| I don't care for *anybody* in my yard. I live next to a trail that is a useful shortcut from Point A to Point B. People have to use my driveway to get to it. This does not bother me, but if I see people just hanging out, I'm unhappy. Adults should keep their beer cans and cigarette butts to themselv... |

Thanks, guys.
Meow101, that's very interesting. I also have required a large increase in my ADHD drugs.
I just can't believe how slow recovery is, and how many steps backward there are. This is more serious than I ever thought a concussion could be. |

Thanks, you two.
It's been five months. I really thought I'd be "all better" long before this.
I appreciate the encouragement. |

Do you know what it is about the experience that makes you unhappy? Do you think the stuckness comes fro... |

The background: This part could go on forever, but suffice it to say that my story is made up of parts of your stories. There's lot... |

| I've taken probably all the stimulants (not at the same time...) with varying degrees of success over the years for my ADHD. Adderall wasn't one I was on for very long, as good old "Vitamin R" seems to be the most effective for me. Problem is, I "burn through it" very fast. Enter Concerta. Problem N... |

| I get 'stuck', and the longer I'm stuck, the more miserable I get. Typically it happens in a place with too much stimulation, like the grocery store or (help! what am I doing here?) the shopping mall. If I have a good list (and boy, do I make good lists) and can get in and get out, I'm fine. But wit... |

You never know how many E-FrameZenderblasts there might be out there. Maybe you could be E-FrameZenderblast904571.

Yensid, great post. You have described it all too well.
I send a good wish your direction. Or, if you like this better, a virtual bottle of Pristiq.  |

Good grief. You WANT to go to a psych ward? You're nuts. Go.
There are other, better, cheaper, saner options. Find them. |
