By weird I mean a strange combination of scared, lonely, restless and anxious. It's saturday night and I'm on my own but to be honest I didn't / don't feel like going out, or being social... I'm trying to figure out why I feel this way, it's not particularly comforting when you're on a new med and things have been going well and all that.

I had a bit of a shakeup yesterday after I realised how irresponsible I'd been riding my motorbike (even a small ammount can be a bad thing on the road), so today I rode with feul consumption in mind and went real slow and felt even more scared. I ate alot of delivered pizza last night, could that be it? Lack of activity during the day? The two cups of strong coffee I drank? Social letdowns / isolation? It's probably a mixture of all these things.

So I just felt like posting this somewhere to try to get it off my chest. Feel free to join me in my misery.

Its probably the meds and im sure your brain will balance things out sooner or later.

Im pretty much a hardcore hermit and no amount of meds can change that unfortunately.

i'm also getting used to a new medication (wellbutrin) and while it has been going well, i still do not feel like being social/going out. there were a ton of things i could have done last night, but i just wanted to sit at home. but not sit in depression, just stay away from a bunch of people. i used to enjoy going out, maybe up to the age of 25, but since then i think i have turned into a homebody. i work and go to school so i do get out of the house, but i realized i like my personal time and space.
i also have no fun drinking or anything anymore, and going out usually consists of party behaviors, and i just don't feel like pretending its fun.

i get a little lonely when i realize i chose to stay home alone and everyone else is out with each other, but they have come to understand that that is how i am, and even if i'm not out, they still are my friends/family. it took a long time for them to quit trying to drag me out every weekend though!

i have actually started like 5 new hobbies, and they are keeping me busy and content!

Bad days happen-feeling weird is very common for ADDers if you read many of the threads. Glad you are being more careful on the bike. Give yourself permission to have a day like today. Tomorrow will be different.

A new combo of meds is really helping me out of a tough time. Have you seen your doc? It might be time for a visit and discussion of your treatment plan.

I was like this last night, as I worried about what I was going to do about doctors. But am still freaking out a little.

Saw him yesterday. We agreed to put my Strattera up from 40 to 60, after 2 weeks, for no reason other than like 'if you're doing well on 40 imagine how cool it'll be on 60!' that I can gather, but then the prescription said 80. **** him I'm going to go with 40 or 60 for a while, I've got the drugs I'll do as I please :cool:

Want to elaborate a bit? Did you see the doc?

Want to elaborate a bit? Did you see the doc? I went to see my family physician last Monday and told him about my problem with ADD. And about my history in special education and how I made me quit college. And wile there I tried to get help by seeing a Psychiatrist who put me on strattera and that I didn’t work for me. He listened but seemed skeptical, he took blood for testing. I was completely unprepared for the doctor’s visit and really didn’t help much. That was on Monday, and he still hasn’t got back to me about the blood tests. <o></o>

I am about to go find a neurologist myself and forget him.
