Hi everyone. I have severe ADHD and am FINALLY talking to a psychiatrist tomorrow about prescription medication. I do struggle with panic disorder and am very very sensitive to all medications. If you are similar to me, what medication has worked best for you? I’m scared of stimulants, as welbutrin gave me panic attacks years ago. I was prescribed welbutrin because my doctor thought that my ADHD was a byproduct of depression.

My manager feeds me 100 chole bhature & then my tummy hurts so I ask her to give me a leave but then she declines my request and feeds me 1 more plate of chole bhature then I die because of excess gas formation inside my stomach, then I poop & become alive once again then my boss notices that im alive again and feeds me 109 plates of kadi chawal and this goes on and on and on and on

Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

I’m starting the IVF process and planning to do my first egg retrieval in early June.

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a year and it was working…but I feel the depression coming back. I don’t want to just keep upping the dosage (went from 150 -> 200). I’m not too sure what to do and therapy is something I can’t afford right now with my recent rent increase. Any thoughts or advice?
