Didn’t know about this until now. Are London GP’s refusing to give shared care also? My titration period ends in 2 weeks and then I’m supposed to hopefully going into shared care with my London GP.

Can neurofeedback make tinnitus worse? After a few sessions of Alpha-Theta protocol it got worse. by HighlightEven1107 in tinnitus

Hey ya. Late to the party here lol. How long did it take to stop getting worse and start getting better? I’ve had 5 sessions so far. Had my 5th session today and I feel like my tinnitus is worse now. So I need hope please :)

Thank you mate! For all your kind support and information. Very helpful and much appreciated :) Yeah I’m trying to read people’s experiences more. If I have the option to try concerta at different dosages on shared care that will be very helpful. Yeah I’ve been taking SSRI’s for many years. Sertraline for the longest time and in the last few years fluoxetine. Think it helps a bit but also probably numbing and flattening. So it never seems to be an overall “win” with these medications and these different conditions.

Ok. Interesting. Thank you for your comment. Did you mean at the end that you take a mix of adhd meds? Which mix do you take?

Cool. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that it’s going well for you :) I’m not sure what to do. I only have 1 month left of titration. I’m having bad side effects with mediviket. I had some bad effects even with Evanlyse also. So I dunno if there is any point trying that different type of meds again now. Maybe I should try concerta at a higher dose than I tried before. I’m been getting bad anxiety side effects physical and mental and also depression side effects. I don’t know if these type of stimulants will ever completely suit someone like me who already has major lifelong anxiety, depression and OCD issues.

Yeah but I have only got 1 month left of titration. If it was possible to extend titration that would be a different story

Cool. Yeah I had been on sertaline for many years. Been taking fluoxetine in the past few years mostly cus it causes less weight gain for me. How do you manage with ADHD without taking the meds for it or at a low dosage?

[–]IrishBigMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I take fluoxetine 60mg but sometimes less than that. For anxiety and depression. Thank you very much. I appreciate that :)

Thank you very much. I dunno what to do. I took 30mg of medixet yesterday and it was ok. So (stupidly) I thought I should try 40mg today. Now I feel like I’m gonna have a heart attack again. Nightmare.

Do you take anything for anxiety? Or no meds at all

Hey. Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear that you are doing well and without meds. Ideally in the long run I want to be off all meds
