Thanks everyone for your feedback, it’s been a real eye opener. Day one gone of the double dose now, and I can only say it felt like I drank lots of coffee. (I only drink decaf, for anxiety and jaw grinding reasons.)
However, I had energy, I got ZERO work done today. :-(
I was hoping it would help, but it just stimulated my thoughts and curiosities even more. So I just browsed and read all day. Still jumping from random task to random task, not staying in one place.
Maybe it is just a bad habit / lack of drive / no willpower / lack of self discipline issue. :-(
Thanks for the reply, that’s what I can see online as well. Very frustrating, as I have a filter list I use on other sites and my phone and browsers. Would have been a great help instead of doing it one by one. :-/
I generally truly love using @firefox This new feature of intrusively suggesting to translate shit is beyond me though. Just shove off with that crap and ask me to opt IN rather than make me search how to opt out.
That popup is intrusive and I hate firefox for it.
Haha what a nice and wholesome reply. Thanks so much! Funnily enough I used to play acoustic / electric / bass guitar for about 10 years or more, and then just lost it completely…
Thanks so much for sharing, your support motivates me to get it checked out. I just don’t have the patience (no pun intended) with the doctors and trying all the different meds. Been on 2 ADHD meds that didn’t work, as well as on my 5 type of antidepressant / anxiety meds. :-/
Thanks so much, will have a look. Just so careful nowadays with so many self-diagnosed people labelling themselves as ADHD / autistic / AuDHD (new??) and wearing it like a badge or personality upgrade. I don’t want the labels or anything, just find the source of my problems. :-(
Thank you every one for your extremely kind and well thought out posts. I apologise for replying so late, but the responses were so many and so well written, I (ironically?) got overwhelmed and froze up.
I’m sorry if i didn’t reply to everyone’s posts, but your kindness and willingness to support, explain and uphold as a community is truly heart warming.
So this post will be saved for all the golden nuggets that need to be looked into and read up on further.
Thanks again, so much, to all of you. I have the details of some psychiatrists, and will establish contact to take this further.
Quick update since I’ve posted this here: I saw someone and I’ve been given concerta on a medium dose, as to see whether it helps. I know some friends and family that say only vivance helped them, but it’s way out of my price range. Even this concerta generic is already 2/3 of the vivance price.
On day 2 of concerta, and I don’t feel much, despite it being one of the “instant kick-in slower release” meds out there.
Yesterday, the first day, did feel like my thoughts weren’t so rapid, perhaps slower. But the biggest thing was that I felt like my thoughts weren’t shooting out in 360 degrees all the time, like chaotic. It felt more like they were more together, or focused, like a drain pipe going forwards from my head, not frazzled and static like before.
How do I know if the meds are working?
Hi everyone, Years ago I was on a Ritalin generic, and it ended up just being like strapping a jet engine to a bicycle: couldn’t focus at all....
Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?
For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular....
Memmy crashes a lot
It’s crashed about 7 times in the last 30 minutes, whilst browsing the home page…?
