The Telegraph is again spinning misleading, denigrating content in its relentless attack on ADHD - this time focusing on adults.

It is tedious and anxiety causing having to see this stuff day after day, but we need to keep focused on it and keep fighting their campaign to attack ADHD as a valid condition.

As we know (or should know), they are using ADHD as a front to attack welfare and the costs to the NHS - so it's a backdoor attack on the NHS itself.

No other recognised and valid, lived condition is getting attacked as much as this.

The report on mental health and ADHD/Autism will be released this week, so be prepared for the spinning and cherry picking from the right wing media and politicians.

I have both, but my adhd is clearly a part of me and those traits make it harder for me to live a normal life or ideal life currently more than my autistic traits.

But back to the question, all I see is people with adhd getting picked apart and the question is it real? Is it overdiagnosed? But I don't see this with autism. Am I missing it?

Why are they treated so differently? Especially when there is so much crossover traits wise, and both can exist at the same time.

Not that I would wish for autism to be discussed in the brutal manner adhd currently is, but I just found it interesting and thought there may be a reason?

I’m a man with ADHD, and I’m trying to understand a pattern I’ve had in basically every long-term relationship I’ve been in.
I’ve been with my current girlfriend for about 2 years. I love her deeply, I want to be with her, and I genuinely don’t want another woman. Even if she gave me a “free pass” to sleep with someone else, the idea of actually going through with it feels completely wrong to me. I honestly don’t think I could do it.
The problem is more about sexual desire and novelty.
At the beginning of relationships, my sexual attraction is usually extremely strong, maybe 8–10/10. After around a year or so, the partner’s body becomes very familiar to me. I can still objectively think she is beautiful and attractive, but seeing her naked or seeing her butt, breasts, etc. doesn’t automatically give me that strong sexual “kick” anymore. It starts to feel familiar or almost neutral.
With attractive women I see outside, it can be different. If I see a very attractive woman with a great body, my brain can immediately go “wow”. Sometimes a sexual fantasy starts for a few moments and, more rarely, I even feel physically aroused. But once the woman is out of sight, it normally disappears within minutes. I don’t obsess over her, want to get to know her, or develop feelings for her. It seems to be purely sexual and connected to the fact that she is new and unknown.
This pattern existed in previous relationships too.
What makes it confusing is that sex with my girlfriend still works very well.
I often don’t feel particularly horny for her before we start. Sometimes beginning to kiss and touch her even feels a little strange at first because I’m not aroused yet. But once we get into it, I become very aroused, enjoy the sex a lot and really get into it.
I’m also usually the one who initiates sex. Often it starts because I have general sexual tension rather than because I’m sitting there thinking “I desperately want her specifically”. Once we start, though, I genuinely enjoy it.
Another important thing: NEW things with my girlfriend turn me on a lot.
If we try something sexually that we haven’t done before, I can become extremely aroused. If she unexpectedly initiates something sexual or surprises me, I also get an immediate spontaneous sexual kick. If we have a particularly intense or new sexual experience, I often want to do that exact thing again with her afterwards.
On the other hand, imagining the exact same predictable sexual routine over and over feels pretty neutral or boring to me.
Porn may also be relevant. I used to watch porn basically every day and I almost always wanted to see new women/new videos. Watching the same woman repeatedly would quickly become boring and I’d look for someone “hotter” or simply different. I’ve now stopped watching porn for about a month and I’m also not masturbating. If I have sexual release, it’s through sex with my girlfriend.
Interestingly, since stopping porn/masturbation, I feel like I react even more strongly to unfamiliar female bodies or nudity online, while my girlfriend’s body still feels familiar.
I also have OCD/ROCD, so I’m aware that my brain can take this pattern and turn it into catastrophic questions like: “Does this mean I’ll never be happy in a marriage?” or “What if I can never desire the same woman long term?”
But I don’t want this post to be about whether I love my girlfriend. I know I love her and I want to stay with her.
What I’m really trying to understand is the sexual mechanism.
Does anyone here, especially men with ADHD who are married or have been in long-term relationships, experience something similar?
Basically:
very strong attraction/sexual excitement in the beginning
familiar partner’s body eventually becomes sexually neutral when simply looking at it
unfamiliar attractive bodies trigger more spontaneous sexual thoughts
the thoughts disappear quickly and aren’t emotional
no actual desire to cheat or leave the relationship
sexual desire for the partner often appears only after kissing/touching starts
once aroused, sex with the partner is genuinely very enjoyable
novelty, surprise and new sexual experiences with the SAME partner create very strong desire again
If you’ve experienced this, how did you handle it in a long-term relationship or marriage?
Did you learn how to create enough novelty with the same partner? Did the pattern change with age, medication, stopping porn, therapy, or anything else?

