FN, SD or something else?

I have been quite confused about my kibbe type.

I’m about 177cm tall, so I suppose I don’t have quite many options for where I may fit. Anyways, I have more often heard people say ”I didn’t realize you were that tall!” than anything opposite.

I feel like my shoulders are somewhat broad, but otherwise I am not super blunt. My upper body is kind of fleshy and I gain all my weight there, especially on my chest. My legs on the other hand are very slim and my hips kinda straight.

Soooo… I am confused. Can you type me, please?

12 days in and I feel horrible

Sooo… I was prescriped atomoxetine 40mg a couple weeks ago, and I have been taking it for 12 days now. I was taking elvanse/vyvanse/lisdexamfetamine 20mg before this, but it made me jittery and I couldn’t sleep properly.

Days 1-3 I took atomoxetine to empty stomach. I felt this blissful relaxation and peace, but also horribly nauseated and tired. Sleeping was great.

Day 4 forward I started taking atomoxetine with food, and it helped a lot with the nausea, but there is still some. Besides that, the peacefulness has somewhat mitigated, tiredness a bit too, but I have became very lightheaded / dizzy aswell. I haven’t been able to get much anything done because of this fatigue. It feels like my life is on pause as I try to suffer through these starting effects.

But I wonder if these effects will fade away or not. It feels like things have become worse rather than better the longer I have been taking this.

The only positive aspect currently is that I feel mentally more stable. My thoughts aren’t as rampant and my emotions are more managable.

Otherwise I just feel kinda terrible, and no motivation to do anything.

Should I continue with this medication in the hopes that the side-effects will mitigate and more positive effects will evolve? I know it takes about 2 weeks for atomoxetine to become actually effective, but I’m starting to doubt this.

Any advice or similar experiences? Does it get better?
