One of my childhood emails got hacked and they changed the recovery email to something that ends with "investify.pw"

So basically it's ********@investify.pw. I have no association to that email nor do I know what that is. I can't find anything about that domain name. Anyone any ideas? I tried recovering with microsoft but their AI doesn't listen.

Doc told me to take it 30min before bed… assuming it would make me fall asleep. I read online that others have that experience, but it seems not for me.

It was prescribed along side Wellbutrin to help with anxiety and sleep.

I’ve been on 15mg for 7 days (the first 3 half a tablet). Is it not strong enough or do I need to wait it out?

I was on Sertraline for 5y and tapered off two months, and I’ve been on Wellbutrin since. My psychiatrist just added Mirtazapine to the mix.

Since Sertraline and Mirta both work on serotonin I’m wondering how they work differently and what effect they have on the brain.

Hi,

I'm on 300 Wellbutrin xl and my pyschiatrist added Mitrazapine/Remeron 15mg to help with sleep and anxiety. (half a tablet for 3 days and on from the forth a full one.) I took the first one last night. Tonight will be my second.

I’ve felt no real side effect so far. How long until it starts kicking in?

Hi,

I'm on 300 Wellbutrin/Bupropion xl and my pyschiatrist added Mitrazapine/Remeron 15mg to help with sleep and anxiety. (half a tablet for 3 days and on from the forth a full one.) I took the first one last night. So far just the urge to sleep, but not really that tired.

I'm a bit nervous because I frankly don't know what to expect. For those who have been on this combo or something alike what was your experience like? What reasons did you take it and what improvement did it have?

Hi,

Is anyone else on Mirtazapine/Remeron with Wellbutrin 300xl? Or less?

My doc is adding 15mg to it to help with sleep and anxiety.

I (26M) have struggled with focus, concentration, daydreaming, impulsivity, and school in general for as long as I can remember. They wanted to test me when I was a kid, but my dad refused. I went for a full assessment last year and got diagnosed with autism level 1 and ADHD (inattentive type), which came as no surprise except the autism. I suspected it, but never looked into it.

The depression started in 2020 when I didn't make my final year of high school and was told I had to redo the year. This is when my reality kind of collapsed. I was already an anxious mess, not ready to face the world following the path I was on, and then this happened. I refused to redo the year because by that point I had already repeated 5 years throughout elementary, middle, and high school due to the same issues. I just couldn't do it again. I went home and basically stayed glued to my bed for months. The depression got so bad that I unfortunately began thinking of suicide. I went to therapy and was put on Zoloft by my psychiatrist. We tried different doses, even up to 200mg. It reduced my anxiety, but not to the result I hoped for. I was on it for 5 years, and found a new psychiatrist specialised in ADHD and situations like mine, and she made me taper off two months ago to start Wellbutrin (currently at 300 XL).

I'm still depressed and have no motivation. I'm still an anxious mess. Maladaptive daydreaming, ruminating, and every social interaction or annoying thought triggers vocal stims. I have to be honest and say that sertraline cut down the maladaptive daydreaming by a good chunk, and I even stopped listening to music. I have tried so many different ADHD medications with no effect.

The stimulants I tried: within 10–15 minutes after taking Ritalin and Concerta I would start feeling euphoric, and then I would start walking around daydreaming. My heart would race throughout the day, I became restless, and it also made me aggressive and angry. Vyvanse was a whole different mess. Like it was horrible. They did everything but what they were supposed to.

What I was hoping for was to be able to sit down and actually study without my brain drifting off constantly or getting distracted. To not zone out during conversations and instructions, to remember what I'm reading or studying, and to focus on what I'm doing because I make mistakes easily. I want to be able to start tasks that don't take months or feel physically impossible, and to reduce impulsivity. I want to study or work and make something of myself.

My new psychiatrist said there is no point in trying stimulants right now because it would only make things worse since I'm still depressed. She wants to treat the depression first. This worries me because a lot of these issues I've had since I was a kid. After trying over 5 ADHD medications and now two antidepressants, surely one of them should have worked?

I do think depression took away my ability to write fiction or enjoy anything, but all the focus issues, studying problems, zoning out, forgetfulness, and impulsivity were there long before the depression started.

I brought up the daydreaming, anxiety, and sleep issues today to my psychiatrist and she added mirtazapine 15mg to the Wellbutrin. I'll be taking it later today (half a tablet for three days and then a full tablet on the fourth day). She initially wanted to add sertraline back into the mix because I did try that combo back in 2022 and it turned me into an empty shell. So she prescribed mirtazapine instead.

Is what my psychiatrist is doing the right approach? I have faith in her because she does listen to me and also explains everything pretty well, but I would like to know if anyone here sees something differently or would have approached it differently.

Any input is very much appreciated, thank you :)

I (26) have tried so many different ADHD medications with no effect. I was on an SSRI, Zoloft (sertraline), for 5 years and tapered off, and I’ve now been on Wellbutrin for two months.

I went for a full assessment at reputable clinic. They only test for ADHD and autism, and diagnosed me with both. It came as no surprise. I was supposed to get tested when I was a kid, but my dad refused.

Could there be something else at play? I don’t get it. After trying over 7 ADHD medications, and two antidepressants surely one of them should have worked.

Anyone in the same situation? Or any other advice is more than welcome, please.

I’ve been on 300 XL for almost 4 weeks. I don’t think it’s for me. I’m still depressed and have no motivation. Still ruminating and vocal stims.

I’ve felt nothing but anger, constant anxiety, restlessness and anxiety. Daydreaming has come back in full force.

I wish I stayed on Sertraline because it held back the daydreaming, but other than that it didn’t do much. Maybe less anxiety.

I’ve tried so many adhd different meds, and Wellbutrin is my second antidepressant. I’m exhausted ngl.

Anyone in the same boat? Any advice?

I'm 26, never really did well in school and got held back nearly 5 times across elementary and high school combined. I finally got my highschool diploma last year.

It came with a certificate in Administration and basic ICT, mostly Office 365 stuff like spreadsheets, databases and automating functions. (nothing technical)

I've been struggling to find work for about 5 years now, partly because of inattentive issues and depression. I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm thinking of picking up another degree, something computer related since I've always been into computers and I'm pretty much behind one all day. I tried Applied Computer Science at bachelor level but it just wasn't for me, especially the web dev and systems stuff.

I was thinking maybe Cybersecurity or IT Support? I like figuring things out and spotting patterns, it actually came up in my AuDHD diagnostic as one of my stronger areas alongside attention to detail and logical reasoning. I also looked into criminology at some point but the nearest campus is like 2 hours away so that wasn't really an option.

I used to be passionate about filmmaking and storytelling, but ideally I don't see a future in that for me. It's taken me years to write one single book. I do 3d model here and there, but that's it. Just a hobby.

Any advice on which direction makes more sense, and whether not having a formal IT degree is a dealbreaker? Would really appreciate input from anyone in the field.

Over two weeks on 300xl. The side effects are having side effects at this point.
