Thank you. I know it would be a health hazard if I stopped it immediately. (So if I were to I would drop the dose slowly) although I am a bit worried about how I would act if I didn’t have the medicines at all-because of my anxiety, I had high blood pressure and migraines, but that’s mostly gone away since I started Sertraline. So I think I’ll stick to the meds.
Thank you so much!
Praying for you and your family in Jesus name amenI always seem to lose notifications for this thread.
Well, a praise:
Since I've stopped taking the methylphenidate, I've been feeling much more cheerful and back to my 'normal' self. I talked to my doctor and I'm going back to the dextroamphetamine-amphetamine. (Also known as Adderall)
I had stopped taking the dextroamphetamine amphetamine because it made me a little bit more anxious and I was having trouble sleeping, but I much prefer that to feeling depressed.
Although what I find odd is that methylphenidate is often used to make depression better, not worse. It could be a paradoxical reaction. (when medication has the opposite effect). I've also heard that often people 'on the spectrum' can have odd reactions to medications, so I don't know... even my doctor was confused.
Hopefully, I'll be able to find a medicine that works well, although if I can't, I guess I might have to just deal with being distracted.
Prayer requests:
There's something I can't stop thinking about-I know God made me exactly how he wanted me to be (although sometimes I have a hard time believing that), but then is it wrong to use medications that alter the naturally occurring emotions I have? I take medicines to help with sleep, anxiety, and distraction... now I don't know whether or not I should. What are your opinions? Or can you pray for clarity?
Also, my grandma is still in an assisted living facility. She definitely is still very confused at times, but also can be aware too. She's frustrated about the 'normal' things she can't do, such as using the bathroom, taking a shower, walking over to get a glass of water, etc. that she can no longer do on her own. So if you could be praying for her and my family.
One more thing is Hedgie. She's still with us, but continuing to lose mobility. She's also getting lethargic-so prayers for our sweet hedgie. We're still waiting on the vet appointment (which is on the 18th (I know I said the 17th, I just got the dates mixed up)), but it's not looking great for her.
I also feel that... I know this is awful... but I think I've been drifting a little away from God. So if you could please pray that I can find that connection again.
Anyway, I know this is a longer post, but thank you for taking the time to read it and pray for me and my family.
Praying!
I'll be praying!!
could y'all remember me in your prayers? I'm not born again, I once believed but lost my faith. I want to believe again and I want to have a relationship with the Father. I just dont know where to begin and keep giving up.
