my diagnosis are bpd, adhd, ptsd.
i was originally on quetiapine, mirtazapine I struggled to take them both and had to come of the quetiapine because the side effects were horrific. I was also given metro xl to take alongside these two but didn’t because I was scared so stayed on the just the mirtazapine for a while but I was horrible and venomous and it was really effecting the family home so I came off that too. So for about 2/3 months I’ve taken nothing and all though I’m more pleasant and social and up for doing more things I can’t function when it comes to organising, keeping on top of chores, washing, food shopping all that kind of stuff. So this week I started taking the adhd medication to see if that helps, I’m on day 5, I feel sick but ravenous but can only manage a couple of mouthfuls. Dizzy and sort of out of it and weird. I know medication takes a while to start working but it’s made me regret starting it because I hate the feeling of trying a new med. I’m due to see my psychiatrist next month, he’s knows I stopped the quetiapine but not the mirtazapine and I’m anxious that he’s going to be pissed with me. I don’t know what do for the best, I don’t want to be medicated I hate the way it makes me feel but at the same time I want to be able to focus and be able to do simple things without overwhelm taking over my life.
I was diagnosed with all this after a breakdown 3 years ago, my 8 year old had been diagnosed with autism and adhd in that time too, I’m 41 with 5 children (3 of those being adults) my own family overstimulate me I don’t know what to do.
