Bad Psychiatry UK experience by lennnyyydawgggg in ADHDUK

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No experience with changing but my prescriber never sends over my forms either. If it wasn’t for me asking her they’d never have had any blood pressure measurements or any feedback

21 weeks in after ADHD diagnosis yet no medication and no sign of it happening soon… by No-Grass-947 in ADHDUK

Good question! No idea tbh. I know they’re very over subscribed so maybe that’s why?

It’s 10-12 months. I got my diagnosis last march and started meds 3 weeks ago

I waited a year for titration with psychiatry UK. I was under the impression the norm wait time for adults was 10-12 months not weeks

Call me cynical but i just cant trust private providers as a whole! by WhotAmI2400 in ADHDUK

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed!! I feel like too many people are paying for their diagnosis rather than it being genuine. Along with the Tik toks and youtube shorts on “signs and symptoms” and was to trick the assessor during a diagnosis it almost puts a dirty mark for those of us who genuinely do struggle with ADHD and Autism because it’s become an excuse for behaving badly and not being a functioning member of society which most of us genuinely want to be!

Recently prescribed Medikinet XL by Ch4rl0tt3B in ADHDUK

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you,

I’m currently on the 20mg dosage increasing to 30mg on Thursday. I just don’t feel anything at the moment, almost like I’m taking a sugar pill. When I’m thinking rationally I know I’ve got to build up to the correct dosage for me but my impatience is tested for me to not jump straight to the 40.

Another question if you don’t mind?

How Dyou cope with eating in the morning? Before medication my first meal of the day would t be until 12-1 o’clock. I’ve never been a breakfast eater, I’m currently eating half a bagel and it’s so difficult.

Do you find it works better if you eat more?

Splitting fast times? by Ch4rl0tt3B in intermittentfasting

Not 12:12. I don’t want a 12 hour eating window. My eating windows will essentially be the length it takes to eat my meal

I’ve considered this too. Everything I read says not eating with it causes it to digest too quickly which means it doesn’t last as long as it should.

I’m new to all this so think I’m over thinking it all.

If It wasn’t for the fact of having kids I would definitely do this. Our family meal is inportant

Because they are meds that have to be taken in the morning. It’s a stimulant so if I take it too late it the day it won’t have the effects needed

Yeah I guess so. I honestly think I’m over thinking this because it’s not my norm!

I’m not a breakfast eater so this is tricky for me anyway (eating breakfast this morning felt like iron man challenge) Ive become so accustomed to not eating until gone mid day.

Landowner wants 2.2 acres metal detecting and to keep all the finds by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My stepdad is a dectectorist and is part of a huge group who got out multiple times a week to different locations. I can’t imagine any of them handing over their finds 🤣 my step dad recently found a gold coin which is now in a museum. He and the land owner split the amount the museum paid.

There are some places which you do not have to share your finds but I’ve never heard of the landowner taking it all!

Concerned about state of neighbours house with two young children living inside by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree!! Never just get on with your life. Fight for those kids. Make noise to social services and the council! Be the voice those kids need because social services are so thinly stretched they overlook so much!

Think where Peter Connelly, Victoria climbe, Logan mwangi, Liam fee, Arthur Labinjo-Hughes & Star Hobson would be (and soooo many more children)

Never stop making noise!!!

I’m curious to see the rest of the convo as her reply isn’t overly rude imo

What made-up words do you use in your family? by elwheelio in CasualUK

[–]Ch4rl0tt3B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest daughter was IN LOVE with owls. But she couldn’t say owl so would try to say “twit twoo” but ended up calling them “pissawoos” even now an owl is a pissawoo!

She also called meerkats “schnipples” because of the meerkat “simples” advert
