Take my meds- man I never thought I was that different on or off meds until the recent ADHD medication shortage combined with some personal issues last Fall made me fall apart. My poor SO was worried sick because I was losing my damn mind, turns out I do not mask well. I didn’t realize that being properly medicated is as much of a public service as a personal one. May your meds always be available and well balanced.

I'm the SO of someone with ADD who was similarly affected. It messed her up for months. Things are just getting back to normal now. On the bright side, she has less insomnia on the new meds.

Good on you for sticking by her while she was working it out. Changing medication is so hard and takes a while especially if you’re taking more than one kind. I am really happy you both got through it and that she found something better!

Yeah ...after about day 3 or 4 without meds, my short fuse is back and I'm just a ball of nervous, irritable energy. And can't focus. Or motivate myself. I'm sure I am a pain in the ass normally let alone when off meds. Definitely a service to others to take it. Then there's the anti depressants.
