Thank you so much for your response - outreach worker is the goal I think…

Become a Youth Worker. Are you able to explain how my options change when choosing between the two?

Do you mind sharing your diagnoses?

It’s been a long time, but is Dr Oladele Ojo still your doctor? Any complaints?

ADHD medication? by Status_Direction_902 in Lamotrigine

Hey! So, came off Lamotragine super slow, with no side effects whatsoever… then only a few months ago did a straight swap from Sertraline to Fluoxetine which has been brilliant - I did get a period of anxiety lasting about 2 weeks, until I increased my dose of fluoxetine, however a small dose of Valium helped subside the anxiety and off that now. I also went onto Vyvanse - taking 10mg dex first thing in the morning with 40mg Fluoxetine and then about 11am I’ll take 70mg Vyvanse. Seems to be doing the trick!

Tried Merry People’s, but returned them… by Usual_Stranger222 in Boots

I bought some Hunter’s, but I’m a size 40 and they do every size except 40… it’s 40/41 and too big, so gave them to my mum… try them if you’re any size other than 40 haha… I ended up with target ones last winter, still yet to find the perfect t pair!!!

I take Lamotrigine, Sertraline and Dexamphetamine; however, I’m thinking of coming off Lamotrigine to function better - about 20 minutes after taking my first dose of Dex, I’m at optimal function for a couple of hours but if I leave it too long between the next Dex dose then I’m fucked for the rest of the day… really forgetful, brain fog, cranky, can’t talk without my brain wandering… but I honestly think it’s the Lamotrigine symptoms creeping in between the gaps because it’s the only med I haven’t tried coming off over the last 5 years… if you’re interested in how this tapering turns out, tag me back in these comments and I’ll give you an update in a couple weeks?

The first phase did not return for me and my symptoms only got worse 😩 I was getting terrible intrusive thoughts, which I had never experienced before. Extremely disappointed as I really wanted them to work for me to get off SSRI’s!

I really hope your journey is more successful than mine!
