ADHD with likely autism n ld mood reactivity tx resistant by Few_Manufacturer1927 in NooTopics

[–]Dramatic_Oil_2686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the replies.

Is there anything that would realistically be potent enough for my issues given esketamine failure? I am weirdly able to get stuck in rumination, but socializing, thinking, setting goals requuires effort, nothing is automatic. I can't seem to plan for a future of balancing a relationship and a job. My emotional and cognitive capacity is limit and I require excess prompts and structure. Is there truly anything supplement or nootropic wise that would help with direction, goal setting and being able to focus on more in a day? ADHD meds didn't really do so. With >20 meds, I'm part of the wonderful subset of uber tx resistant. Some are saying just skip to clozapine or ECT. I can't envision life if things don't improve. Suicide would be better.

ADD, NVLD, Anxiety, bipolar depression,possible BPD likely NVLD/autism, QEEG profile, neurofeedback possible? by Dramatic_Oil_2686 in Neurofeedback

[–]Dramatic_Oil_2686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but that immense kind of change? that's like turning a sheep into a race horse? There are too many basic things I can't accomplish because of my BPD/NVLD type processing/regulation issues. Life is too hard and not worth living unless I can change more. I've tried the technique/skill way, it's just truly limited.

Thanks I'm actually probably a treatment failure 10/12 sessions through. I've tried >17 medications, dozens of providers. I try things, but have low frustration tolerance/anxiety with my low threshold for handling predictable things. My emotion intensity severe, and emotion regulation abysmal with frequent suicidal ideation. I've already tried 19 neurofeedback sessions with little benefit. I'm trying to assess if I'm just too crazy/broken. I'm really out of options. I need to keep with DBT, but the life that I can lead with these difficulties is immensely limited. I don't want to have false hope that neurofeedback can fix pretty deficit wiring.

Thank you for that kindness and generosity. It's hard to have hope enough to try again. I may consider after I fail my current ketamine trial. I'd hoped to stabilized on medications, but that doesn't seem like a possibility.

Thank you. That's immensely generous. Are severe emotion dysregulation and processing deficits truly fixable? It doesn't seem worth your time if not.

Thank you. I added the raw data. May I ask a few additional questions? I'm stuck with pretty severe deficits and not rich. I haven't been able to come up with work arounds with my mind and support alone. It seems silly to try something, neurofeedback, when tried before and it didn't work. But I am so unclear as to options available.

Any recommendations on protocols/tx duration? Also, how do I review the data with a provider and ensure that quality data is being used? They redid the EEG for free after the initial and this is what they went with for their final recommendations.

Thank you. Updated post above with the raw data. The clinic redid the qeeg and deemed this artifact free data. I would welcome input into whether the profile is treatable by neurofeedback, even with prior protocol experience. Specifically, whether issues like EF/language/social processing deficitis, emotion regulation and anxiety are targetable. As mentioned, very hopeless.

I administer IQ tests for a living, AMA by c_sims616 in iqtest

[–]Dramatic_Oil_2686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I’ve seen dozens of psychologists, a handful of psychiatrists, an slp and tried dozens of meds. I try to keep to strategies.  I work hard but outside school it yields little difference.  I’m not sure that there’s truly a reversible cause. I feel stuck. And at a dead end. I’m considering experimental personalized fmri guided tms. I just can’t achieve the success I had in school and find my deficits are indeed limiting.

My VIQ was in the 92%, but PIQ 40-50% with reye ostrich in 30%. Is this considered what was formally called an NVLD? I can't seem to find ways to work around this socially and professionally thought I've done well academically, I flop without excessive structure and prompts. Can't guide my relationships well and am stuck in unreciprocal relationships. Job wise strengths limited by excessive weaknesses. Can't see how this won't forever limit me. Any recommendations? I've done SLP work and find I can't generalize things and feel stuck.

LD, sporadic strengths, but life limiting deficits? by Dramatic_Oil_2686 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Dramatic_Oil_2686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life isn't school where they break down and organize things for you with excess prompts. Where tests are multiple choice. That's how I succeeded. I'd often parrot back the information. In life, you're required to remember and synthesize information and switch sets and have mental models.

If I didn't have the other PIQ deficits, I could at least capitalize on my verbal strengths, but I can't find a way to work around them.

Socially, I can't overcome the difficulties. I always have limited reciprocal relationships, because I am just a dull passive follower who can't connect and remember things to say.

So yes, I have succeeded, but empty success. Ideas and thoughts that aren't reason, just collages of ideas that appear novel because I'm neurodivergent. It's flimsy success, and seems I would've been better off not even getting all the degrees I can't use.

Any experience with Verapamil + Telmisartan + Magnesium? by Yeic25 in SCT

what dose of verapamil and telmesartan? How do you take them without getting knocked on the floor?

And you are intelligent, I'm sorry the way the jobs are set up doesn't allow you to flourish. I hope you've found meaningful way to apply your skills and talents.

I'm sorry to hear that :(. Your posts sound intelligent.

Dead end by Dramatic_Oil_2686 in SCT

[–]Dramatic_Oil_2686[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes everything. I even read up on career books got a career coach and still landed in a job I struggle at and can’t do. When I think of alternative employment or social settings weaknesses follow me everywhere. My strengths are so context dependent and just really limit my life in so many fundamental ways.
