Ahh, So I Needed a Very SMALL Dose...
With frustration mounting in our home over the complete disarray of pretty much everything in it, I decided to try an ADHD stimulant I was prescribed last year one more time, only this time I divided the dose in half. Voila! I guess that I didn't need to take the full dose prescribed because it made me irritable, but half the dose has made me focused, calm, and organized (getting there.) I must be more sensitive to medications or something than I realized. I know that for Lexapro I only need a small amount to function. I guess it makes sense that I don't need a lot of a stimulant either. So this is my new trial. I sure hope this lasts! I need some order in my life so desperately, at least concerning the physical objects in our home and a schedule--at least enough to be able to find my underwear! LOL!
LOL is right! I need a dose of ritalin or something like that get my mind focused too!