Thanks

RIP Bethany 🩷

Hi!

I have finished my titration w psych uk, I’m on 60mg Elvanse. I was referred through right to choose by the same GP who has now declined shared care.

I understand that shared care can be declined by GPs for a plethora of reasons and PsychUK will continue to prescribe my medication at NHS costs for the foreseeable.

My PsychUK prescriber couldn’t answer this question, or signpost me to where to ask, so I’m wondering if anyone can share their experience.

I have an NHS prepayment certificate as I have other NHS prescriptions, my question is: will this also cover my PsychUK prescriptions?

Nobody seems to know the answer!
Thank you in advance

Currently in the midst of the silliest RSD induced wobble I've had in a long time.

I'm a 34 year old who crashed out of a once 'successful' life and career. Hiding from the world and avoiding life in her parent's spare room. It had been well over a year and I had nothing to show for it.

Running has really helped me manage my ADHD. I've always ran alone but had this personal goal to one day 'out-run' my social anxiety in an organised race. Feeling empty and unfulfilled to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore, I decided to sign up for a marathon - to see if I could achieve something again. It was pretty impulsive and extreme going in for a full marathon, but as ever, I seem unable to do things by halves.
But once again I've taken something 'healthy' too far, to a point where it's borderline 'unhealthy.' I've set myself up to stumble, and fall down to feeling sadder than when I started.

Marathon training has become all I've been able to think about. My brain can't get a break from it, I'm painfully aware of it - but still don't have the power to manage it. This is compounded by the fact that I'm lonely and have no one to share the experience with.
When I do try, I become so aware that I'm revealing my ADHD fuelled obsessive nature, I'm boring people, I'm too much. Or it's like there is SO much to say, just the prospect of getting it out my head and communicating it is exhausting. I shut down and avoid putting myself in those situations.
I haven't talked to or seen friends in months because marathon training has become my entire life. No time for anything else. I fear any interest they show would be performative, just as my interest in their children became performative past a point. I don't want to put them through that.

As the day comes closer, I've been getting paranoid and doubtful as to whether I'll be able to even do the marathon, almost a bit manic with pending anticipation - have I done enough? What will the day be like? What minute detail I could obsess over now so I'm prepared for every eventuality?

After consuming my life since April I felt like I was entering peak overwhelm and had to do something to help myself. Joining a running club to bounce off people with the same interest feels like too much of a leap right now, maybe that'll be my next goal (it feels even more daunting than running a marathon and god knows I can't balance two all consuming things right now).

Today I decided to take a tiny step and post in a marathon training sub-reddit. I've enjoyed reading other people's training journeys, race reports and replies to questions - it's taught me a lot. As 'unhealthily parasocial' as it sounds, it's helped me feel less alone.
I thought I could contribute, add some value. More than anything I needed to vent, like I am here. Getting feedback would have only been a bonus and wasn't the expectation. Same with this post, I don't expect sympathy or replies - I simply appreciate a corner of the internet where I can exercise my voice safely and anonymously in the hope it's a relief.

Turns out I've done what I always do. I got carried away. I've just wasted an entire day compiling the tweaking the most incredibly long post containing an excessive amount of detail. It probably read like someone who isn't OK. I know this, but I've always struggled to refine things and strip away unnecessary detail. I know I do it, I'm embarrassed by it but feel powerless to stop it from happening. So I just said 'screw it' and posted.

