Now that I know I have ADHD, I don
REPORT ABUSEt feel so bad for failing that task (hey, one mispelled word is pretty good under the circumstances), but I
m upset that they would put us through something so ridiculous!!! I don`t think they do this anymore though…. lucky interns…On the subject of changind subjects, how to I upload a pic? I keep getting an error message even if my pic is the right size!
REPORT ABUSEHahaha! Had another ”moment” last night! Until the last few years, I had never driven much outside the city (fear of getting lost).
Anyway, last night I was asked to take family pics in a town about 40 minutes away. It`s was a fairly easy destination, but I can miss the most obvious exit signs sometimes. So I made it there in time without getting lost (Yay me!). Then, an hour later we were done, but instead of going home right away (it was 9 pm and really dark out), I decided to try and capture the light of the moon reflecting on the water. After a few minutes, fear of being alone at night took over and I gave up on my shot. Still I enjoyed my evening a lot and was smiling and actually getting a little misty eyed thinking about the great family pics I had just taken.
During this time, I was driving. I figured it would be easy to see the exit sign, so my mind drifted…. all of a sudden I`m driving down a narrow road and there are no houses anywhere! I turn around and realize that I had missed the exit and was quite a ways from the town I was in a few minutes ago. I finally get back into town and call my husband.
He told me the exit was near the Tim Horton
s and I laughed. I remembered seeing the Tim Hortons and thinking about wether or not to get some coffee, decided against it and continued on missing the exit sign LOL! So, I got off the phone with hubby, saw the Tim
s not 30seconds away and decided to get a coffee before exiting. This time, I got it rightIt was the first time I could actually laugh at myself without feeling stupid
