Apologies if this veered too much off topic. I’ve been kicking this around for a week or two, and felt the need to add recent events and post.

It’s 5am, I haven’t eaten in 12 hours, had anything substantial to drink in about 8, have been sitting on the toilet for over an hour, and instead of doing something about any of those things I’m editing a comment to fix a typo.

    In my experience Adderall also gave me depression++ when I would come down at night.

      Adderall gave me panic attacks during routine problems at work. I pretty much went through all of the stimulants ~20 years ago before I said “no mas” to the pharma-go-round. I’d been rawdogging reality for 25 years, how bad could it get?

      Narrator: Yes.

        Oof that sounds a lot like what my experience was. None of the meds worked, some worked at making me a goddamn zombie, but not being able to function at work just makes life even more difficult.

        Then life goes: here buddy, have the Trump era and a smidge of climate catastrophe, that’ll help.

      That’s what sleep is for, staggering your doses, or just taking something that also tends to have sleepy affects at night like Nortryptiline.
