It took finding six different psychologists over the span of six years, and countless sessions where I tried to explain how sudden my decision can be, how I always get distracted, how eccentric that makes me and how flappy my whole life is and has been, and all the underlying issues, until I finally met one who understood me and had expertise in the field.
Tomorrow, I will starting with a dose 18 mg of Concerta.
It really sucks it has to be this way. This really is true.
I now feel like I can put down my heavy armor, my sword and my shield.
Yeah it’s quite an experience. Some of the effects fade with time and others appear (positive ones).
How is it going 2 weeks later?
Hey there, thanks for responding two weeks later.
So I al doing this trial run where I will find my dosage. It has been mostly great! My thoughts are still not spiralling as they used to.
I’ve been experiencing the negative side where I get trouble sleeping. And I feel a bit of, not really full on headache as I know it, but a “cousin symptom” of it?
The negative effects occured at the same time I increased dosage from 18 mg + 18 mg morning- afternoon to 36 mg + 18 mg. I have a scheduled follow up meeting in the middle of April but I asked them yesterday to get back to me with an earlier time to discuss dosage, side effects, etc.
