It’s rare that I’m not juggling doing 6 different things at the same time.
I feel if I remember to do something I need to immediately get that ball rolling, else I will completely forget about it, and end up half doing dozens of things.
Currently in the process of looking up a new hairstyle, updating my immich server, making a PieFed post, getting ready for and appointment and probably some other things I’ll remember in a bit
Yep. The nice thing about getting on meds (atomoxetine in my case) is that at least for tasks I really want to get done, I’m now able to ignore those interruptions and keep going.
I’ve never tried meds, I consider it every now and then but I function alright without them, despite it being a struggle
This is exactly how I describe being on atomoxetine to my friends and family. It’s not a magic moment of clarity, it just takes the edge off of my need to dive down every rabbit hole I see. I can still do that of course (and sometimes it still happens when I should be doing something else) but on the whole it’s easier to pull myself out of the distraction spiral before it becomes too bad.
How long have you been taking it? It just stopped working for me after 6 months.
Just shy of 6 months - you’ve got me worried now! I did find it took a couple of weeks to start working, so I ramped up pretty slowly to my current dose (75mg). Also I’m pretty sensitive to being tired and my brain starts jumping all over the place if I didn’t sleep well.
