My wife 29F has made a few comments about my 30M my medication - do you think it’s as concerning as my mind is telling me?
So I’m 30M and recently realized I’ve had ADHD my entire life. I’m finally getting it sorted with a doctor I actually like, and while I’m still in the process of getting diagnosed, they put me on Bupropion. It seemed great at first, but lately, I’ve been more irritable and just flat-out sadder than I’ve ever been. I ended up skipping two doses just to see what would happen, and man, I popped right back to my usual sparkly self.
I told my wife (29F) I skipped them and mentioned I wasn't sure about staying on it, or maybe only taking it in the winter, and she didn't even ask why I felt that way. No "how are you feeling?" or anything. She just went straight to, "Why would you do that? I think you’re doing great, you should take it year round." She’s brought up this sentiment a few times now, and it’s really getting to me. It’s not her call to make, and she’s not even trying to understand where I'm coming from. Without the meds, yeah, I have some dark days, but on them? Everything is just bleh. No highs, no lows, just totally lifeless.
Honestly, this whole thing is making me notice some pretty concerning personality patterns and I’m not sure what I should do. I should add, I have a really good full time job, maintain our house, cook, clean, etc. I’m very much the primary contributor in our household as well. Thanks!
