I've tried wellbutrin before. before I was on any stimulants.
wellbutrin made me sedated af. after a few weeks it was a Lil better and less sedated but still.. didn't notice anything besides the sedated part
what fucked me bareback with aids was Strattera. only took 80mg for a month ing August and it was fucking bad. full body goose bumps for no reason. weird feelings, and it also made me depressed. which continues I guess. my situation in life doesn't help either but still. I was sort of fine while taking 72mg concerta.
See Edit ๐
done. I've upvoted all your replies
There ya go ๐ But for now I don't have additional comments since I've given what I know. Maybe work your ay thriugh different classes.
If you wanna try on the mental side, look into Self-Therapy by Jay Earley (get the audiobook and do a chapter a day). To me, IFS is the gold standard of therapy but I make no claim to universal acclaim, altho it is getting more popular (with this wanderer anyway). Drugs are going to be the answer you seek because you probably have no standard for that which you are seeking to find or return to, emotionally and mental health wise
Did you find Concerta helped on the depression side?
yes. a bit. until we added Strattera to the mix
Edit: btw, if you're having a good chat and you uvote peoples stuff if its useful or on the right track, they will often recipcroate. Its a good way to know if you're on the same page implicitly sometimes. Is for me def
I saw your reply so thats a good step but oay attention to when its there and missing cuz it gives you a compass and instant feedback based on your output
I usually upvote but today is not a good day. personal stuff happened. depressed blabla I'll feel better after sleeping
Gotcha but it helps people infer that their input is desired and there's a better chance of you noticing if you're putting people off like the
bareback anal whateveraha.I get its folksy but its going to ward off others in this kind of instance or others from without who are trying to tend to their mental garden ;)
Check out Self-Therapy tho, its an affirming practice that takes a bit of getting used to but its really the most natural approach I've stumbled upon so thats all I got, good luck
