Brain Fog

[LuckyDuck]

It's been the past month I've been going through a brain fog. SSRI's are going from 10mg to 5 because it's just not good. I've been told that it could take a long time to get over. Coffee is no longer my friend. *weeps*

I don't know how to cope. I'm trying working out. I've joined an archery league and am kicking butt while getting my butt kicked. I'm just at the point now that when I come home after a days work I try to nap but my brain is buzzing more than ever and it's just not happening. The sun is my enemy. It's as though I need to cover up the windows with papier maché newspapers just so I can walk around without having gods flashlight right *there*.

I can still sleep at night. I can't sort of make it to a state where I can meditate...

Grounding is ok. I need to do it a lot more though.

But other than this fog, I'm much calmer. I'm less stressed about things I used to be stressed at. I'm able to handle new unpredicted situations okay. I'm slow to anger.

I just want the brain fog to go away. I don't want to go off these meds. I'm scared to try newer ones if the doc says it would be better (she said this one was the best. that's scary when it's the first one you try out).

Ugh. Double ugh.

The only antidepressant med that ever had any positive effect upon my brain fog was bupropion/Wellbutrin.

I still take 450mg/day of bupropion for mood.

But for complete and total clearing of any and all brain fog, well and truly, Dexedrine has been life-changing. I take it for my (severe) ADHD-PI.
