Hi Beaches,
You sound very similar to my son who has had to live a very sad secluded life with his father and me for the last 2 years. He is in his 30's.
The reason I write to you is to remind you that conditions other than just our nervous system can also have a huge impact upon whether chosen medication fully corrects our suffering.My son has been treated for his ADHD by an imminent Psychiatrist for the last 10 years. Our son was taking slow release Ritalan ( concerta 54mg ). He was only just coping with life. He graduated from University and worked for 3 years in a " dog eat dog " Corporate environment. He continued to deteriorate with his work and his personal life. He behaved erratically at times, and became more and more irritable. In the end his life fell down around his ears. My Son ended up losing everything that was dear to him.
Because he was sleeping 23 hours per day, His girlfriend left him. HIS Psychiatrist was irritated with him.
He had to resign his job. He was too exhausted even to organise
welfare for himself. He slept for a year. His father and I noticed how loudly our son snored.IT TURNED OUT THAT OUR SON HAD SEVERE SLEEP APNOEA.
His nose has been unblocked by an ENT Specialist, and he is starting a trial of a CPAP sleep machine.
Our son is working in a factory, entering data into computor for Quality Assurance. However for the first time , Our son can see light at the end of the tunnel. He can see a reason for his " failure"--- Severe sleep Apnoea.SO, remember Beaches, Keep a check on your physical health too.
