I'm hoping some more non-stimulant meds have been approved; because after 2 years of Atomoxetine, my motivation has come to a screeching halt. My productive hobbies have been dead for a few months, and I'm back to feeling like I have no time or energy to get anything done. This past week has been the worst in a long time with just feeling tired and moody constantly.
I know them feels. I think what I take is a variant of Atomexetine. But then you get laid off for 3 months and it’s hard to justify paying for it out of pocket lol. So now I need to get a new prescription.
It’s crazy how much it helps, but it really sucks when that baseline is pulled out from under you. I hit the bottom hard and I find it more difficult to deal with than when I was consistently unmedicated for years. I have a project this week that is mentally taxing and it was dropped in my lap. Trying to trudge through it the week after taking my very last capsule was not good timing.
