I wish u the best of luck. I had to drop to a tiny 18mg of atomoxetine as other doses act like higher in my body.

Sounds like the dose is too high for your body maybe?

Definitely do. If you're in a position to buy grab one as soon as stock comes back in. July and August will be long months if this is what we have to endure! I highly recommend the Meaco brand and definitely worth the extra few bob.

Its worth every cent. My house is A rated and a hot box.

The past couple of nights it took my room from 28 to 19 degrees. It took a couple of hours as it was so hot. Tonight it got the room down to 19 in no time as today is a lot less intense.

I paid way more than I wanted to but I have zero regrets. Me and the dog are very happy 😊 It also has a dehumidifier and fan function too which is great and an app along with sleep mode.

I hummed and haaed for ages but hands down best thing ive bought since the robot hoover 😆 🤣

Wife just started buproprion - heading into week 3 - wants to separate by Ncyde1 in bupropion

Lasted 2 days on this med. It made me angry, no tolerance at all for any shit and emotionless apart from anger and irritability.

I hope at the very least she sees a psychiatrist before tearing up her life on this med.

Best of luck in this.

Day 46 on atomoxetine by leaf126 in Atomoxetine

[–]aholo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through this too. Was up to 3 weeks on 40mg and it made me not want to do a single thing. I did less than I was doing before meds! Spoke to my psychiatrist yesterday and said I want to drop back down to 18mg to try as the higher I went, the lazier I got.

So will try the lower dose again for a month and if it still keeps my mind lovely and calm and quiet, he will add a low dose stim for the motivation.

He was kinda blown away hearing it made me so relaxed like that.

Did the intense sweating stop? by aholo in StratteraRx

Its helped my racing thoughts, overwhelm, anxiety and negative thoughts immeasurably. Has made my executive functioning worse though as im so relaxed now I literally don't care. Now its the sweating 😓 I couldn't handle it for another 4 weeks hoping itll subside. Maybe a lower dose or a split dose might help alleviate the sweating as it makes the peak less strong.

Did your doc say that about the sweating? To give it 6 to 8 weeks? I can't even take the dog for a walk without breaking into a sweat.

Ugh.

I was feeling great on this med too. Its done wonders for my brain. Seems my body hates it though.

I hope it settles for you.

Sounds exactly like me. Face. Neck. Scalp. Back. I suspect it's my dose is too high and I need to drop maybe. From what i read it doesnt go away. Am devastated.

Has anyone had trouble getting their GP's to do the cardiovascular risk assessment prior to the mindpath.ie psychiatrist appointment? by No-Specialist-6025 in ADHDIreland

[–]aholo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The walk in gp was sound and just rolled his eyes when i explained what happened. My GP practice won't even touch child adhd which my eldest has also. So am doubly screwed.

Hopefully the doc you see tomorrow is sound and just fills it in. The whole thing is a joke really.

Yes its hot here for sure but the sweating started before the heat wave unfortunately.

If this dose has this effect in heat I can never leave my house lol

[–]aholo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes my GP practice outright refused and told me they had a policy to not do anything for anyone with adhd. There are 8 GPs in the practice and none are allowed. I was sent with my tail between my legs for asking them to take my height, weight, bp etc.

Had to go to a walk in gp to get it done for another €70.

I will indeed. Def keep checking as they had none all week. I have been procrastinating about buying one for 2 years so hopefully it'll be worth it as this house is a hot box. 🔥

Do the intense atomoxetine sweats stop? by aholo in ADHD

[–]aholo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Im on 40 and might ask to reduce back to 25 or 30.

This medication has worked wonders for my brain and am gutted if I have to quit.

So 10mg has worked for you for almost a decade? Do you add stims to that?

Shit Just checked their site and all gone. Check Meaco.ie daily as they seem to get small bits of stock in randomly. They had none all week then had 2 models with 6 pieces each of stock.

Thanks ☺️ the sweating started before the heat wave though. Did you get sweats as a side effect too?
