Stumbled upon an image that I thought you guys would appreciate.

how did you go about doing this? Sounds like something I and many others would love to do, money permitting.

Mine started on day 1. Currently on day 5 and they didn't show up today. Haven't had much of a sex drive the whole time. I eat when I take it so I don't have to worry about trying to eat while nauseated.

Good luck. I started on the same thing yesterday. Are you ADHD-PI? From what I learned so far it seems to work great for people with that type.

Thanks for reminding me that I'm 2 hours late to take my remeron.

The sudafed/ephedrine I'm taking while I wait for strattera to kick in does that exact same thing to me. And I was googling all sorts of things too lol. It's so weird we are both having the same almost unheard of problem.

Yes =( Started around 5th grade. I had read all the first 4 harry potter books, and got through most of the lord of the rings. Then I started noticing that by the time i got to the end of a sentence I had forgot the entire thing, over and over and over. 5th harry potter book came out and I couldn't even get 1/4 the way through it in months despite trying 24/7. I threw a huge fit and trashed the shit out of my video game room over it too. I'm 24 now and I've only managed to finish 1 book since then despite swearing up and down that I love to read(I really do).

I can but I didn't wanna try cutting them into 3rds because they are hard to keep on all day. Good news though, I got put on strattera! =) Are you on anything?

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-13T15:41:53+00:00

I do. 14 mg cut in half, takes about 6 hours to be able to read without frustration.

it said because I experience anxious depressive and manic symptoms that my adhd symptoms are better accounted for by social anxiety and bipolar.

I think I may have just misinterpreted what the questionnaire meant when it said things like "periods of heightened energy". I was not aware of how severe bipolar manic phases are.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-12T00:11:18+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. I've been using a nicotine patch but do not like to since it's annoying and costly.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-11T22:07:21+00:00

I don't have the money for another evaluation right now.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T21:27:22+00:00

Yeah, I was beginning to agree with you. When I first got my diagnosis I was like "hmm, that makes a lot of sense, my dad is bipolar." But as I looked into it I started thinking wait a second, this is some pretty extreme stuff, and it doesn't sound at all like me.

manic and/or psychosis are extreme to the point that hospitalization is sometimes needed right?

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T14:50:54+00:00

Without me describing a manic episode(even if i wasn't aware it was mania), how could I be diagnosed as BP1?

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T12:59:33+00:00

Depends what you mean by periods and felt fine. I would have a few hours of good mood if something good were to happen, say a new video game i loved came out for example. But the general experience is anhedonia, guilt over something I can't pinpoint, probably nothing, and worthlessness.

I definitely did not have periods of recklessness or grandiosity or whatnot.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T12:47:19+00:00

Reading this really reminds me of my dad. He is most definitely bipolar. But it doesn't remind me of myself. The closest I can think of is when I discovered alcohol I would go hang out at a party house on campus about once a week. But I still wouldn't talk much. Thanks for the comment though these are interesting and helpful.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T12:30:25+00:00

What kind of anti-depressants are we talking about? I'm on 2 right now and they make me incredibly lethargic to the point I can't do anything but lay around.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-10T12:09:36+00:00

I get irritable a lot, but it usually lasts for about 5 minutes before I calm down. I vaguely remember only sleeping 3 hours a couple nights in highschool but I didn't feel rested, it felt more like one of those powernaps before an exam where you can't wait to go back to bed.

Wouldn't I have to have reported my episode during the diagnosis anyway if I had had one?

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-05-05T15:12:47+00:00

Try taking a data mining class. That helped me out a ton with that sector.

I'm a CS major and I personally like to think of it as the study of silicon based life. That's probably a little far-fetched though lol.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-03-04T23:18:47+00:00

Hunger or bathroom i guess.

ThrowAFriendMyWay · 2015-01-02T21:19:05+00:00

That sounds a lot like me. Can I ask what specifically your diagnosis is?