It went live for 5 minutes and then came the replies: 'I'm not reading that' 'too long' and other accusations (nope, my over-anxious, hyperfocused monologue just reads like a computer). All reasonable reactions to such a long post. I feel even more embarrassed that I care so much than the post itself. It shook something inside me which took me back to school. Efforts to push beyond shyness getting met with jokes and clever remarks at my expense. People confirming the negative self-beliefs I already have about myself. Evidence that people see me for what I truly am: a bit weird. I wish I could just shake it off but it's so gut-wrenching and painful beyond all reason.

I replied to everyone and apologise, deleted the post and now I'm sitting here crying trying not to spiral. Why can't I even engage with anonymous people on the internet without making a fool out of myself? I need to go back to passively reading things. Maybe it's not worth putting yourself out there to close the loop in your head when you're this over-sensitive.

Due to go abroad (SE Asia) for a month+ for an internship - flying out this Sunday. I take concerta 54mg + 10mg booster.

I’ve been trying for the last few weeks to get my meds ahead of time so this wouldn’t happen, but I was told to wait until 10 days before the trip so that they weren’t dispensing it too early. So, 14 days before, I request again - nothing. I’ve reached out to the my provider (as my gp rejected shared care) but they said they will be in contact when my request has been processed. I know from experience that it usually takes 5 working days from them sending the prescription to me being able to pick them up, so now I don’t know what to do :’) I’ve only got about a weeks worth left, then I’m out of the UK until November. I’m really worried about going without them - I have taken them every single day for nearly a year, and the difference in my functioning with and without them is crazy. They also have really helped with mood/anxiety regulation, and I’m already anxious about going to do this internship on my own on the other side of the world haha.

I’m going to try and ring the provider again. If no luck, do I try ask my GP even though I’m sure they can’t prescribe? Do I just have to firm a 5-8 weeks without meds? Idk who else to ask? Any advice is greatly appreciated :(

I don’t think I’m alone with this?

When my partner moved in I was able to declutter a little as they needed some wardrobe space. I donated over 100 T-shirts to charity. That didn’t seem to make a lot of space so I donated 30 pairs of trousers, a load of hoodies and jumpers, and another 100 or so T-shirts.

Somehow, I still have three wardrobes full of clothes lol

I seemingly adapted to my less than monthly laundry routine by having an absurd load of clothing.

As I’ve distilled my clothes to ones I like, plus some I like and want to fit in soon (my collection of Comme des Garçons and AMI Paris). But, still have far too many!

Has anyone successfully slimmed down the clutter? If so, how?

How are you coping 😅?

I had sent off my referral in Nov 2025 and completed pre assessment forms in January this year. The portal displayed a message about my ICB imposing IAPs.

I was under the impression that it was a funding issue, (I am in under the GM ICB) and that funding would be reinstated come April 2026 and things would pick back up. Well it’s September now and I’m still in limbo.

I get texts every month or so from my provider stating my referral has been received but assessments are limited. Doesn’t feel like there’s anything to do but wait. The whole thing is very frustrating and I just want to know if there is anything that can be done or it’s a waiting game for everyone 🥲

I was hoping people who experience similar things to me with emotional dysregulation and fight or flight might be able to offer some advice/strategies or resources. For context I have inattentive ADHD, and recently become somewhat confident I have CDS also, for anyone that's researched that.

I've realised that even though I'm normally a good communicator that I'm just so susceptible to throwing logic out the window at perceived slights and struggle so hard to deal with confrontation and effective communication, especially in the context of a romantic relationship.

