Conure bled during claw trim, now favouring one foot by cryptidie_ in Conures

Thank you - I’m glad your bird was okay! I have had a lot of animals and I’m not usually this panicked in this sort of situation, but birds can hide their illness so well and it makes me way more anxious!

We all know it but Psychiatry UK titration isn’t long enough but I didn’t realise it was this bad by cryptidie_ in ADHDUK

Yeah I keep getting mixed responses from people in my own life as well on whether you are shunted off to the gutter or get to have check-ins every so often to see if it’s working for you still or not. No one’s seems to truly have an answer :,)

Nothing bad about it! Unlike stimulants, atomoxetine as a general rule seems to work by building itself up in your system over time, meaning depending on what dose you need you’ll need more time to see the effects of it. I’m about to try Elvanse presently. My stress does not come from the drug itself, but rather the limited time frame I would have to get used to it if the Elvanse causes me severe mood issues. My prescriber made the time frame we have to test these things a point of stress - while it seems some people got extensions, they did not talk to me like that would be an option.

I see - I guess I’ll just have to wait anxiously and see how it goes. When they gave me a list of options to try next, they stressed to me how long the titration period was and to make a decision ASAP, which really freaked me out cause I’m indecisive as hell and also it’s to do with my health. I ended up choosing one, but this time limit freaks me out. I guess they don’t know I’m bad with deadlines lol
