good bye FE | ADHD Information

of itommas39764.361099537Reading my last entry is a bit of a shock, I was so uptight when I wrote it. I then left off my Strattera for one day, the first time since I have had it (March 08) and also cried and let out all the tension and didnt sleep more than 3 hours one night. It is very much associated with my menstrual cycle, what do you think, if it gets that bad is it worth changing the meds I suppose my problem is, my psychiatrist is as much use as a chocolate teapot. I am going on and on since I have got my computer back (about 6 months without it), it is emails where I am going on and on and getting angry with people and writing a novel in response to someone who has just got up my nose and wound me up I am getting totally OTT about them. Because I feel better able to express myself in the written word, other wise I just go on and on , from one interesting idea to the next , the written word seems to hold me down and focus me. Well I am starting to behave  over the top in emails, impulsively and aggressively and dont know if it is meds or me or if I am right to be like this. Would love a coach to bounce this off.
Just reading this I can see I am getting a bit barmy. Need to keep a journal, maybe its my meds.
You need to have a serious discussion with this psych.

I'd suggest a medication diary. Also with points of how you felt that day, side effects etc.

Then you have a neutral record to show the doc on an ongoing basis. Also, ask your friends/family because sometimes they see us or our response to medication, differently