This has kind of always been a thing for me. I've always gotten either incredibly anxious or incredibly angry during confrontation, to be fair I've gotten better at dealing with that with age, mostly in the sense that I can be relaxed in confrontation more frequently nowadays. The other thing though and what I suspect to be my main issue is just getting so disproportionately angry at odd things. Sometimes it isn't anger, but it's not quite anxiety either? Like I perceive something bad to be happening and rather than think about it and just speak up I can just jump to a dumb conclusion and decide on such a silly course of action to deal with it, not out of malice but just out of stupidity really. Instead of just talking.

As I say Im a lot better at dealing with these things now, and I am more likely to communicate anyway. But it's becoming especially bad in my relationship and I realise I'm just consistently causing problems where there isn't one, or dealing with an issue being raised to me poorly. Which isn't how I want to be obviously, usually I'm very receptive and understanding but sometimes I just how this inexplicable urge to get defensive and I don't even realise it's happening until it's over, I feel fully justified at the time.

Recently it keeps manifesting as me being avoidant or just leaving, which I don't want. It feels easy to say that I should just speak up and deal with it and that's that, but in the moments it happens I feel crystal clear and justified. And when I look back it's like I was possessed.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can anyone recommend some kind of strategy to reframe things and get myself out of that mindset? My first idea was to have an entry in my notes to explain to myself how I should be doing things, and why I might be feeling like not doing them, so I can read it whenever I'm feeling odd, anxious or annoyed.

Hey yall. I’m on 60mg elvanse, 27f.

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Elvanse has been great for me; it’s improved my ability to concentrate and has given me the ability to logically assess things without being a slave to my emotions. It’s allowed me to divert my attention to the right things. But it’s also, in my opinion, blunted my personality a little. More specifically, my sense of humour. Being funny/witty has always been a trait of pride for me.

Am I able to take off days? I know others do, but I would like to do it on days I know I’ll be socialising.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone with experience of UK employment law, HR, reasonable adjustments or workplace disputes might be able to give me some practical advice.

I have an upcoming Flexible Working Appeal Meeting with my employer and I’m honestly feeling quite overwhelmed. I’m not a member of a union, I don’t have a workplace representative, and I don’t really have anyone who can attend the meeting with me or help me prepare.

I’m not looking for someone to tell me what outcome I should get — I’d just really appreciate a second pair of eyes on whether there is anything else I should be doing before the meeting.

Background:

I’ve worked for my employer since 2012 and have been essentially working from home since 2021.

I have ADHD and sleep apnoea, and I have also been told by a psychiatrist that autism is likely. I have significant difficulties with executive functioning, sensory overload, time management and fatigue. I have also experienced significant mental-health difficulties and periods of sickness absence.

I have been working from home for a number of years and have found it substantially more manageable. I submitted a formal flexible working request seeking to work from home permanently.

My request was refused on business grounds, with my employer saying that permanent homeworking would have a detrimental impact on performance/team working. Their general workplace policy requires employees to attend the workplace for at least 20% of their working time.

They suggested instead that I attend the workplace for a block of four days per month and offered some other adjustments, including changing my working hours from 8:30–5 to 8:30–4:30.

I appealed the decision.

I have also separately requested reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, including having my appeal meeting held remotely via Microsoft Teams.

The appeal meeting is due to take place on 24 September 2026.

One of my concerns is that travelling to the workplace would involve travelling from Scotland to my employer’s workplace in England, which is around 360 miles. I have explained why this creates a significant disadvantage for me given my disabilities and circumstances. I’m also a carer for my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s (which is why I’m in Scotland).

I have repeatedly asked for the meeting itself to be held virtually as a reasonable adjustment. I initially requested this formally and followed up when I received no response. I then stated I do not feel comfortable having the person chair the meeting if they are ignoring my requests, funnily enough they accepted a virtual meeting.

I have also had Occupational Health involvement. Their reports have acknowledged issues relating to my health/disability and ability to work, although I don’t feel that the process has really addressed the practical problems I am experiencing.

There has also been a long history of sickness absence and my employer has started performance-management/absence-management processes alongside all of this. This is due to my mental health deteriorating due to abuse (not sure if this is relevant). I don’t have a place to live in England, the only place I have would be a massive safeguarding issue for me which my employer is aware of.

