The only thing left is for some bootlicker to wack him in jail and claim it’s suicide, and Luigi will be more famous than Harambe.

I’d argue that he already is. It would just elevate him from legend to marter.

Is this how the bell riots start? I hope so, I’m tired of waiting.

Concerta works for me, I know others that it does not work for.

Some that I know who have had issues with concerta either switch to Vyvanse or Adderall, usually they can find one of the three that works for them.

I’m sure your doctor can better inform you as to what options you have, and by no means would I suggest or imply that I know what you need. I am not a doctor. With that said, you don’t know what you don’t know, so if you can at least be aware that alternatives exist, and the names on a few of them, it can start the ball rolling.

I sincerely hope you find something that’s effective for you. It can truly be life changing if/when you do. I’m hoping you get there.

All the best.

Anyone else remember bowling for Columbine?

No?

Alright.

So. I’ve kind of had two eye opening moments with meds.

I first started with concerta, and it was like stepping into the light. The problems were certainly not gone, but they were at least manageable. I could break out of mental loops that were not productive, and focus on stuff I actually needed to do. I still had a bit of an obsession with being as near-perfect as I could, but I could focus those efforts into things that were actually useful, instead of my mind going in circles.

It improved my emotional state. I was kind of in a long term funk of “everything is meh”, and I found myself smiling so much it hurt my face. A lot of that diminished over time, but it hasn’t gone away, it’s just less intense.

Recently I started on an NDRI, Wellbutrin, which had more subtle positive effects. Immediately I noticed the negative side effects, dry mouth, some GI issues. I stuck with it for a week and most of that has subsided. I dunno if the negatives made the positives more shrouded, or if the positives are just minor in comparison, but I find my emotional state and attitude is more on the positive side rather than sitting fairly firmly in the middle.

As for my usual ADHD symptoms, with the combination of the concerta and Wellbutrin, I have little or no difficulty doing the little routine things that I always had to push myself to do before. The phrase “super easy, barely an inconvenience” applies to all the little trivial tasks I do daily, when before it was always some level of mental effort to get myself to do things.

I feel more “normal” now than I ever have before.

I must say, if this is how non-ADHD (and/or non-executive function disorder) people are, then I get why they don’t understand us. This is an easy, quick, and trivial task, it takes no time or effort to do… But when you have an executive function disorder, the task might as well be “climb Mount Everest” not “fold laundry”.

Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

Just saying.

Jadzia was easily one of the best parts of DS9. I had no idea her departure was because of a request like this. That’s pretty stupid.

Take a fan favorite character and fire her because she asked for a bit of a break? That’s completely idiotic. I’m not going to say that Ezri was bad or anything; but the fact is that Jadzia was great and replacing her was entirely the decision of one small man who couldn’t give enough respect to his co-workers to respect their wishes all because they were women.

I can only imagine what could have happened, and how great things could have been if this one fool was ejected sooner.
