That is absurd, and it may also have been illegal, you should speak to an attorney. Under the "Americans with Disabilities Act", they can't dismiss you from your job, solely because of ADD. What kind of reasons did they give you for not wanting you…
Thanks for your story, wow, Cymbalta, & mainly at higher dosage, (60mg), knocked me on my butt, wanted to sleep all day, while it made you NOT be able to sleep. Well, that just shows again, how very different our bodies' chemical make-up are, and wh…
I was prescribed Cymbalta a few months ago to help cope with some very negative and overwhelming changes in my life to which I was responding with signs of a pending depression. Although I asked for Lexapro, which I have used safely and effectively…
Well, in the time since then, I did go on the Cymbalta, 30mg/day, did that for a month, and found I felt that it did help to even me out mood-wise, & that I think I felt actually "happier", since more things caused me to smile or even laugh out loud…
I'm right there with you, but as long as I can keep myself in "good environments", I'm ok. As a musician, I've found if we're playing more in the background, but the room, filled with people, is very "live", thus the sound bounces around & intensifi…
I know how crazy it can be when your doctor/therapist asks "how are you feeling", or worse, "are you doing better", but once we are aware of our difficulties, we really can tell if we are on a more even keel, getting some things done, etc. We should…
When I let a md change my rx to effexor from adderral, I didn't sleep for a week. I stopped going to one of my classes in college and never dropped it (got an f). The drug mixed with no sleep made me a mean person. I said whatever I thought insead o…
Yeah Steven I'll be honest living in the Mountains is quite nice , espeically places like Johns Rock in Bravard , Chimney Rock , then there places high up in Maggie Valley . How ever Asheville is kinda boaring to me , simply because I've lived here all my life - but I bet alot of people feel that way about where they live .
I will say this , there were so many yrs of my life where I didn't accept my ADD , how ever with time , patient , maturity the good lord along with the birth of my son William in May 2001 (which was a blessing) - now today I am finally comfortible in my own skin , I am happy with the way god made my brain . How ever everyone is different , and everyone who is ADD is different . My ADD symptoms might be totally different from your ADD sysmptoms.
wow I read that you were not diagnosed with ADD until your 40's , I bet your happy now that you know what you got , so that away you can learn everything you can about ADD , so that away you can understand yourself in some small way . Well I hope that your having a blessed day !!! God bless you
Hi Steven! Nice to meet you! I have the same problem on the weekends, getting myself to actually get into the shower and get dressed - but I'm far more likely to get stuff done when I do! It's definitely a struggle though. Glad you found us here, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better!
