have the meds changed you?? | ADHD Information
YES,HE MOANED AT OUR HEALTH VISITOR AND EVEN JUDE'S CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST.
BUT I AM SO MUCH HAPPIER ON MEDS,I HAVE NOT HAD AN HEADACHE IN 3 MONTHS.AND I AM NOT GOING TO STOP BECAUSE MY HUBBY THINKS I LOST SOME OF MY HUMMMM......HOW SHALL I PUT ITINTEREST IN THE BEDROOM.NOT ALL OF IT, BUT WITH 2 KIDS,ONE ADHD,DOCTORS APPT AND SO ON,YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR NOT WANTING IT EVERYDAY ANYMORE(IT IS NOT TOO GRAPHIC IS IT??)
my husband keep saying that my personality has changed since i started the meds.
my impulsivity is better now,but i also have lost my good impulsivity which made life fun and interesting.
scotmama - don't let hubby get you down! Sure you become a little more careful but age does that too! As we get older we begin to see late nights out on the town not for the yahoos but for the hangovers. We see fast cars as not as much fun as the insurance premium going up. It's life!!
Besides the meds eventually level out and you get to chose what parts of ADHD you keep. Therapy helps that too.
Tell him to lighten up! The good parts far outweigh the bad in this.
Ooh - watch it I hear that there may be very young smart people who get the gist out of double entendres and the like! Watch it or we'll all be flogged! LOL!! Nah that was very G to PG luv.
The drive comes back if I'm a good subject to look at - and it comes with a vengence!! Very healthy I am now - especially when you consider it dropped to sub-basement levels during the first 3 months of taking my 10mg dose. Scared me where I went and got an Rx for the little blue pills. Took one out of curiosity but never needed the script otherwise LOL. Wow are they expensive - and not covered by my plan so no way!! I'll think nasty thoughts if it comes to it instead of taking them!
Every day life doesn't make it easier does it? Add to that a hubby that probably isn't stoking the home fires like he should (I've been guilty of ignoring the obvious signs before) and of course you aren't frisky!! Don't feel guilty the tango takes two as they say.
Things level fast on the big scale I think. I went from distressed, disoriented and disinterested to being invigorated, investigative and inventive! Very nice change indeed.
You'll be fine - I'm sure of it. Hubby can go take up golf - your native sport and take the native pastime up of cold showers. He can think of haggis if that helps - I know it would dampen my interest! 
Take care lassie.
As you know SM (
), the meds changed me in more than one way! And I guess that it might have changed some of the things you are asking for as well (even though I can't say that my libido and so on has changed), but I'm sure that the changes for you as it is for me is 90% positive 
And if it is a problem for your husband, always loved french woman speeking english! That accent makes me go wild no trouble.
Just remember that the drive is a combination of blood flow, imagination, hormones, etc. and takes TWO people so if it doesn't come right back it could beg the question of looking at the man and saying "so - what's YOUR problem then?". The blood flow will return and the attitude improves. The one part that he has some control over is the helping your attitude so if he goes about grumbling and being a fuddy he may need to be reminded that if and when you get back on level ground you might just not be as interested due to his being so stubborn and non-supportive. Just thought you'd want to keep that in mind and remind him.
thanks,glenn
it is good to know it will come back.
IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE SCOTTISH ACCENT,I STILL HAVE MY FRENCH ACCENT BUT WITH SOME SCOTTISH IN IT.
HE IS ONLY DOING OFFSHORE FOR 5 YEARS,HE HAS 3 YEARS LEFT.HE WANTS TO GO AS AREA MANAGER AFTER I THINK.
BUT WE WORKED OUT,WE SEE MORE OF EACH OTHER AND HE SEES MORE OF THE KIDS WORKING OFFSHORE.
well my accent is more scottish than french now,i wonder how a norwegian accent sounds
alan is supportive,it is not only the loss of interest(it is getting better now)it is other things as well.
the last time he was home,it was nearly back to normal.but he is in the middle of nowhere for 2 to 3 weeks and when he comes home,well he has an itch but i am still in the being alone phase and needs a couple of days(i like to make him beg and suffer really)
and glenn,he knows what he is doing,i just had no interest when i started the concerta,but it is coming back.SHAME HE IS STILL AWAY
And I guess if he should talk with his workmates most of them is experiencing the same things! Sorry about your accent though But scottish is quite better than english anyway, I just love the highlanders! Since I saw Highlander the first time Ai mi blossom I'm glad for you!
