Mind too quiet??
Ok, I’ve been on Atomoxetine for 2.5-3 months. Currently at 60mg and working up to 80. I like how quiet my mind is and am able to get some stuff done on my to do list (not as much as I’d like but better than before). I don’t want to just be in bed all day, less overwhelm, better time mgmt, etc.
The problem is, I keep forgetting things. Not in a brain fog, memory issue way. But in a, my mind is so clear that something I’d normally do doesn’t even cross my mind. It’s making me feel dumb or ditzy.
Example: My kid has food allergies and was going to a drop off birthday party. It didn’t even occur to me to send anything/ find out what the food plan was for the party until we were walking out the door.
Before I started Atomoxetine, I would have planned weeks ahead with the other parent, what I need to bring (cake, ice cream, etc). WEEKS AHEAD!! Because it would play over and over in my head that I need to take care of that (along with a million other things).
I’m trying to write stuff down as it pops in my head but in that example, it literally didn’t even cross my mind. I also find that I’m caring less about stuff which isn’t necessarily a bad thing BUT I’m typically a planner (because knowing what is going to happen and when helps relieve anxiety) so it’s a little concerning.
Thoughts?
