It absolutely kicked my butt when I started it. It was like drinking too much coffee all the time. I am on a pretty high dose for PTSD so it took forever (like 3 months) to titrate up. If you are at the final dose it’ll settle in a few weeks... if not every time you go up you start a new side effect cycle. def worth it on the other side.

What side effects are you experiencing?

Slight nausea, trouble sleeping.

I take it before bed to avoid the nausea.

That’s a good way to describe it for sure. Thank you!

Finally pulled the trigger on it. It seemed to work for my healthy hair but for the overly damaged bits it did not seem to work. Also I think the high heat from flat ironing during the procedure put the damaged hairs over the edge. Going to go back to the salon and see if there’s anything they can do. Anyone else have this happen? Just for some context I’ve been bleaching my hair for years and as a result it can’t really handle high heat

Advertising isn’t the only field that experiences this type of situation. Most people learn differently from others, still others like myself with ADHD and my grandson on the autism spectrum, we definitely see things and learn things in a different way. We all get to the same place we just take a different route. People need to keep that in mind before placing others on PIPS. Keep the journey in mind and allow the person the luxury of listening, you might learn something.

Consulting with Clinical Depression has made me feel like a massive fraud. I CRUMBLE at the thought of client presentations (I freak out) and avoid being vocal in client meetings in fear of saying something stupid. I have had moments where I feel a little comfortable and confident in engagements, however generally I don’t feel confident at all.
I’ve been thinking about it much more lately from formal feedback from several projects that I’m not vocal enough and that I do offer good insights
