I just took my Nuvigel this morning and nothing. This is the same thing that happened with Wellbutrin and Strattera. They had "No" effect what so say over and for some reason when I take medications, they "don't" work its like there not even being absorbed into my system. Unless my body has a automatic tolerance to anything that is put into the system. It's like its not passing through the blood brain barrier. All supplements I have taken have no effect. I've taken Kava, Valerian, alot of things and still nothing. I am very frustrated with my system rejecting meds. Is there any kind of solution for this, its so hard to understand because I have no idea what the chemicals in my mind are doing, there's no awnser for this. There's only theories that can be thought of.
Listen I am so sick of expecting something to work and then when I take it nothing happens. I am ... very unhappy with my body for doing this. I am looking for alternatives for stimulants and when I try them, if there not amphetamines my actual body rejects, or has no effect from them. I am very angry, and disappointed. Everything I have been trying fails. No one understands how miserable I am. I'm like Job in the bible, his friends would critize him and not listen to him, people won't sympathize netiher anything else. And really I am left with low options.
It all depends on how smart you are to figure something out and I need to start thinking of solutions rather than problems. I don't use my head, my IQ from the testing results is actually an 86. I'm below average in figuring things out. These tests throught the computer questioning diagnosed me with Schizophrenia. I DON'T have schizophrenia, I have no thoughts of talking to people or seeing things that don't exist. I am not this. My psych report was negative. The psychologist that tested me wrote really intense comments about me moving my hands throught my hair and used things I told her against me for the diagnosis. She wrote down "everything" I told her and used it towards my diagnosis with Schizophrenia. She said that I said i felt "tormented by spirits" and that is connected to the diagnosis. Anyways, that's not that important. What's really bothering me is the psych report in general and I feel I have done alot of things in failure. I have got to start thinking for myself and taking responsiblity and also finding a solution to the problem and solving it. I just have alot of trouble getting out of this mess I am in. I've been to DARS and all those psychological tests are on file and its really gonna effect what kinda job I get.
I need to come here for help. I need resources. This is not any kind of urgent situation its just feels like everything I've done just "sank" into the ocean.

Matt you don't write as if you only have an IQ of 86? What do you feel caused the low score? What is this spirit thing. Haven't you mentioned it before. I'm a bit confused. Are you wanting stimulants? Love Phillipa

Hey Phillipa, im glad you responded.
This all was a test I took, I did various tests that measured IQ and had to make puzzles put together. Through all of it I got lower average than the population. I don't know why I did so horrible, I don't like tests that are in standerdised format. The spirit thing is not serious but I told the psychologist about and she took it was a symptom of Schizophenia and diagnosed me with it. I don't hear see touch anything thats not there, i don't hear voices either. It was faulty and really those tests are not that accurate they just use them to serperate people out from eachother. It was a 360 question test. They asked questions like do you feel like getting up in the morning? I rerember directly it asked if I had any thougths of things that are not there and I awsnered "no".
The spirit thing...like I write to God alot but I started to get inrested in the spiritual side and learning that there's more behind events happening than you would normally think. I've read about the devil and how to contact him for my personal reasons. I thoght I had fallen short of the grace of God and he had nothing more to do with me. Still after I read about all this I just felt like there where spirits that where making me miserable. It just another way to think of why I was so miserable and sad. It's alot of nonsense and it sounds very much like b*llsh*t. But I had my reasons.
The stimulants, well I am on Nuvigel 150mg and I kinda see a diffrence because im more "awake" but its not like the classic amphtamine-methyphendiate stimulant. It doesnt increae psychomotor speed or relase dopamine to the point of how amphetamines do. I don't feel any more confident, when I took amphetamines I felt alot more in control of things but of course thats only a perception. I still do wish I could have back what I used to have, but Im going to have to wait for it and work with my doctor before true stimulants are ever considered. I already know if my mother goes the session she would not let me have it no matter what the doctor says. I've got to get out on my own to do this. Just wish me luck. I need alot of resources to help me.
Matt
