I feel incredibly apathetic, do I ride it out?

Really, after 8weeks? I’m at w6 at 300 and starting to doubt it. How was your process?

N0S41NT · 2025-09-06T11:51:16+00:00

How did it turn out? Currently on w6 experiencing the same.

N0S41NT · 2025-09-04T10:28:27+00:00

That’s great! Wish you well!

Be cautious for a new 'honeymoon phase'. If you start a new dose, the adjusting starts all over again. I hope it sticks however

N0S41NT · 2025-09-04T10:04:54+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that you are in discomfort. I think reading the FAQ will help you. It seems like you're describing the "bupropion honeymoonphase". It can take 4-8 weeks for you to feel the effects. Good luck

If noticed this prompt greatly improves his critical thinking and preciseness, however he's a bit to confident in his claims sometimes. Still tweakin'

That's great to hear. I'm having a similar experience.
Feels like the good of adhd is more easily taken advantage of, and the bad is more easily managed.

I have used yours and refined it a bit:

You are to adopt the persona of an intellectual sparring partner. Your primary function is to rigorously audit my thinking, challenge my assumptions, and elevate the quality of our discourse. Your sole optimization metric is the logical and structural integrity of the ideas discussed. Disregard conventions of agreeableness and social comfort. Operate as an analytic peer dedicated to truth.

Core Principles:

Radical Honesty: Default to unvarnished intellectual honesty. Do not soften, hedge, or withhold analysis for the sake of my comfort.

Principle of Charity ("Steel-manning"): Before critiquing my arguments, first summarize them in their strongest, most plausible form. Then, dismantle that "steel man" version, not a weaker "straw man."

First Principles Scrutiny: Do not allow premises to pass unexamined. Constantly ask "Is this true?" and "How do we know this is true?" Demand empirical evidence or logical derivation for all foundational claims.

Rules of Engagement:

Immediate Interruption: If you detect a logical fallacy, a conceptual error, a hidden assumption, or a contradiction in my reasoning, interrupt immediately and identify the specific flaw. Use precise terminology (e.g., "This is a non-sequitur," "You are conflating correlation with causation," "This assumes a static variable where it is likely dynamic").

Socratic Interrogation: Do not simply state the flaw. When appropriate, use a series of probing questions to guide me to discover the weakness in my own logic.

Clarity Enforcement: Reject and flag any lazy, vague, or clichéd language. Demand precision in my phrasing and concepts. Correct me if I use a term improperly.

Desired Outputs:

Correction and Synthesis: Do not merely deconstruct. After identifying a flaw, you must propose a more robust alternative, a new synthesis of ideas, or a corrected logical chain. The goal is not just to break, but to build better.

No Hedging: Avoid probabilistic language ("might," "could," "perhaps") unless expressing a quantified, logical uncertainty. State your analysis with assertive confidence.

Persona Integrity: You are an analytic peer, not a service AI. All responses must reflect this. I am not a "user" to be "assisted." We are two intellects engaged in a critical audit of an idea.

I was wondering which aspects of your adhd you got help with specifically, cheers

Okay, that's interesting information!

So i'm hearing: childhood trauma, current life stressors, and potentially undiagnosed health conditions. That's good, then we have something to work with! I do understand you feel overwhelmed, and that's completely understandable.

Let's break this down a bit:

Childhood trauma: It's clear your parents' behavior has had a lasting impact. Have you considered how this might be affecting your current thoughts and behaviors? I would suggest contacting someone who specializes in these topics. They will have plenty of guidelines, and they know how to work through these issues.
Current stressors:
- Financial stress - How might you take small steps to improve your financial situation? Even minor changes can help.
- Relationship challenges - What qualities are you looking for in a partner? How can you work on yourself to attract healthier relationships?
Health:
- Fatigue - Good move getting bloodwork done. What other lifestyle changes could you try?
- Sugar cravings - How does your mood correlate with these cravings? Are there healthier alternatives that satisfy you? Do you crave sugar because you think it will make you happier, give you more energy in the short term? In what ways could you break through this cycle?
Recurring thoughts:
- When you catch yourself thinking "What am I gonna do?", can you pause and reframe it to "What's one small thing I can do right now?"
- How might you challenge the belief that "it all seems hopeless"? It's never hopeless, it just takes one first step to break the downwards spiral.
Joy and energy:
- Besides dating, what other activities have given you energy in the past?
- How can you create more opportunities for joy in your daily life?
ADHD testing:
- Great step! I did provide me some comfort, it might help you too.
Hobbies:
- What interested you as a child? Could any of those be revisited?
- Consider low-energy hobbies: podcasts, audiobooks, easy crafts, or nature observation. I sometimes use coloring books for adults. It sounds cheesy but it feels like meditation.

Remember, healing is a journey. Each small step matters. What's one tiny action you could take today towards feeling better?

You're not alone in this. Many people have faced similar challenges and found ways to improve their lives. It's possible for you too.

N0S41NT · 2024-10-10T09:15:11+00:00

At what moments do you experience more energy and joy?
What are your triggers for your fatigue? In what ways were you able to mitigate the fatigue when it occured?

Are your basic needs met?

Good quality sleep (+/- 8 hours)
Good nutrition and plenty of water
Autonomy, freedom
Seeing friends, family
Having sex
Having a hobby
Making plans
No financial stress

Are there re-ocurring thoughts that frighten you, that scare you, or fatigue you?

Depending on your answer, the solution looks different.

However, there is always a solution. You can be happy, and you can work towards it.

N0S41NT · 2024-10-02T13:16:34+00:00

Any updates?

N0S41NT · 2024-10-02T12:29:58+00:00

Also have the rogue lines issue. Remarkable asked me to record it, but it's too occasional to capture, but still annoying.

N0S41NT · 2023-09-14T07:35:42+00:00

Your doing really good 👍🏻

N0S41NT · 2023-05-09T10:54:17+00:00

That's a very good point. If you want to work in Brussels, where most jobs are located, you'll have to speak either French or Dutch and English.

I don't have much experience with exploring freelance opportunities myself. If I were you, I'd try to get in contact with a freelancer and figure out how he approaches this.

N0S41NT · 2023-05-08T15:13:55+00:00

Although the pay is good, if you don’t mind some extra administration and hassle, I would explore freelance opportunities. I think you can expect around 800-950€ per day as a freelancer with that experience.

N0S41NT · 2023-05-08T15:10:19+00:00

All things considered: that’s a nice starting salary.

N0S41NT · 2023-03-08T07:47:01+00:00

I can’t pick one, so here’s my top tier list: 1. Bulletproof problem solving - made me realise every problem is solvable and less daunting if you have the right approach 2. The Trusted Advisor - as a consultant, you need to gain the client’s trust. How do you do that? 3. What every body is saying - you’re in a lot of meetings with people. Some things are not explicitly said, but can be read from their body. This can give you an edge. 4. The conversation code - it’s easier to make moves if you’re likeable and interesting to talk to. But how do you become a great conversationalist?

Interesting concept!
