I'm going to talk to her about doing something like that -- at least increasing the dose to see if that helps. Today, I was falling asleep in class, an hour after taking a dose... That's not, as I understand it, the way it's supposed to work...What I'm noticing, though, is that I'm not as removed from my feelings, so therapy is working better. Tonight was the ED group therapy, and I could cry again, instead of just bouncing through the way I did on Ritalin. (Have I mentioned, I really don't like feeling high? lol) That just strengthens my reluctance to try the Concerta.
What this isn't doing at all, or maybe it's something else, is to reduce my awareness of the fat on my belly. The Ritalin did, I could go for hours without being aware of it. Now that constant awareness is back. Tonight, first thing I did in the group was to untuck my shirt, so that no one else would see it. {sigh} While I truly wish it wasn't there, if it's there I really wish I wasn't so aware of it.
(Better than it was, though. Now I think, "liposuction," rather than the sorts of things I was thinking before.)
Thanks, Maxie.
