So I have been on Concerta for a month and a half (ish). I've been up ped to 36mg and have a prescription for the next higher dose that adults are supposed to be on.
I haven't felt much different.. sometimes I feel more energetic yet my fatigue doesn't help me get up and do stuff.. I've also begun having what I'll call stress attacks.. I'll get stressed out over stuff and a couple times it's turned into mild(?) anxiety attacks.
*couple days later I realize I forgot to finish this...*
I've been feeling anxious when I think about an upcoming trip away from home for the weekend.. I worry about leaving the animals behind. I'm sure this is stemming from the last trip away where I wasn't back to check on things in the evening for a short bit. That one trip I lost 2 geckos.. I had someone coming in to take care of everything, which they did perfectly, I think at least one was cuz the furnace broke and kept running. The other I still don't and will never know.. It sucks cuz I was looking forward to going camping and I am now looking for excuses not to go so I can hermit myself away and not worry about the animals.
I've also been feeling really depressed.. I am thinking of making an appt with my Dr's substitute to see what can be done.. Maybe a referral to a psychiatrist? Might go back on Cipralex for it and see.. First time I was on it, it worked great. This last time I couldn't stay awake it seemed.. This time I'd take it at night and see if that helps.
We got part of the basement cleaned and organized.. Everything is still a wreck but I'm kinda slowly working on things.. Needs to happen faster so I can surrender the mother cat and the kittens who will be going to rescue to find good homes.
It's almost 5:30am so I should get some sleep but my mind is a mess. I feel like crying. But I'll lay down and play a game on my cell (that actually helps).
I'll post more on here when I remember. :)
