    So, when I was burnt out, my doc put me on paxil and then effexor and a neurostimulator. Effexor is shit for me, It mess me up completely and so I am on the third month of weaning - I get brain zaps and shakes and tiredness - been like that for months now.

    I’ve heard mixed things about this. You may be suffering from trauma and need a medication for trauma and tiredness.

    That being said, the Vyvanse definitely helps, and that’s what everyone who takes it says that I know of.

    But I’ll say this, I feel tired a lot, not due to my ADHD or meds, but because I may have what’s known as chronic fatigue and trauma (well, the trauma I have for sure). I have C-PTSD, which everyone should look up, and try to alleviate.

      Ouch!

      My wife has CPTSD from being abused as a child. I got her on Prazosin for her nightmare disorder. It’s way better - but not perfect.

      I should have trauma, my life story sucks and when I tell people what I went through they mostly disbeleive me.

      I am from first nation descent in the apartheid state of canada and most “colonial” canadians don’t understand what it means…

      But all anti-depressant I tried just messed me up - made me feel and act very differently from what I usually am. I didn’t like it.

      So… How you holding up?

        I too was abused as a child. Prazosin,eh? I hear there are meds for C-PTSD, though I’m sure it doesn’t entirely go away.

        I believe you, trust me.

        And yeah, that’s kkklanada for you

        I’m doing good, btw! But feel mighty guilty about something and I’m trying to push through to my next therapy session.
