Hi everybody :)

Hi everyone..I have been lurking here and there but havent really felt like posting. It's hard to keep up with all the new post. I really think that everytime a new post is made on a thread, that thread should bump up to the top of the list. That way a conversation can be carried on everytime someone answers. I'll write another "suggestion" to the Medhelp people.

Anyway, I havent been posting much. I have been pretty much listless and depressed.Not happy with my career choice or my salary, not entirely happy with my location, I am going back to taking classes next semester but it seems as though I have been going to school partime for about seven years now off and on and still no degree and STILL not sure what to pursue. I am so confused about what to do with my life. I want to stay down the beach, but work in the city, I think.
I am on suboxone and my doctor is really cool. I have always had issues with weight and depression. Right now I am much heavier  that I am happy with. I also have trouble with anxiety/panic disorder. My doc prescribed Adderall which will help with weight issues and enerygy and depression and also is a med used for ADD, which 90% of ADD also have panic disorder so Addrall is being used to treat this to help with focus and concentration.

So, I am here and I jus tthought I'd let you all know that even though I don't feel like posting I am still enjoying spending time with all of you. Thanx for each and every  one of your contributions. I hope we all stick around. We need each and everyone one of us.
Well....tata!! :)

I just wanted to say hello, even though i keep telling myself that Im going back to sleep.  LOL  

I also wanted to mention to be careful w/ the adderall.  Im on suboxone also and have been rxed adderall, though I don't take it regurlary. My husband does, however, and it will def give you the get up and go your missin.  It will also suppress your appetite which will help w/ weight issues.  However, I believe and have witnessed that it is highly addictive and has great potential for abuse.  Im not sure what ur DOC was but Im sure that's well under control w/ the Suboxone.  Hubby's bottle just doesn't always last til the end of the month and I know its b/c he needs to stay up to do this or that (important stuff) but I just worry that its becoming a new DOC.  It will make u feel good, great even, if your somewhat lethargic.  So, just be careful and mindful that it has these properties as well.

Good luck w/ everything.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.  And now, I am going to sleep LOL.  Have  a great day.

love, tracy

ADD?   you're kidding :)

Sorry girlie...think you have that all wrong...you forgot to add that "H" in there.   THAT SHOULD BE ADHD...don't forget the hyperactivity part of that.

i have been thinking about going on adderal also...well let me rephrase that.   my family has been thinking about me going on something...hehe.   i know that i need it...ADHD off the charts...but i don't know if i can function any other way...this is all i know.   if i become and function normally...i will miss too much...lol...while i am at home "actually finishing up one of my projects"...something else might be going on that i will miss out on.   i mean, come on now...i'm 51 freaking years old...why would i want to change who i am now?

just my opinion here...i fear an addict using adderal...but at the same time...it helps with impulse control and will allow you to actually "think" about the consequences of your actions.   so it is a catch 22...damned if you do and damned if you don't.

huggs,
