I already have some fatigue from my adhd drug, (guanfacine), so don't need more of that. A sexual side effect is gonna be a huge problem. The wife will not be impressed. Thats probably the least desired side effect.

Thank you for that information, Blackemerald. From what I'be been reading, it may be several weeks before I can expect to see something change. Also the side effect sheet is enormous! lol..looks like they wanted to cover all their bases! The possible combinations of medications for ptsd is...

I just started 10 mg Prozac. Only on second day, so can't speak of any side effects as of yet, but I'm taking guanfacine for adhd which helps with motor tics and such. Perhaps it will help keep any tremors at bay

I just started Prozac 10 mg yesterday, so I really have no idea what to expect. I'll continue to watch your thread though and I hope you see some positive effects very quickly. Best wishes to you, Brenton

Update : have a new psy and we're starting with 10 mg of Prozac and currently keeping the guanfacine. The Concerta went bye bye almost immediately. Dry suggested some other nonstimulant adhd to try when the Prozac is established. We shall see!

I'm on my second day of Prozac and just starting all of this. Can you share your side effects that concern you? I'm not seeing/feeling anything as of yet.

I was treating with Guanfacine for adhd, and then doc added Concerta xr, which I think is similar to Ritalin I'm told, it made my anxiety(cptsd) unbearable after 6 days, so I stopped. I was only treating for adhd though at the time. I'm now seeing a new doc who is treating my anxiety with...

Sorry to hear that. Yes, There are some bad places in the world. Best wishes.

Whatever makes us most comfortable!

Yeah, If you could manage to focus on being safe in your chair while looking, then there can be some good come from it. I saw the place was torn down, so I got some satisfaction from that.

I'm in the process of "looking at" my painful moments. Seeing whats different now that I'm grown. I understand this can be a frightening moment for some, but It's beyond time for me.

Absolutely! I went to the site of the childrens shelter and it was an empty field. Guess they leveled it. I suppose thats a good thing. I still want to see a picture of it and finding that hard, but was neat to see where it stood. Hated that place.

I just did some homework to find the address of the children's shelter I was in as a child and took a little walk with google maps/google earth to take a look. I then took some walks through some childhood neighborhoods. I thinks its a good way to face some things when you can't yet afford to...

I feel this way all the time. Like, I don't need all the attention, or maybe I'm thinking really that I don't "deserve" it. I constantly think to myself, "it wasn't really that bad", until I'm saying things out loud to my T or wife and hear it coming out of my mouth and then think, "ok, yeah...

I'm very similar in that regard. Hadn't thought it was due to my ADHD, but maybe. I think fast and write faster. So sure, at times, I probably come across blunt as well.

Very good points! I hadn't considered how my boss may have been embarrassed by the whole mess. Although she knows I've been seeking employment elsewhere for two years since finishing my bachelor degree, and has since given me a letter of recommendation, but still, she may have been embarassed...

Thank you!

Yes! For those needing more supervision, their staff would spend lots of time on the job site with the client to ensure they were getting the job done. There were incentives for the employer as well. Not sure of the specifics to that, some kind of tax deduction or something along those lines...

Because of my boss's tone and choice of words. "unacceptable, inappropriate, uncomfortable". That's just the worst violation I can imagine being yelled at for. I guess I expected the worst when I didn't understand the infraction.

In my area, (northwest U.S.), there is an organization called skils-kin.org that helps with placement of people with disabilities. They are limited in area, but perhaps they can put you in touch with a similar org in your area. I've actually work with and supervised some of their clients in the...

Welcome, Josh

Every time I start to believe i have a unique symptom, I stumble across it here eventually. I have had that electrical "hum" most of my adult life. I can really identify it now that it's gone. This whole journey began with me seeking treatment for ADHD, which I thought was my problem, (i...

That's awesome! Next stop, The bright lights of the UFC!

Thanks Mal! I feel like it's an opportunity to turn my life around. I cut waaaay back on the drinking, changing my diet, just improving myself overall. Thanks for the support.

Your input on this thread is fresh in my mind and valued joeylittle. I'm acting on it by looking for someone specializing in the right problem with meds somewhere on the radar for ptsd, lol Thank you again for your input on this. btw, though, I think i'm gonna try and keep the guanfacine if new...
