The A.D.H.D. Chronicles: Changing Medication

As I have written on here before, I have adult A.D.H.D  and as I have also written on here before, I am now covered under Michigan’s expanded Medicaid. Today, for the first time in about 20 years; I went to see a Doctor — not just any doctor, but a MSN, PMHNP-BC kind of a Doctor. One that I talk to about my A.D.H.D. I have to go about every 6-8 weeks to see her. Fun Fact: She is one beautiful woman and really nice; and very white. Believe you me, that is a plus; especially for me.

We talked a bit. I told her about my blog and politics; and my Christianity. She thought it was great. I think she might be either a Christian and a conservative. Although, she didn’t tell me and I really did not ask her at all.

So, having wrote all that, I wanted to tell my readers, what little of you that actually do read here —– that there are going to be some changes. First off, I am going off of Desipramine 50 mgs twice a day. I am going on Wellbutrin XL and generic name for it is buPROPion 150 24 hour tablet. She is also dropping the Desipramine to 25 mgs, two pills a day for a week and then 1 pill daily for another week and then off of it for good.  I shared some issues with the Desipramine; which I do not really care to share here. So, my doctor is basically phasing out the Desipramine and going with a new medication for A.D.H.D.

What that means for me and this blog: Well, for starters, I have no idea how this medication well make me feel. So, for the next few days. I might be silent, while I adjust to the new medication and see how it makes me feel, concentrate. I don’t know how intense the concentration level will be. So, I shall be doing that touchy feely, touch and go for a few days. I might post something letting everyone know that I am still alive. My doctor wants to ease me into the new stuff. I might end up being put on something else; If I don’t like this one. We will have to see. Either way, I will keep everyone up to date on what is happening with me.

Wish me luck! 😀
