Hi,
I think dexedrine is pooping out. I am afraid. Have clinic appt at end of Jan. Feel trapped--like I can't go forward and can't go back. Had a good time last night carolling. Then, every day, reinventing the wheel, the terrible mornings. Feel worn out. When meds fail--well, it's terrifying. I know I'm not alone in this. Well, just wanted to write.

I'm sorry that your feeling this way now. SOunds like you have built up a tolerance. Many people who are helped by stimulants recommend taking 1 week off a month and then reinstating, or you could stop and start when you are preparing for your clinic.

I'm o.k. Sucking it up again. The holidays always challenge me. I realize many are in the same boat. Oh well. Silly post.

Thanks Conundrum, Had a good cry in the shower, squeezing my nervous fit in while the family runs an errand. I'm worried about the Med thing--afraid I'd just lie down and never want to get up. And feeling quite ashamed of that.
Thanks for your more sober perspective--hope you're doing alright,

I have nothing terribly smart to say. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember when I knew my meds were pooping out-- it is one of the scariest feelings you can have. Let's just hope you're wrong. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, but all of us are thinking of you and hoping you'll come through this well.

FB, you are a very strong person because you have been waiting MONTHS to try a new meds. I am not surprised that you feel scared, because I would too. I can't wait for you to have that appt. so you can get on some decent meds.
Hang in there. Babble mail me if things get unbearable or just to say "hi". :)

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I think it's great that you enjoyed caroling, though. It's good to have those bright moments to remind us why it's worth it to hang on. Is there any way you can move up your appointment?

How long were you on Dexies before they pooped out?

Hi Conundrum,
The dexedrine has been since last March.
My first time on a stimulant besides Wellbutrin (which didn't work the last go round). It's the first and only med to date that put the world into color. That's
the fear. I can sleep on Dex now.I'm hoping the clinic can help. I really might need an maoi. But I really don't know. Thanks for asking.
