newdawnfades I'd tell you to hold tight the first week of strattera is the hardest just be careful on irritability. The other thing my libido actually got better on strattera and my heart did quicken a bit I think maybe 10 beats. Though give me a choice of the two drugs I'd go for strattera for the overall feeling. The concerta for lack of side effects.. I know that some on here are on both..

Make sure you are taking it in the morning! I was was taken it at night to avoid the side effects and I was up all night peeing.. Egg cup full at a time.
A light breakfast as well to stop the nausea.

I was on straterra also I started at 40mg. I actually liked the feeling of it. It did make me irritable though in the beginning. I lost some weight on it though I had it to loose.
Though it stopped working for me at about 8 weeks I was disappointed with that. I went up to 60mg. There was a trigger for depression at the time something external.
I simply could not get back the way it made me feel @ 40 mg.. I felt it made me depressed on the 60mg.
I'm on 27mg of concerta now.. I don't like the feel of it. It's marginal I think. The sleep is probably the best part. The attention I don't know.
I have asked if I could be possible put on to ritalin-instant the psychiatrist said that it wouldn't make any difference.
Though some folks would tell you here it's not the drug it could well be the delivery we don't like. But I still prefer the straterra.

So we got through Christmas then and out the other side!! Ah contrarymary! You ran interesting thread before Christmas about the shortest day of the year. To be honest like some on here I was more focused on getting through Christmas and out the other side (though I was still interested in your threads)! I think that we all need a pat on the back cause we have issues that prevent us from enjoy the festive period! contrarymary I loved your thread on Christmas awareness and understanding. aadduk.proboards.com/post/95176/thread/7136I can hold a number of similarities to the tread as above, no panic buying this year! No problem worrying about what I was getting people! No walking around stores and getting distracted by things that I'd like! I feel a lot of that is tied to my anxiety and inattention. Me a loose canon ball at the moment , just like that puppy contrarymary!! I'm going through personal development currently .. I'm like a loose canon ball on a deck of a ship just rolling all over the place to and fro. With no one with the ability to tie me down. I just can't get what I want to do, were I want to go next in life, what I want next .. It's strange, difficult,. I'm like a 17 year old living at home with my mum. My wee car @ the front door and no where to go as I don't have much money. My friends are all with their partners doing their Christmas and new year .. Then a mother watching everything you do and repeating to an older sister down the phone the next day when your lying in bed with a hang over lol 17 again!! I can also see how a single fella who was married and now separated can all of a sudden could end up making wrong choices,at the wrong time. That would also make issues with also what he is trying to deal with. Interesting video some may find but I understand that it may not everyone's cup of tea..

I used to benefit from coffee with my mph. Since taking atomoxetine too though I can't drink it at all - I get way too jittery and anxious - which is a real arse actually because I really miss having coffee Funny, I nearly would say that coffee enhances the mph.. Tomorrow is new years Eve we are officially turning the corner! 2016, a new year, new start, new me! Time to set my goals sort out my eating. I think that some weight loss is going to be easier with being on mph and pregabalin... Don't have the same craving for food or sugar. Though on atomoxetine I had no appetite at all the weight fell off in weeks. I personally preferred the feeling of being on atomoxetine. Mph is so much smoother. Though I could drink as much coffee on both as I want to up till 5,pm...

Anybody else try this. I have recently tried it. Some stuff it does what it's spose to do.
I take a strong coffee in the morning with a nob of butter in it! Yes a nob of butter.. Some stuff.
I'm on 27mg of concerta a day. I take my coffee at 8am and my concerta the same time. By the time I get to work for 9.30am.. I'm surfing lol its a we bit like when you first started taking concerta you got a strange giddy feeling about 10,00am.
Also it does what it says, no hunger at all. I never eaten until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Plus my head is clear I'm convinced that it's clearer than it would be without the coffee.
I'm also on 300mg of pregabalin a day. I have also noticed that my appetite is more suppressed from I started it.

Answer me a question? Will it matter in 6 months?
It will matter if you let it become between you.
I'm no expert but something that I have learnt is this,
Don't go to bed on an issue like this please!!
This happened to me in my marriage an argument happened something that was said I took it ill, quite hurt..
It wasn't the first time this happened like this but this time I was already depressed. I was in counselling and some of my issues were open and exposed really exposed.
Even weeks before this happened I was struggling with thoughts of self-harming cause I felt I wasn't in control of my life. Cause of her putting me under pressure with something else.
Rather than the issue being resolved by the night it happened and talked out. It rolled into 7 weeks with no oral contact. Cause I was that annoyed with my x. I couldn't speak or found it uneasy to talk to her about things that I just had enough.
It got so big over night in my head that it spilled over into 2 days, then 2 weeks and then almost 2 months. But she didn't try to resolve this issue.
My X then on week 7 decided to ask me "when was I cutting the grass"
She knew I hated the grass as we had a massive garden it took 2hrs to cut!!
I replied grass? Do you not think that there's a lot of other things that need talked about? It's funny now! She just grunted at me and walked away.
During the 7 weeks I had made my mind up through counselling I was leaving. I have had enough!! I couldn't speak to her as she said that anything was said was always twisted to be her fault.
Though if she had not said what she said and things she had said a number of weeks before. I wouldn't be writing this.
The fact is this, she didn't love me. She didn't want to make up even though I may have been hurting she simply didn't care enough to see me happy.
If she had came across that bed that night and comforted me it would've been over! OK it may have been difficult for her to do though it wouldn't have went on for the time it did.
It's just an example of reasons why we should talk more, listen more to each other's issues... Love more after the issue is over!! ..
Love is made in the bedroom!! You don't miss the water in the well until it's gone!!

