I’ve been on Adderall IR for awhile and just got prescribed Zoloft by my doctor today. Anyone have experience taking both meds?
(Asking because I was taking Adderall and Lexapro together years ago and had to stop because I started getting tons of random bruises, so I’m wondering if there’s anything y’all have experienced with Adderall & Zoloft.) Thanks so much!!

For those of you who have taken mental health or a similar medical leave, how long did you take? Debating between requesting 2 or 3 months but not sure if too long.

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What all do you take for vitamins? I’m on a prenatal and my doc said nothing else is necessary but curious if others have heard different.

Can you please share tips on optimizing home office setup to deal with ADHD and organizing emails/notes/to-dos etc. Starting a new job in 2 months and would like use this time to set myself up for success.

I’m trapped. My husband is a gaslighter. He pushes me to the point of no return. It exacerbates my depression and anxiety and I get so worked up that I can’t function. I can’t leave because we have a baby and I know he would take him from me. I have no one out here and I’m alone. I just have to put up with it. There are good times. But it’s hard to keep living like this.

Confession: got “fat” during COVID and getting back to me now. Appreciate what it means now. 🤷‍♂️

What are your go-to shows, movies, YouTube videos, etc. to turn on when you’ve got nothing left, you’re at the bottom of the emotional barrel and need a change in perspective? Too tired and apathetic to attempt a healthier habit (exercise, meditation, journaling, etc.) - what you watch to mindlessly distract without distress?

I’m so depressed

I just got detected with IBS due to work stress!

Hi…question for CVS workers, how many days of pto a new employee usually gets? Thank you

Are there any remote positions for 30 years medical experience but only possess an Associates? Our office closed after 16 years and I’m not sure that I want to do Ultrasound anywhere else (believe me, the case load has severely increased since I started and I don’t want to injure my body this late in my career)… looking for suggestions of case managers, etc. (Thanks in advance!)

Y'all. I need some strength training programs to do at home, given that gyms are closed indefinitely in NYC. Any full body workout programs? Any reliable apps to use for routines?

Hi gym buddies,
I'm new here. Need your suggestions for diet plan. I have recently joined gym and working out 5 days a week.
I am 60 kg and 1.77m (5'10"). Being a vegetarian, what can I eat to gain some weight. Do I need some supplements?

Gyms - anyone back at them? I’m going to upgrade from my COVID-time small gym near house to big one back downtown. So excited to be back at lifting fully.

A lot of the dogs I see for digestive issues turn out to have food allergies. People would be doing themselves (and their pets) a real favor if they just kept track of what their dogs were eating, it’d narrow down the foods for allergy testing

Does anyone here in a health system have insurance that covers fertility assistance or get paid parental leave? Really like my position at my hospital but as we start to plan a family - I'm nervous about the cost. Just looking around regionally - it looks like most health systems don't cover this.

Will life ever go back to normal?

Coming off of a bachelorette weekend and feeling like I need a lot of extra sleep to catch up. Is it better to force myself to the gym and do my normal routine with lighter weights, or skip a day or two until I’m feeling 100%?

Had my first miscarriage in 2019, got pregnant naturally that time. Tried for another 1.5 year after, and then went to RE. On my first round of Letrozole + trigger shot, we got pregnant. Saw twins at 5 weeks. 6 week ultrasound showed vanishing twin syndrome and we could only hear a heartbeat on number 2. 7 week ultrasound showed another strong heartbeat and we were getting hopeful. 8th week - no more heartbeat. Got a D&C and now feeling emotionally drained. Does it get any better? Feel hopeless

Recruiter reached out with an interesting opp @ Amazon. Their reputation got pretty well trashed last year, but think that was on the warehouse side vs. corporate. Anyone gone to work for Bezos?

How to survive potential redundancy?

What are the chances of lateraling from BCG as a principal to McK/Bain as an ~AP equivalent? I’m a BCG lateral hire in the US that was just promoted but almost never get to work in the industry where I have the most interest/expertise. Would be interested in switching if I could get back to my industry. Is it possible at this level? Would appreciate any advice.

How do you guys get out of unproductive loops? I'm constantly starting something, staring at it, switching tasks, making no progress, and the cycle continues...

