Blanks to Blinks | ADHD Information
It can take a month for meds to settle in. The distractions - well they may not completely vanish but should go down to where you control the on/off switch.
Make sure to get the councilling along with the meds. They give you the tools to say "no" more powerfully to the urge to float away when it's a mundane or anxiety-driven task. Cleaning a cage is sure mundane and even now I would be likely to find something more "important" to do. That may never change LOL!
Give it time - you are seeing improvement - ride the wave to better times!
Well,
not so far. I'm only like 5 days into it, but I can already tell the
difference when I'm under its influence. I do not have the LA cap, but
the QA tab, so gotta take it 2x/day. Morn and a/b now. Thanks for
reminding me!!!
Since I started the Wellbutrin, my blanks have turned into
blinks. I'm actually aware of what is going on around me.
But - still can't focus long enough to finish a project.
Took 3 1/2 hours to clean the guinea pigs cage because of distractions
Star Adderall in 1 1/2 weeks. Was Doc trying to get Strattera out of system or what.?
How long does it take to get the meds straight?
Hey, Cg,
Meds straight? Is there such a thing? Every doc is different, every
patient, same. I'm still being messed around with meds, soon to be 9
years later. My Wellbutrin goes to full dose tomorrow, and so far I
like it. He cut my Cymbalta in half, and 'scribed a low dose Well, in
the morning. Not a Carpet Crawler now... Still take the Ritalin and the
Provigil in the morning, the Cym, Ambien, and a bp med at night.
Are you "blanking" as often on the Wellbutrin?
