    I was complaining the Concerta was making me crabby…lol

    I didn’t know if I was just frustrated with people (or myself – couldn’t be me!)  becasue I was too focused or what….

    It’s fairly new apparently, and you cannot get it in a pharmacy, he had to fax the request to the drug company who then dispensed it to a pharmacy in Markham and then I received it by Canada Post.

    Today is my first day, not sure if I will notice anything but will try to aware 🙂

    I will keep you all posted!

    I stopped.  I just returned from the GP visit.  The GP I saw is not my regular doctor, I saw someone else where I work.  My GP does not believe in ADHD and does not know I have been diagnosed and therefore does not know I am on am meds to treat it.  Bad I know but I have to take this into my own hands….fortunately my pharmasist is brilliant and I trust him, he is aware of all my meds so I am not concerned about mixing medications.  Should my doctor ever need to know about my ADHD I will tell her at that time, but for now I do not see any reason to justify myself and the meds I take.

    The GP visit….

    Apparently it takes 2.5 dys to be Concerta “free” so I still have 1.5 days until my body is clean.  I have to take my BP several times a day for the next 4 days then call my regular GP next week if it is still high.  This GP is wondering if my BP will return to normal levels once there is no trace of Concerta left in my system.  Good plan.  Hopefully this is the case and I don’t have to go back on BP meds.  I was once on them…then the cardiologist weened me off as it got to low…guessing the weight loss from the loss of appitite from the Concerta…lol

    Anyway…..no adhd meds for me right  now and I am not happy about that at all.  I think I may call the pharmacy and have them call my ADHD doc and get a 30 day supply of Strattera.  I dont see him until the end of October and I cannot wait that long for a new med….

    Yea I know…sorry, it was a bit long, but it was my initial post and now I won’t have to re-post any of those paragraphs becasue I already let them loose here….:) and now you know who I am…realivively speaking 🙂

    Don’t worry I am not offended…thanks for the compliement about my paragraphs, it’s something I make sure I do to create interest…I once had (key word HAD) a friend who would send me email messages that were essays long and in one paragraph…..yuck!  That was brutal, and so obvious there shuld have been some line breaks….any way we wont get into that today 🙂

    So I think my next step is to identify what my problem is with my lotto words…maybe it’s anxiety and self esteem….that would be my first guess then I can seek out some help/tools to help me.

    I have some ideas where to look but if any of you can offer suggestions I’m all ears…

    Also, I think I need to hook hubby up to some information about dealing with people with ADHD.  I often find myself coming to my sons defence because my husband doesn’t know how to speak to him….Josh is so sensitive, and sometimes my husband does not practice this when he is communicating with Josh.  Of course he needs it for dealing with me too  🙂

    Blackdog please feel free to post more on my orginal post….

    kc5jck….looking forward to future conversations with people like me 🙂

    jojosephine…I messaged you about a group, thank you 🙂  I hate it when my dh reminds me to make sure I give my son his meds!  Makes me feel like a kid.  Your first paragraph…I could have wrote.  wow.   My husband irritates me ….I don’t like to say that but it’s true.  One thing he does that tops my list is this…..actually I will give you the example that happened last week…I had to work late, I started at 8:30 AM and worked until 7:00pm, I told him I would PROBABLY work until 7:30 then I will stop and pick up meatballs (specialty store) then head home ( I work 30 minutes from home – small town with limited food/clothing/fast food selection so we plan out trips so we don’t have to drive back and forth for the thngs we need)  I left work at 7 went and bought meat balls then I remembered we needed hamburg from Costco, so I stopped there and picked up a few things as it is difficult to fit all these chores.  I got home at 9 ish and he flipped out…you should have been home at 8:15, then proceeds to plan out where I should have been in 15 minute intervals….in order to be home at 8:15.   yea.  I was real impressed.  you think I was out at a bar drinking or trying to avoid my family.  I was running around like an idiot to pick up all the things we needed …kids needed stuff for school, we needed food items…etc.

    Not happy.

    He needs to be educated on how to handle me and our son …if you can recomend any good reading for him I’d love it 🙂
