Still on the starter pack. Recent increase in week 2 from 25 mg to 40 mg.
Mostly nauseated and tired. Next week there will be an increase to 60 mg and the week after to 80 mg. Noticed that I am a bit more motivated but I'm still having difficulty with getting side-tracked. I'll start one thing then notice something else that has to be done and go to that and on and on it goes. It's aggravating because I still have my first task in mind and I want to get back to it. Hopefully at some point Strattera will help with that issue as well. My three biggest ADD challenges are: staying on task (especially when bored of the task), distraction, and being only interested in the fun part of a task and not the boring parts. For example, yoga practice. Before you can get to the more challenging stuff you have to practice and perfect the basics. I tend to want to do the challenging stuff right off even though I know that there is a risk of injury and that I'm skipping over important beginner steps. Problem for me with this is, I have the physical strength and balance to be able to do some of the more challenging stuff but my alignment is not the best and that is where risk of injury comes in. Just one example but I'm sure you get the idea.