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your time? I’ve been an attorney for 3 years now and tried everything I can think of to figure this out but I just can’t do it. It’s the same thing at the end of every month - staying up late entering in an entire month of time. Luckily most clients I work for are flat fee/percentage based but I still feel like a failure for not being able to do this thing that seemingly every other lawyer can do. Any tips?

Does anyone work in an area with lots of exterior environmental noise (traffic, concerts, trains, etc.) and have tips for not becoming overwhelmed and/or distracted by it? I’m finding that environmental noise has increased near my office now that tourism has picked back up in my city, and I’m struggling to block it out. I’ve tried earplugs but the noises tend to vibrate my office building so the earplugs don’t work well as an entire block.

I know I’ve seen a few similar posts before in the past, but do you guys have preferred/recommended apps to keep you organized and productive with work? I have my work calendar and synced through outlook on my phone, but just looking for suggestions to keep everything as organized as possible.

Does anyone have tips/methods for staying on top of all the little things? I’m in litigation and it’s a constant struggle to make sure I have accurate and up to date ‘bring ups’ and that I float anf rename all my emails and get all my time in and update my partner etc. like I can maybe get 1 or 2 but I’m never on top of everything and it’s so hard!

My partner now accepts and understands I am just going to have some organised chaos but also I want to make this little shit work for me!

Anyone else struggle to enter time daily? If you’ve overcome this hurdle, how did you do it? I keep a notebook for my time and then send it off to a secretary to enter but I still miss so much of it that I always have to go back through my emails.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in the first grade along with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I’m also positive that I should have been diagnosed with dyscalculia. Sometimes in my work, I say/do/write things that are obvious symptoms of these disabilities but my mentor attorney acts like I’m just making lazy, stupid mistakes. Does anyone else still feel like these childhood learning disabilities are not acknowledged as a real thing by adults?

My job (biglaw, finance, midlevel) is a poor fit overall — both in the adhd sense and more broadly in that it doesn’t really play to my strengths. I am also your usual high achieving people pleaser (such a common species in this job). The combination of all of the above means I am unhappily slogging uphill to be a B/B+ associate in a job that doesn’t interest me in the least. I am planning to make a change in the spring. If what I wrote resonates, are you happier in-house? Any other thoughts?

I forgot to take my medicine today. I realized it once I got into the office. I noticed my brain is extra sluggish and cloudy. So I checked my emergency at-work pills and I forgot to bring more. It would take over an hour to go home for meds and come back to work. I hate getting in these situations trying to figure out if I just stick it out at work, drive home and back to work, or call it a lost day and go home and back to sleep. It’s so frustrating that one change in routine can ruin the day.

How is your sense of directions? Mine is absolutely terrible and I suspect it has something to do with my ADHD.

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?

I finally got diagnosed with ADD, inattentive type, at 28 years old. I’ve known I had depression and anxiety for years, but the symptoms and treatment never added up. It took WFH in a pandemic to realize maybe I had ADD, and still months of being dismissed and made to feel like I was crazy before I found a doctor to administer the MMPI. I feel validated, finally, but I can’t help feeling grief too over so much lost potential and unnecessary failure, especially in law school and my career.

How do you approach the initial conversation with your doctor? I have taken a variety of both anti anxiety and anti depressants. Nothing works. I’ve been reading online and in this bowl, and a lot of ADHD symptoms really resonate with me. They have for a long time, frankly, but I couldn’t get my former provider to take me seriously when I was in college/law school. I’m hoping the context of being out of school helps, but I just want to make sure I maximize my odds of getting help (cont)

Guess who had to do a big chunk of sandbagged work on the last day of the billable year to be bonus eligible because their brilliant but disastrous brain had them convinced they met the hours threshold in early November? It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem. It’s me.

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Does anyone have days where you remember to take your medicine but your brain is still on strike and can’t get anything done? Today is the most useless I have ever been.

Whelp….came in to the office today to catch up on various projects and instead ended up hyperfixating and spent 4 hours revising a single letter.

Has anyone tried Modafinil for ADHD?

Started Zoloft and it’s helping with my anxiety but I feel like my sense of timing may have gotten even worse than before…? anyone else experience that or other random side effects on Zoloft…?
