My last "trips": yesterday I started Anafranil again ... concentration and impulse-control improved without excessive sedation (much better than Prozac). Yesterday afternoon called me a pediatrist (!) to whom I had written an e-mail and he asked me if I wanted to be tested for adult ADHD ... He visited me this morning (sunday !) ... I don't know what he thinks about me but HE is very very AHDH (he takes Ritalin but I don't think it helps him) ... This guy imports Ritalin in Italy from Switzerland, he's a kind of pusher (I don't know how legally it is ... anyway he doesn't prescribe it ... he sends people to a psychiatrist for further consultation). He cures something like 170 children ... of course he has been attacked by media (here the Ritalin controversy is very harsh) and of course he told me about HIS story life for something like three hours. Anyway I'll have to wait some week to talk with Prof. Tondo, a famous psychiatrist who has studied at Harvard and so on (translation: who I will give to a bunch of money). Anafranil is helping somehow therefore it won't be terrible to wait ... Yeah, my English improved and my Italian too ... now I can think before speaking and this helps a lot ... Incidentally, yesterday I red some post about Ritalin that described some effects similar to my Anafranil-induced social phobia ... "The only problem is Ritalin makes me act kind of weird- shy, introverted, & too conscious of people looking at me" and so on.
For what I've read the only stim that shouldn't have this effect for sure is Dextro-something but my pediatrist-pusher manages to get only Ritalin.
These are my news : ) How are you ?
