| 2 | ADD,Depression, Social anxiety | Where to begin. I am very medication sensitive to side-effects. First of all, I sleep forever: 10-11 hours Though my anxiety has decreased, I don't feel like I have much to say and don't have a yearning to socialize - more isolated. I think more logically, and my creative pursuits have dulled. I like the thinking more rationally, however, my head hurts from thinking too much. Obessess, skin issues (tight and oily), feel like I've aged 10 years (wrinkles popping up everywhere), moody, slightly OCD, irritated easily, uncaring (suddenly appearance isn't that important: went from overly groomed to very grungy). Tired of being awake but a zombie Going to try Mucana Puriens again, and due to the nature of my ADD, try to insert an SSRI, or a serotonin-protaganist. | I love it for what it does, but the side effects are too overwhelming. Muscles are tighter and lose weight without trying. Would love to find a dopamine alternative that doesn't make me look old and feel tired and 'blah'. | F | 44 | 60 days 3 - 5mg 1X AN | 4/29/2015 | |
| 2 | ADD,Depression, GAD | Seems to help for a few days, though zombie-like, then the nerves come back in. I seem to feel anxious and or very uninterested. I tried titrating up and was definitely OCD and stressed. Definitely very very moody, and unusually mean when I crash at night. Not happy.Tried other alternatives, they don't work very similar. Will stick with coffee and Mucan Puriens, (along with my other meds). | F | 44 | 1 years 3 - 5mg 1X D | 5/5/2015 | ||
