Hello,
This is my first Reddit post. I have started Medikinet XL and I am so zoned out. I am awake, don’t feel like sleeping, but I have no…anything. I’m lucky to be alone today as I don’t think I could sustain a conversation, even typing this or watching tv feels like work. I have no interest in anything.
I was diagnosed years ago but have resisted medication because I have heard so many negative experiences. I want to be medicated to focus on work but equally I don’t want to be medicated because it feels like a nightmare to get to a point where you feel ‘normal’ or ‘stable’ or ‘functioning’ or whichever word you feel fits.
I am in perimenopause too, so just started HRT on top. As a mother I don’t want to be zoned out, also I can’t get myself to do my work (I’m self employed) so that’s a huge issue.
How long did it take you to find the right fit for you?
Thank you.
ETA it’s 10mg
ETA again: it wore off after 3 hours and I feel the same as usual, just started five different things at once so clearly it doesn’t suppress my ADHD at all.
