erikaSo I feel really good today. Of course that's with about ... -calculates- twenty five dollars worth of medication! A day.
That means I'm choking down roughly 750 dollars worth of medication a month just to feel mildly interested in things and to have the ability to think optimistically. Sweet.
So my psychiatrist handed over the adderall and basically said "go nuts." (Note to doctors/lawyers/new people reading this journal: I exaggerate.) He prescribed 15 mgs 3 times a day and then said "and you have some of the 5 mgs pills left over, add those or not." Then he drew me a little chart, which I have attempted to reproduce here for you:
so I'm aiming for the middle hump. And apparently it takes quite a bit of Adderall to boost me there.
