Hi all - need some advice please...
I've been on a Zoloft and Wellbutrin (150/100mg) cocktail for about a year, maybe less. Whatever the problem was stemming from my Neon-totalling car accident that year, this medicine combo seemed to be fixing it (ie: the newfound panic-attacks, total depression, I just wasn't me anymore). Now, I find out that I have (and probably HAVE had all my life) ADHD. So my Psych added a 10mg splash of Adderall XR to my daily drink. I was very nervous about facing it, starting it, learning about it, etc, but once I found out that these crazy, wacked -out, choatic, overtly detail-driven unattractive and annoying personality "shortcomings" as I saw them, could be TREATED! My god it even has a Name! Yay!
So I've been on a measly 10 mg for about 3 days now. The only change I see is that my sleep patterns are broken and unsatisfying. And I LOVE to sleep. I'll do 9-10 hours a night if I can. NOw I dread going to bed because I know I have a long mind-wandering, can't quiet my brain night ahead of me. This sucks big time. And from what I;ve read here, ten MG is NOTHING. I'm on the wus-dose!
Appetite stinks too, I have little headaches above my eyes alternately, general malaise, too. Little bit of a stiff/uncomfortable no-matter-how-I-lay-on-my-pillows kinda ache. Sigh. Tomorrow is Monday and back to work, so we shall see if there is a difference with functioning there. I don;t even know what to expect to feel differetly if anything at all, you know? Any help out there? Will the sleep disturbances go away? I took my last dose at about 4:30 am this morning to see if it makes any difference. I'll be going to bed soon (I hope! ) - so that'll be um...17 hours of feeling blah.... I BETTER be able to skleep- LOL!
