Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know how I have been doing. The doctor put me on Prozac for depression. It seems to be helping in a combined effort with Adderall XR for my ADD instead of the Concerta. I am doing better in school. After last school year, starting off with a clean slate is helping also. Being on the medicine, I can think clearer and pay attention to what has to be done more easily.

One problem that I have noticed with the drugs is that they keep me up at night. Like right now: I am probably DOG TIRED, but I can't sleep. Its just a side effect of one of them, but I drink a lot of caffeine, so the two combined is probably not too good of a thing if I want to sleep. On the other hand, if I stop drinking caffeinated bevrages, I go through withdrawal. That has happend before, and it is not pleasent.

The drugs have also made me have a loss of appetite. I don't eat lunch because I'm not really hungry. At dinner, I pretty much force the last bit of food down. I don't really eat braekfast either.

My dad and I are still having problems, but they aren't as bad as durring the summer (when I see him more). Another reason that arguments aren't popping up so much could be that I am in a programming in BASIC class at school, and he does programming for work.

Thats pretty much all, well, not really. There is a lot at school going on. I got some cool classes. I just wanted to let you all know how I was.

thank you all for being there for me.
