I am in the same situations
im 26 and i am 6 2 and 200 lbs and its my 5th dayI was on stratera before and im taking wellbutrin xl 300 mgs for depression...
what i found with wellbutrin is that it was making it "OK" to be a loafer. so i asked for the something that would help me focus.
Mind u i barely fell into depression about 2 years ago. I was overwhelemd by 4 family/business things that i saved but it took its toll on me and i was completely wasted. Although my family thinks i am now being lazy and not working to potential which is true.
I am on concerta 54 mg and it gives me a initial buzz of nervousness and a small concentraion. (I take it with my 300 mgs of wellbutrin whic really does nothing more than make me feel not depressed) then i am nervous and I get a slight headached and my temples hurt if i dont drink enough water.
Around 6-8 hours into it i feel much better. But before, this is also making me less social and less willing to talk on the fone.
It helps me concentrate on things for like 10 min interims hten i can daydream or REALLY FOCUS on something on tv and sort of PLAN to do something more than i use to be able to PLAN. i dont get tunnell vision and i dont find myself focusing more.
if i eat i am a lil less nervous but it doesnt really help.
i find i can waste the day away... i use to be on effexor and that sort of helped me for a while but i found it too made me feel it was fine loafing and putting htings way off.
stratera didnt work at 120 mgs
concerta 54mgs gets me slight tunnel vision for 10minutes and helps me focus on the tv more...what should i do
