[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Huh. My doc told my up front that the Wellbutrin could amp up my anxiety but would help my ADHD, and for the first 18 months or so, it worked really well on the ADD without affecting the anxiety too much. Then? BAM! Panic. I just wonder why it took so long to change its mind.
Anyway, that's when I switched to Pristiq. Which, ftr, likes carrots.
My theory, which I have just now pulled out of my ass, is that neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors can work well for a while - while the brain is building up a little stockpile of neurotransmitters it didn't have enough of before - and then a magic tipping point is reached at which the brain has enough NTs now but the drug is still giving it more, so suddenly it seems the drug has stopped working because now there are side effects that weren't there before, side effects that come from having too much of said NTs.
I think this is why serotonin reuptake inhibitors worked for me for a few months and then plunged me into a black misery. Because suddenly I had too much of something that's essentially a downer. Welbutrin worked for a while, and then, bam, worse anxiety, nightmares, and a fucked-up sleep cycle.
Well, actually we spend a lot of time drawing staves back after having just erased them.
Liese, please tell me you have a five-line chalk holder.
Much insurance~ma for Teppy and askye. Blood-draw and MRI-calmness~ma for sj. And plenty of it's-nothing~ma for Fay's sister. P.S. Fay, we love you all the time no matter what - you don't have to earn love (or ~ma) by showing yourself in thread at required intervals.
That's (1) super interesting from a nerdy POV, and (2) makes me even more sure that going off it is the right decision. Holy moly.
It's interesting to me, as well - especially since I am taking Wellbutrin together with Concerta. On paper, the Wellbutrin is for depression and the Concerta is for AD/HD (inattentive type) - but in reality, there is no telling where the increased energy of treated depression leaves off, and the increased motivation/focus of treated AD/HD begins for me.

Tim takes Ritalin for his ADD and Wellbutrin for depression. I imagine it works really well as a combo for some people.

I did, back when it was actually a chalkboard. But my classroom is a whiteboard, and I don't know of one that does it for dry erase markers. There probably is one, though, isn't there? I thought about doing it with electrical tape so I could just erase the notes. But it's not my building, so I don't want to damage the board.
eta: Also, you should see my speed treble clef.

Pix, bless you! I just bought two!
I'm not giving up my actual books. But I am not giving up my electronic versions either. Both are useful. That said...
When you’re done with it, you can display it in your home, like a hunting trophy.
Heh.
Yes, I like the convenience of my ereader, and I'm looking forward to taking a trip without either breaking my back or worrying about running out of books (I know that you all understand.) But, I will never stop reading actual books. I enjoy the tactile sensation, the feeling of accomplishment as the right side gets smaller and left one gets bigger.
