see - that's the thing! I am interested/motivated in some activities/people but not others......it seems like ADD amplified...symptoms have progressed real bad at this point...which is a reason I had previously asked if ADD could be progressive......so if I was in a depressive state-not just based soley on your ancedotal experience--but taking everything else into account--it would be 'all or nothing'. I remember being depressed years ago too. Well, a little bit. See what I mean, jellybean?
Well I'm going to try a little experiment-I don't think it's harmful at all...I'm going to take dextro one day, Ritalin the next. I just remembered I have a bunch of Ritalin left. I need some nicotine gum though...i wonder if you can get that free anywhere? I don't want to start up w/cigarettes again - when I almost had a breakdown in January, i started cigarettes again, but recently quit again.
I don't want to get caught up in mood stablizers/anti-convulsant trials unless necessary. I'll probably try the Pristiq next week. Just worried it will make me too tired to function for a while. But I could see how the dextro/ritalin experiment works first...only 2 more weeks till I graduate from UG school, can't screw it up now. and gotta sell my home. what to do - ? -
Thanks for all your help and advice Scott! Have a nice evening! :-)
