This terrible!

It's not good, I feel really bad.

When I had decided to stop with Strattera, because of the bad side effects.
The nurse told me to go down to 40 mg ( was 80 mg a day) and then stop a week efter.

But when I came home I read the little papper that comes along with the medicine.
There it sad that you did not have to tap down.
You can just stop directly, without a problem.

So why would I take it slow if they write that you can just stop?

So I did, first I felt ok.
Then I started days later to get out of balans and dizzy and slowly also more heavy, I mean real heavy.
When I checked it out on internet I found out that you should not stop suddenly!
Not even if you parents say so.

So now I'm sitting here,feeling terrible, very tired, but no sleep.
Heavy, dizzy and crazy.
Why did I even start testing this product?

Hi folks,

I know I have not been writing for about 5 days or so.
And then the last time I wrote I only anounced that we where expecting kittens.
And that has nothing to do with the original goal from my blogsite: ADHD.
But it's our first nest with our Siamese cats, so I just want to share some pictures.
I do that in this post and then I will go back to the ADHD subject again.

Here are some pictures:

Are they cute or what?

Only one kitten is reserved yet, a boy, he will go all the way to Germany.
The other 4 girls are still looking for a new home.
So write me if your interested!

How I feel

Very satisfied and very tired.
Today was the big day!
We organized a seminar with the dog listener, Jan Fennell from the UK.
We had more then 100 people who came today to listen to her.
And as a support act, we had a BARF specialist who also had written
a book about BARF, Jill Mellström.
The start of the day on location was very stressful.
We got a card to de activate the alarm system.
But it didn't work, so we had to wait a long time before help arrived.
This meant that we had to build up and organize everything very fast.
We went in one hour later, but we manage to have to seminar starting only 15 minutes later!
Although the start was stress full , the rest of the day was fantastic!
We only got compliments! We had fantastic friends who helped us.
I simply didn't had time to feel bad, because we where running around the whole day.

Complains/ Side effects

Like I wrote above, I didn't had time to feel anything or focus on anything else then
to get the seminar going and keep it all going.
So I did not have any new complains.
Just the normal like a dry mouth, tiredness, today extra, extra.
And that was all.

ADHD/side effects

I think it was ok today.
I did not get crazy, although the situation that we could not
get into the location on time made it very stressful.
I was totally in control. The friends who helped us where also great.
Normally I can get short in my reactions, when I'm so stressed.
But today I could stay pretty calm, so I think the meds worked.

How I feel

Today I felt pretty stressed and nervous.
I don't think that had anything to do with the meds.
But tomorrow, Saturday 25 march we organise a seminar with Jan Fennell.
She is a doglistener, and has a fantastic way of training dogs in their own language.
We organize it now for the second time ,and I believe it will be great.
Her training works, we have our own dog, Zorro, as a proof of that.
He was the wildest dog of the nest, but the only one still alife!
All the others where killed. They needed a owner who knew and understood them.
And above all, had patience. My wife had all that, and she started to train with Jan Fennells method.
Thats paid off, because he is a fantastic dog now.
It's so said that all his brothers and sister where killed.
Only because the owners could not handle them. :-(

Sorry, this blog is about ADHD, not dogs and their training.

Complains/Side effects

Today I had the 'normal' ones like a dry mouth,and feeling
tired.

ADHD effects

Same as the other days.
Not so calm, although calmer then before.
But also today still quickly irritated.
but that might also be because of the stress for tomorrow.
It's so much preparation for this seminar.
Well that's it for today.
