Hi
I have been on elvanse for more than 12 Months I take between 20 and 40mg depending on workload
Im not sure if Elvanse helps. With or without i struggle with basic tasks. I struggle to write... It takes ages to put together few words, (even simple text messages). To manage, i work long hours. wake up early go to work, sit at my desk and get on with my work. I dont write or respond to emails unless essential Since i started on Elvanse, my muscle stiffness increased and i struggle to walk.
I have been diagnosed with spastic paraplegia
Is this due to Elvanse or is it just a coincodence? I didnt tell the neurologist about Elvanse. I have reduced doses to 30mg but i dont want to stop
Any comment is welcome Thank you Ps I apologize in advance if i dont reply to posts I really struggle to put words toghether

I have contacted the Bristol aadhd clinic to find out about the timescales for an assessment. I was told that there is a 7 months waiting list! Is this normal? I find the wait Stressful

Another year is ending and the thought of going trough the appraisal form petrifies me.
I achieved a couple of things throughout the year but if i look back, I know that i should have done much more. I have had some small successes, but this should have taken a couple of weeks I spent 50 of the 52 weeks of the year achieving not much, getting nowhere. How do i explain this in a appraisal form? depressing! I found myself in this situation for years. The thing that surprises me is that despites this massive underachievement i am still here. recently approached a colleague/friend and mentioned that some of my underachieving might be to do AADHD, I explained that i recently discovered that this condition is not uncommon and that it could explain a lot in my life, his opinion his that it is only a lack of self esteem that should be addressed by psychotherapy.
What shall look for when i look for a therapist to help. Any comment is welcome
