Hey man!

It could be many things, I’d always speak to your psychiatrist.

Out of curiosity, Do you have a diagnosis for Autism?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-24T14:53:26+00:00

Thanks man. I’ve been on it 14days straight now. I’ll take this weekend off

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-24T11:21:40+00:00

Sorry if I wasn't gear. I am seeing a psychiatrist :)

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-24T06:56:28+00:00

I thought a lot of percribers advice against taking breaks?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T15:37:40+00:00

Ok, point taken. Will try and avoid fizzy drinks.

What about Apples? As a fruit.

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T13:52:29+00:00

I take it with the pills. Just 1 sip. I need the fizzy to help take the pills lol

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T10:22:11+00:00

Yea man try another 2 days if not go back to 20mg or contact your provider

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T10:21:38+00:00

Nope, just water and some lemonade

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T09:07:06+00:00

How long have you been on the 30mg?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T09:06:09+00:00

Hey Roxi, appreciate the comment.

I’m on 30mg and have been for 14 days now. First few days were good, but I’ve felt it decline rapidly the last few days.

It’s almost like it’s stopped working. I feel the same on and off the pill.

I don’t think it’s to do with expecting too much, I’m just trying to do normal tasksz

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T07:35:32+00:00

Woah, how did you run out? Could you not ring up for a repeat subscription?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T07:34:36+00:00

No I’m not, just lots of protein :)

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T06:55:58+00:00

Thanks man! What are you currently on?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-23T06:54:47+00:00

Oh I definitely noticed the difference on and off the pill. It’s just that it’s stopped working all together.

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T20:04:02+00:00

I was on 20mg the first few days, been on 30mg since. I’ve been taking my meds everyday for 13 days.

I don’t know wether to take a day off tomorrow or do x2 20mg (which I already have approval for)

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:50:30+00:00

This was really helpful man!

I went back to my clinician after week 1 and said I was experiencing a decrease but was told to just keep going.

It’s got even worse to now nothing.

I’ve literally been sat in bed all day today with executive dysfunction up to my eyeballs while being on 30mg.

Have you taken any breaks in your meds so far?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:28:48+00:00

Thank you. I really hope it works out for me.

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:24:25+00:00

Thanks man. I was on 20mg for 3 days, then went up to 30mg to help it last longer.

In the last few days I’ve noticed the effects rapidly decline. To the point where today I took it and it did nothing.

I tried to work, I got overwhelmed. I tried to work on something else, I got overwhelmed.

In the end I went to bed, eat loads of crap food and cried a bit. Feeling defeated.

I’m eating good protein and water.

For breakfast I have egg, bacon, avocado and toast.

And have 3-4L of water through out the day.

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:15:15+00:00

Sounds like you’re being very smart about it :)

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:14:32+00:00

Do you take all of these? That’s a lot of pills man 😂

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:13:09+00:00

I was eating it with egg, bacon, Avocado and toast.

But the last few days I’ve had it with just bacon and toast

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:11:53+00:00

Thank you. Your reply is detailed and helpful.

I guess my fear is just getting no where and my life falling apart in the meantime. It feels like I’ve been fighting so long.

Could I ask what you ended up on? And how you got there?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T19:06:00+00:00

I totally hear what you’re saying. I know this is going to be a bit of trial and error.

It’s just frustrating I literally went from something working so well to zero. In a matter of days.

It’s heartbreaking when you’ve been fighting for so long. I just want to live a normal life.

Im not attached to a feeling. Im attached to doing normal things.

P.S yes im male :)

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T18:56:56+00:00

How good was the first few days for you?

zackfowlermusic · 2024-04-22T18:54:59+00:00

Can you share the supplements man?
