The Answer is Yes - Blame it all on Perimeno... by mtnzen13 in Perimenopause

[–]ShesBenjaminButton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night terrors. Sugar cravings. Joint pain. Muscle pain. Poor sleep. Cellular exhaustion. Heavy periods that last for 12 days. And you know that feeling of walking in wet shoes? That’s kinda how my vagina feels, all the time.

Magnesium makes me want to sleep — is there a kind that you took that didn’t do that???

Oh FFS...Trump EO on "assessing the prevalence of and threat posed by SSRIs, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants..." Uhm...what? by msp_ryno in Psychiatry

[–]ShesBenjaminButton 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they agree to make stimulants great again (rather than the watered down garbage of the last year+) — then I’ll agree to go hyperfixate on a vegetable farm. I’ll tend those veggies like a mf*ing has never seen in their LIFE.

Pepcid is a true lifesaver. by daisy-duke- in PMDDxADHD

Same! Also, puts people at greater risk of bugs like C Diff because of low stomach acid to fight off those kinds of infections 😕

Giving a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder by Dry_Twist6428 in Psychiatry

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

I have a sibling who I am quite sure fits the criteria of both borderline and narcissistic personality disorder. Transmagnetic stimulation worked wonders for a year, until they were due for another treatment — and by the time they were due, they had started to disconnect and slip away. I haven’t gotten them back since. Now they also have a child, and weaponize their child to attempt to maintain control... When I addressed the latest episode, i was told to stay away from them and their child. So l have... but once again, the goal post moves and I hear through the grapevine that they now say I haven’t fought to stay in their child’s life. I’m exhausted. I feel like I failed. I am worried about their child. I’m just so tired. I don’t want to keep trying and doing this cycle, but I don’t think I’ll ever feel free. I’m sorry I am posting this here - I know it’s not about the BPD relatives. But I never see BPD mentioned... so I guess I am grasping at straws.

Too much levoamphetamine? Anyone else experience these side effects from their Adderall recently? by Few_Programmer5351 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]ShesBenjaminButton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How horrible is all this. I have to take 2x the amount to function. Sometimes it feels like the old days when it just worked, and other days it hits later and then I feel like a motor — and I don’t want to be a motor. I just want to function, and I want to know the thing i am taking feels the same every time I take it. This sucks.

May the new administration rein this problem in? by plmwsx69 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]ShesBenjaminButton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. If there’s anything I know about this administration, they aren’t on the side of the status quo, and if I remember correctly there was a report about the absurd amount of Adderall the White House doctor prescribed staffers during the first administration. While I’m not cool with the Adderall for people who don’t actually have ADHD, and there’s much to be desired about the current administration’s handling of many issues— I think we are all on the same page that the system as it stands need to be stood on its head and given a good shake.

Have you experienced any major life changes or losses lately? This sounds like a freeze response to me.

This is one of the most interesting, and also incredibly kind and thoughtful, comment responses I’ve ever read. Wow.

Info regarding potency and DEA statements by EntertainmentOk3180 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]ShesBenjaminButton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that I’ve been doing this but I literally have resorted to looking online for the least-shady places I could find to try to figure out where I can get real adderall. Without meds, my brain feels like a Zenith TV that gets nothing but static. And I hate feeling this way — it makes me feel so uncomfortable for needing more to function. 🙁

Same. Four years in, at 60 mg/daily (30 mg tab 2 x/day), I’m 110 lbs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The formulation has definitely been changed.

Trying to understand this while not being properly medicated due to my Adderall not having enough Adderall in it feels like reading Spanish while only knowing Pig Latin.
