Do you have adhd?

I honestly dont even know
I have a sleep disorder (narcolepsy) which might resemble ADHD symptoms too. Either way Ritalin helps me function quite well.
But I could remember having attention issues at school before having narcolepsy. Although I still don't know if I Just wasn't interested. But there's a possibility.

It's actually Xyrem. It resembles GHB (chemically structured wise), but helps us regulate sleep in those with narcolepsy (as ours are in fact broken, due lack of orexin). Also because of the disregulated sleep we do experience periods of sleepiness (called 'sleep' attacks) where our wakefulness gets disturbed. Which at the same time also causes brain fog,tiredness,etc

The xyrem helps regulating the sleep patterns so we get more normal sleep. It helps combat the symptoms but the sourfe of the disease still remains (due lack of orexin).

Sorry for the long text though XD

Actually the list of med is too long to write for me XD

But it was:
-temesta 1 shot (feb 2020)
-zyprexa 5 mg 1 day (feb 2020) in pill form, they stopped that treatment
-abilify 5 mg (for like 1 week) I had akhatisia on it, so horrible. Also it caused me weight gain and I'm pretty sure.it made me confused and my cognition felt bad on it. Also it made me tired.
Also in pill form

Zyprexa 5 mg (1-4 weeks dont know exactly how long) this made me fking dumb and very sleepy, plus it caused weight gain. This was in april 2020

Invega (1 week or so). It did'nt do anything apart from reduced cognition and slighly restless leg. Also weight gain I suppose. This was in May-June 2020

After that I haven't taken any ap.
I was left with a hugely reduced motivation.

I'm now on xyrem. I believe that it might make me depressed too and contribute to a sort of memory loss (although not that bad). I guess I'll quit them too. Although it makes me sleep well, resulting in more wakefulness during the day too.
This will leave with Ritalin 5mg

I should try to focus on the things I do have going for me instead of the things going against me. Good counsel bro

Oh, absolutely brother! Focusing on the good stuff will make life so much easier and it will probably speed up your healing process too.

It could could be speculation, but if it your not actually not adhd the Ritalin can be causing your anhedonia / lack of motivation ( they go together ). The Ritalin could be burning out your receptors, it’s a good short term relief but not long term. But if you are actually adhd, I would look else were

This would apply to you if your not adhd, I stay away from adhd meds personally even though I have adhd, the make feel good in the moment, but the comedown is god awful.

Sorry if I report for the idk how many times. I still don't know if I'm recovered or not (partly due not caring anymore as I witnessed improvements last year after having stopping it few months later,so I thought that recovery was well in sight).

But I guess I'm already recovered. Concluding from the few reactions ive read previous pages, I should bloody well have recovered if you look timeline wise.
I quittted the last dosage in June last year (17 months ago). Well I know feel my dopamine pretty much back I guess. Idk if I fully experience them back, but I defenitely feel cognitively feel better.My IQ is comming back, I can make associations back. Idk my vocabulary still sucks (dont know if its anxiety/stress related or medication I take for a sleeping disorder). Also my common sense finally arrives GOD DAMN.

Oh I don't mean that they came all now, it's all a process. I guess it all startd comming back after like 5 months quitting them. Recovery came/Comes gradually. Everyday you witness some changes. You think: is that how I used to feel? Also you feel like betrayed because it shows the importance of dopamine. People are like 'happiness', 'motivation', etc that you can create Them easily. But without the right neurotransmitters it's almost impossible to achieve those. Were all slaves to out neurotransmitters (it is'nt a bad thing though).


But Idk if those things should be relevant anymore after 17 months.

Well I'm on An another medication for another condition (sleep disorder) which might make me depressed,unmotivated triggering memories from the miserabele ap's and posting back on bluelight. That maybe could be the culrpit.

It feels good to have dopamine hits back. I can now also feel my ADHD medications back and using it to my advantage.

I'm gonna read reactions back previous pages.

Your ADHD meds work again now after not working for awhile? Do they give you the focus and energy they’re supposed to give? Do you get a little buzz from them?

I think I'll live for another year.

After that point, if I haven't recovered, I'll (probably) take my life.

I'm very glad to hear that you've decided to stick it out. I'm not a gambler but if I was, I'd put good money on that you will have recovered a significant amount within the next year <3
 
Anyone else have a hard time following story lines and like logic being explained? I feel dumber overall. Like even things that aren’t complex it’s like my brain doesn’t grasp things automatically. I have to make actual effort to pay attention. I always was that way to a good degree but it’s worse now. I honestly should have been on ADHD meds years ago and never antipsychotics. I’ve always had a lack of dopamine. I remember having to start over reading things so often because I’d immediately forget what I read because I wasn’t really there when I read it. It pisses me off because I feel my life could have been soooo much better had I simply been given adderall or Ritalin off the bat. But no they’re addictive because they ACTUALLY work and make you feel better and doctors don’t want to give them out. Let me deal with it if I get addicted to them. It would be my problem. Not theirs. No instead I have to buy street meth with all sorts of garbage chemicals and who knows what else in it. The psychiatric system is so flawed it isn’t even funny.
 
Just like when you’re in the mental hospital they don’t like to give you Ativan “because it’s addictive” but it actually fucking works and calms you down so well. It’s temporary and only while I’m there. That isn’t even enough time to get physically addicted to it. It’s like they have something against people feeling good. We really do have like this thing against people being allowed to feel good in this country. It’s like it’s forbidden. They only even give you meds that make you feel like shit. Always. Or that butcher your brain entirely like invega.
 
^Who knows what he went through. The original Buddha was a prince who chose to forsake his royal lifestyle in order to get perspective. I've been through a lot, but I wouldn't change it. Not yet at least, lol.

Is that normal that I can’t feel the passage of the time ? Like time is not passing. I can’t feel the sensations of the time and space

Completely normal. All have problem with that after invega until they recover. It usualy goes away gradualy and then it speeds up at end.

Did you recovery in the end?
What's the average time someone normally achieves recovery time? I guess I should be recovered after 17 months. I still don't know
