nekkid and drinking coffee? That could be painful if a spillage occurs.
Unless it's iced coffee.
...actually, I guess that could be kinda painful too.

Not sure why I have this sudden urge to enter something into Wayfinder. I guess partly because I love doing maps and had an idea for what I think might be a cool one.
The rest of the sidetrek just sort of wrote itself. Kinda.
Yay! I'm glad you're submitting something.
I wish they made Ritalin patches. That way, I wouldn't forget to take the damn stuff.They were working on something for a while. Then they went back to ER oral meds, unfortunately. I would have preferred patches myself, but I don't think neurotransmitters via the skin is something science is up to yet. I look forward to the day, however.
The idea of ritalin scares me, to be perfectly honest. I dislike the notion of drugs that change, on an almost fundamental level, what your personality is like.
I understand that for some people they're a necessity in order to be simply functional, but I myself - despite (or perhaps because of?) my ADHD - am utterly terrified of the idea.

Be careful what you wish for. ;)You said it brother! :)
Power to the backyard Bar-B-Que!
Note that I never claimed my life wasn't busy, (it is) or fulfilling, (generally) or happy (mostly) or fun (occasionally).
It's just not (usually) very exciting,...
;P
EDIT- I'm working on that,... ;)

Yeah, if it works for other people, that's great, but I'm never letting myself get put on mind-altering medication again.
+1Alphas is incredible. What an awesome show.Just never got into that show. I'm willing to take your word on it though.
However, I DID enjoy the season premiere of Warehouse 13! :)
I really can't get into Warehouse 13 because of my love for Friday the 13th the series. The original was sooooooooooo much cheesier and better, save for the horrible decisions made during that last season...

FAWESOME moment of the day - My kids have been on a Supernatural marathon. I noted that Bela looked familiar as did my kids, but I was the 1st to recognize her as Maggie from The Walking Dead. Cool points for Dad!

It's all about neurotransmitters, not changing people. There have been some AWFUL medications over the years, things made solely in the name of profit that I would never give to anyone. But there are a lot of people whose brains simply don't produce enough of something critical, and they really need it to be more like themselves.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I hope you have found something that does.
It took four different medications (and a different doctor, because the hives couldn't possibly be from the increased dosage of effexor) to finally find something that worked for me.
I'm sorry Taig. To me, that is excessive, bordering on unforgivable- the first doctor should have pulled their head out of their ass and got you on something else.

Luckily, the next doctor I went to helped me with a new (and my current) medication. He also helped me "detox" from effexor, which took about a month, because I was at such a ridiculously high dose. Maybe it works differently for other people, but if I missed taking it, I was useless for the day.

Repression and will saves, mostly. Still beats the side effects.

I preferred Boys N The Hood, Menace was simply too gangsta for me, approaching unrealistic. Then again, I'm East Coast- I think Juice is one of the best movies of the genre, and I visited the area it was filmed regularly years upon years ago.

I'm sorry, Scint. Repression doesn't sound healthy, but I understand the desire to avoid side effects. Were you ever on a specific med for side effects(the name of which is slipping my mind right now)?

I hear ya. Was a bit bored at work until they dumped all of my boss' workload on me, in addition to my previous workload. Went from slow to overload.

No, I'm going to use foul magic to create a little boy who will sing and dance and win the hearts of 11-16 year olds. Seriously, the guy is a spellcaster of some sort.
Whew. Our AC blew up a couple of days ago and it's been in the hundreds every day. We pretty much stick to the basement, try to get cool air inside at night, and drink a lot of slushy frozen water. Anybody got any other hints for coping? I know some of you guys have been deployed in hot climes before.

No, I was on an antidepressant for generalized anxiety disorder. Did you know antidepressants can cause suicidal urges? Never again. A little stress is better than wondering what would happen if I climbed out the third story window.

Yeah, we're creepy internet people who don't exist. Just ask 90% of people who don't get how internet works.

Cool, even cold, showers actually work quite well(especially when you take them together! ;-) ), do not towel off afterwards, and simply air dry. Worked wonders for me back in the day.
In my case it's mostly that I've had 20+ years to get used to how my brain functions, and while it's perhaps not optimal it's what I'm accustomed to. I don't know how meds would mess with that, and I don't know how much of my personality would be altered by any attempts to correct the imbalances that are there. So since I'm still (mostly) functional as-is, I choose to deal with the issues without chemical interference rather than risk a side-effect or alteration I might not be happy with, or worse a change that right now I would not be happy with but after the change would be. I think that possibility scares me even more than the other.
*shrug* Perhaps not the best option, but it's the one I prefer.

It depends on what you are on and how much you're taking, but yes, that can happen. I am not sure why you were on an antidepressant as someone in the anxiety community- that's a prescription for potential disaster. I really want to slap doctors who prescribe as such, especially when they get uppity with me and say I'm not a doc. If you're dealing with anxiety, therapy is the first place to start, not medication, if you take meds, antidepressants are to be approached with all manner of caution due to what you described.

I have other complaints about ADHD medication, but that might just be because I've had it for years (I cannot sit still for five minutes without fidgeting) but never had a problem with academics...without the medication.

Ouch! Is that the house or work AC? I hope that it gets fixed soon.
How is the Puffin doing these days? Tell him I said hello.
What video games do you and the Puffin play, Treppa? I got the impression that you also play Galactic Civlizations II after I mentioned that I was ODing on playing it.

It's up to you. I'm glad you are able to give it a go without meds and are able to hold down a job and live your life with a minimum of muss and fuss.
Also, Treppa, have you considered walking around nekkid? Cuz I feel a LOT cooler..
