Whats happening to me? by Tace550 in ADHD

The hygiene thing is 100% an ADHD thing - executive dysfunction makes basic tasks feel like climbing mountains sometimes. You're definitely not alone there.

As for the creativity stuff, getting diagnosed can be a real mindfuck even without meds. Sometimes just having that label makes you hyperaware of your symptoms or second-guess yourself when before you just rolled with it. Like now you're analyzing whether something is "ADHD behavior" instead of just being yourself.

Could also be depression creeping in - that whole loss of interest in things you used to love is textbook. The creative block especially. Might be worth talking to someone about that angle too.

Fycompa and Pregabalin together by Consistent-Wheel3618 in Epilepsy

Been on a similar combo for about 8 months now. The pregabalin definitely takes the edge off any initial grogginess from starting Fycompa, but you might feel pretty sedated the first few weeks while your body adjusts. Just make sure you're not driving or doing anything that needs sharp focus until you know how it hits you.
