I think thats pretty typical. It is for me anyway. I have to get started immediately and it has to be something I can finish very quickly. I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want and how to start so I just start and wing it as I go along. M…
I'm pretty sure it's an ADHD trademark to have boxes and closets full of brilliantly started, but never finished, projects.
Just a note to see how you're doing. I haven't been n here for ages. I pray that you are learning to see what a great person you are and are still becoming! Drop me a line - I'll try to get on here more...luckily my business is keeping me hopping la…
Hi A, I can sure relate.
I get into a routine where I get really excited by ideas, or get inspired to be creative. However, as one short-term employer told me "Its all setup". Very true. I used to do desktop support, until I reasoned I couldn't have…
Warning signs for me:
I start pulling away from people to the point I won't answer my phone or go anywhere other than where I have to go;
I start wanting to sleep more;
I eat waaaaay too much or don't want to eat at all;
I also get where I spend…
Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Hugs to you.

- adhd is only a name for saying that a person is very active on certain times...
Depression is a way you are feeling most of the time but in fact it is only telling me you are not so connected with your soul... so if you would connect to your innerselve.. you would understand what makes your soul happy and what doesn't
If your soul is happy, you will be too... no matter what if you have adhd or not....

- Hi A,
Thanks for the welcome - I am enjoying the friendliness of this site. I started selling books here and there many years ago = About two years ago I decided to do it full time./ I had been writing for a company called Demand Media/Studios but they sold all my stuff to eHow.com. Look up my name there and you can read close to 300 articles for free. It's a neat site. I just sell books now - no time to do both. Thanks for making me feel welcome here,
God bless,
Sheila Wilkinson

Maron said… - How was your holiday? Are you getting some days off work?
For Strattera, this week, I've noticed a lot more nausea since I went up to 60 mg. I may ask to stay at this dose to see if that side effect will go away - it's enough to really affect me. Last night it woke me up. I never actually sick, but it's kind of miserable. Seems to improve if I can force myself to eat something.
I've also noticed the lack of consistency with it - sometimes I feel organized and energized, getting a bunch of stuff done, just like regular people seem to. And then other days, I just want to hang out and can't seem to get real motivated. I'm also clumsy still - spilled a whole dish (plastic, thank goodness) of taco filling all over the stove. Weird. But I did stay way calmer than usual in the mall traffic jam my friend and I got ourselves into yesterday...
We'll see if he wants me to go up to 80 mg right away or if he thinks I'm okay to stay at 60 for a while longer.
Take care!

- Hey there - Just wondered how the Strattera was treating you. I was due up at the doc's yesterday, but it's too snowy and they were closed. Fortunately, he gave me an extra week's worth.
We've had a bunch of snow days, and I've stayed pretty calm despite the enforced indoor time and being around my son 24/7. Unusual for me to be able to keep my emotions in check. It's a relief, because it's allowing me to approach things more logically.
Still some nausea off and on, dry mouth and my skin and hair too, which is a little weird. Sleep is sometimes good, sometimes I just have to get up and read a book.
Hope you're well!

Lizard (aka, Butthead) said… - Hey I see you and Maron got together about strattera, cool! How are things for you these days? Well, I hope! Life as a single parent is interesting, but life as a single ADHD parent is crazy interesting! I too feel like your comment above about the blind leading the blind!

- Hi Andrea -
Yep, I've experienced the dry mouth a lot and the nausea too. Also some sleeping issues - waking up, feeling like I drank way too much caffeine before bed, that sort of thing.
And I'm still kind of wandering into walls, which is interesting, because I don't do that normally. My son keeps teasing me about it, but he's good-natured about it, because I'm more upbeat and easier to get along with right now.
And then today, I did my midquarter progress reports 4 days early (I'm a teacher). I didn't think much about it, but about 5 of the other teachers gave me a bad time (in a fun way) for showing off/showing them up. It wasn't a big deal, I just sat down and did them. That may actually be the Strattera - it's really the first thing I can point to that may obviously be a result of the medication. I don't generally do those kind of boring tasks until I absolutely have to.
Anyway, hope you are well and stay in touch. When do you go up to 80?
