What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed

I mean if you drink a lot a lot, I probably wouldn't cold turkey it. On wellbutrin, I always noticed that one beer was fine, but if I went past that it got really nasty. I've heard that the hangover thing gets better over time, but I'm trying not to drink anymore so I won't have anything on that. I'd say give it a shot, but have some ibuprofen on hand in case it goes wrong.

Yeah, if you feel overstimulated and anxious, it's probably the wellbutrin. Although not all SSRIs work for everybody. I don't really know why they're starting you on both at the same time.

I don't really know why they're starting you on both at the same time.

Thanks for pointing this out especially.

It does seem like an odd choice and I don't want to preempt things and spoøk anyone but starting both at the same time sounds like a recipe for an unnecessary amount of side effects that might even overlap or amplify eachother so the likelihood of needing to discontinue them both is much higher than if they were staggered out.

It's also going to be much harder to figure out what's working, what isn't, which dose needs to be adjusted, and where certain side effects are coming from.

If someone asked me whether I'd recommend this, I'd give it a hard nope except in unusual circumstances like opting for California rocket fuel or you're dealing with psychosis and the likelihood of a mood disorder where the need to stabilise supercedes concerns about figuring out what's working and what isn't.

They're now having a bad reaction that sounds like they're kinda sped out, likely a response from the Wellbutrin.

Ah fuck it, you hate to hear it. Definitely sounds like a Wellbutrin thing.
