    So, when I was burnt out, my doc put me on paxil and then effexor and a neurostimulator. Effexor is shit for me, It mess me up completely and so I am on the third month of weaning - I get brain zaps and shakes and tiredness - been like that for months now.


    I’ve heard mixed things about this. You may be suffering from trauma and need a medication for trauma and tiredness.

    That being said, the Vyvanse definitely helps, and that’s what everyone who takes it says that I know of.

    But I’ll say this, I feel tired a lot, not due to my ADHD or meds, but because I may have what’s known as chronic fatigue and trauma (well, the trauma I have for sure). I have C-PTSD, which everyone should look up, and try to alleviate.

      Ouch!

      My wife has CPTSD from being abused as a child. I got her on Prazosin for her nightmare disorder. It’s way better - but not perfect.

      I should have trauma, my life story sucks and when I tell people what I went through they mostly disbeleive me.

      I am from first nation descent in the apartheid state of canada and most “colonial” canadians don’t understand what it means…

      But all anti-depressant I tried just messed me up - made me feel and act very differently from what I usually am. I didn’t like it.

      So… How you holding up?