To be honest, first Christmas out of a 17 year relationship.
It's great that I didn't have to trape round shops filled with anxiety looking for something for someone for Christmas I knew that they wouldn't appreciate.
Also tomorrow I'm free to do what I want to rather than sit in room with people who have sour false faces. Who are only nice to your face.
Outlaws are wanted in laws are tolerated!
OK this morning I seen my children for an hour they were in their mums house. An hour was enough with their mother acting as if I wasn't there glaring at me with hateful eyes. It was me decided to make a change in my life and move out. No one else involved.
Their coming to mine on Sunday.
It's great to have some control over my life free from some of the stress. It was difficult making a choice to move on. I'm under no pressure now to please someone who is rude and ungrateful.
So 2016 is going to be better new year, new me!
Happy Christmas and Happy new year!

Warning! This is quite a heavy piece. But I think it conveys brilliantly how we can feel when in the depths of depression and anxiety, and the utter frustration at trying to explain how we are to someone close to us who is just never going to 'get it'.
Feel the energy and emotions. On a damp grey cold day in December it holds so much weight and truth! "It's just not much fun in having fun when you don't wanna have fun " "I am the party, the party I don't want to be at" How many people can relate to this one! It just confirms the fact other people may have a plan or an idea for your life the problem is we are tied by the condition..

I have had similar issues with my DLA claim. I have decided to walk away from it as my gp has not fully committed him to provide evidence.
I'm glad to hear someone who has had a result.
I'm finding it difficult cause I work part-time 20hrs. I can't get working tax credit until I'm working 30 hrs. I also have a what describes disability like a lot of people here. So I can't get the disability element of the tax credit either cause I don't get DLA.
So that is how it is. Not fair..

Sorry I was trying to say this earlier.
Having Adhd would be an indirect disability. Were it's not obvious but it may create an issue.
Example, if you turned up with one arm they would have to make a reasonable adjustment, which they would get a grant from the government.
But you don't have to tell them and also it's not a dismissal if you don't.

I'm not bothered, no offence taken.. It's only a bit of fun for Movember, that's it...
It's just like somebody wearing a pink ribbon. Regardless what sex they are! What does it matter?
I'm too lazy to shave at the moment. But too lazy to grow a beard. But I'm still clean. A couple of days with a scruff on enough for me then it gets unbearable. Though I managed it last year..
But it's ok to be our self's!! It's ok not to shave no matter who you are.. But It's ok have hair also.
I can remember a time in my life (very recently) when it wasn't ok to say that I was unwell - mental health not being good. All I wanted was a huge hugg that lasted for ever and reassured...
Being out of a relationship at the moment, it wouldn't matter to me what the person looked like or what hair and where they had it. It's what emotional value the person holds is more important. A set of arms that securely hold you and you feel secure in & the smell of the person!
As long as the person is clean and smells fresh isn't it more important? You only like and love someone for what you like and love them for!
It's social norms, but also social expections some people you can tolerate and some you can't...
Example ; I paint a picture, lol (I'm pissed lol)
You go into see your psychiatrist , what do you expect? A professional dressed perfect sitting up right in the chair??
That's social expecting.
But If you went to the appointment and you found him in track suit, slippers polo shirt and gave you a DX what would it matter? You would think to yourself, hey that pychiatrist wasn't dressed too well but what does it matter I got a DX!? So it wasn't what you expected it and moved forward.. You got DX!
Sorry I had too much to drink plase go lightly on me..

Yes, people in general - especially my family. I really don't like the numbers 2 and 8. and people who say 'tasty' to describe food - it's not a descriptive word! Food is supposed to taste of something! and the word 'meal' - yuck! and whoever came up with 'nom'? staying on food - people who plan what they're going to eat more than a couple of hours ahead. My mum's just been discussing what we should have for dinner a week tomorrow (wtf!) and male and female in relation to humans instead of men and women. Phones. Things that go 'beep' or 'ping' People who breathe loudly. Beards and excessive body hair. I'm going to stop now because I have things to do, but I could go on . . . So you don't like my new avatar!! :-(

No i work 20hrs a week so that is me out of that one.
I don't meet the requirements for DLA cause there's nothing wrong with my mobility.
Just of the phone with HMRC they have said that if can produce enough evidence to suggest my issues are real I could receive another £70! (disability element)
I would also receive more money (working tax credit) if I worked 30hrs a week!!!
Disability entailment. Have to working more than 16 hrs. Have to a condition/conditions that would make you disadvantaged for applying for a job. Or in received DLA, PIP, ESA ETC.

I'm in a mess this morning @alec77.
Was allowed to put the medication up but it's made me worse. I'm even more anxious!!
I'm sitting in Mc Donalds trying to eat a snack and I'm making a meal out of it.!!
Hopefully it will stay down! @alec77, your words here this morning of wisdom are so true!
@alec77 You need a column in some tabloid newspaper, but I don't think for one minute that position would change you one bit..

vagueandrandom @alec77 Some may be aware that I'm going through a break up at the moment. I was with the therapist yesterday and we were discussing about why some of the celebrities go to the priory.. We came to the agreement that we are not mad as in US. it's them that is mad.. Them being the people who put labels on us!!! Social conditioning... This came about when I said that I have had enough, I was about to run away lol I have my ex wife on my case and my mother in between.. In fact tonight I spent 3hrs looking at hotels, 3 nights half board bed and breakfast. I need time to think to look at what I really really want career, passion, interests, the future?!. The truth is who we live with convince us what we should be what direction we should go in! My head is done in I'm about to burst!
