I tried this for 7 months or so last year. My wife said that it slowly made me more and more short tempered. :( I had to switch to Effexor XR and buspirone along with stims

@nieceandtows I have been on a quest this last year to find the right set of tools.
I went in deep with OneNote and added extensions to it. The problem is that it is still proprietary and does not do everything I need.
Then comes Obsidian.md. It uses markdown for formatting and works like a plain text wiki. 1000 extensions and some clever ways to integrate your workflow.

This seems to be the way a lot of doctors are choosing to start..

I really think starting with treating the adhd and, if desired, a coach or therapist to work on coping techniques.

My sons and I went through this journey and the antidepressants were all horrible…. Mood-altering horrible. Helped nothing in our case.. but also found many on the Interwebs that have had similar experiences.

@MadgePickles I’ve been nursing a 32 oz insulated mug of coffee everyday for a while.

Before I had a wife (who actually cares about me). I would make a casserole with wide egg noodles, chicken, peas, maybe another veg, mixed with a combo of cream of mushroom soup, couple eggs, and topped with a generous layer of cheddar..
I’m told this is not good for you, but it is delicious and has enough variety that I can eat it every day.

Finding a good doctor right now seems to be as important as finding the right combo.. I’m happy you found one!

@MadgePickles I’m pretty sure my reaction was uncommon. I didn’t have any other problem.

For myself:
Regimented change in habits to include more sleep, time outside, and hobbies.

Add more time to deadlines to allow for the changes.

@MadBigote

I got the sexual side effects from just about every antidepressant med, but not from the stimulants.. odd.

Sidenote:
Lexapro was the WORST. The side effects lasted for months after I stopped taking it.

It is about 1 hour to get it in the oven, but food for days.

I’ve noticed this specifically with the no fat half and half.. switched back to the good stuff.

1to1 thc/cbd is amazing for reducing the angst and pain.

Agreed 100%. That the concerns over federal legality is still an issue with employment. Thanks , in part, to the race war and the pharmaceutical lobby. (My opinion)