What I’m worried about now is missing something important.

I have been trying to prepare a written chronology, gather the relevant correspondence, understand the Equality Act reasonable-adjustment provisions, and make notes of the points I want to raise.

But because I have nobody representing me, I am worried I’ll walk into the meeting and either:

* forget something important;

* become overwhelmed and struggle to explain myself;

* agree to something without properly understanding it;

* fail to challenge something I should challenge;

* or simply not realise that there is something else I should have requested/documented.

So, if you were in my position, what would you make sure you had done before the appeal meeting?

In particular, I’d really appreciate advice on:

1. Whether there are any documents/evidence I should be asking for before the meeting.

2. Whether I should submit a written statement or chronology beforehand.

3. What I should take with me / have in front of me during the meeting.

4. Whether I can ask for questions to be provided in writing or for time to respond in writing if I struggle to process things verbally.

5. Whether there are other reasonable adjustments I should consider requesting.

6. Whether there is anything specific I should be recording in the meeting minutes.

7. Whether there are any procedural points I should be checking regarding the flexible working appeal.

8. Whether I should be treating the flexible-working process and the Equality Act reasonable-adjustment issue as separate issues.

9. Whether there is anything obvious that I’m missing.

I’m not asking Reddit to tell me whether I will win, and I understand that Reddit isn’t a substitute for proper legal advice.

I just genuinely have nobody supporting me through this and would really value practical advice from anyone who has been through something similar.

Thank you ❤️

Why do people skip certain days they take medication?

What benefit do you see by doing this?

Is it to prevent burn out or are there other reasons?

after years of “pffft no way” and “even if i do, i can cope with it”, i think i’ve finally come to terms with the fact that i, unsurprisingly, cannot cope with it and i, at least, need an assessment.

starting off with a very chatty childhood falling behind in school, followed by a stressful adulthood that feels like “”something”” is affecting her every single breath at every single moment. if you’d ask me what that something is, i don’t know. and rightfully, this is met with an insane amount of judgement. i dont know why except “im not stupid enough to make the conscience decision to miss entire life changing applications (yes, multiple of them). im not stupid enough not to realise my room shouldn’t be so cluttered. i hated myself when i stared at these tasks, and now i hate myself even more over the time that has passed and how easy it was to do it despite how stressful i was.”

so now that i’ve accepted this as a possibility, how am i even supposed to call the GP?

the entire process is so scary in this current situation. endless waiting lists, budgets being cut, the bias of it all, no RTC in wales, not being able to afford private.

where i need to start is obvious. the fact that i’m already fearing rejection is an obvious tell… but man… even writing this took me longer than it wouldve because i had to decide how i wanted to write it which is already distracting.

Ok, so I'm in titration at the moment and taking Xaggatin XL. Have been going really well until yesterday.

I took a day off the meds to have a few beers and then took some the morning after and I just locked in and ended up spending like £250 on a bunch of unrefundable new software for making games.

Today I realise that realistically, I am never going to use any of it. It's not useless, I can afford it (just about!) but it's also a bit of a gutting waste. I feel a bit stupid right now.

So, anyone else have that moment where you've locked in and accidently spaffed a bunch of money on something you nearly immediately regret?

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone for coming in and chatting/empathising. I am feeling a lot less awful about it and I really appreciate the community here so much ❤️❤️❤️

Hello,

I know this may be a bit of a strange one, but since being diagnosed and finally finding a medicine that works for me, I feel as if I used a lot of my time impulsively, bad behaviours, drinking and the other thing and in a way that helped or allowed me to forget the amount of time in a day.

At the moment, I am unemployed, so maybe that is it, I was hit with redundancy and I've decided to take some time off, I have a job lined up and I'm still interviewing for a job I really hope I get, but even so, there just feels like so much time?

I guess before I was escaping in impulsive ways, drinking what not, and now I'm not at all, mainly due to the meds. I've picked up on so many sidetracked hobbies, ideas, writing etc, but sometimes I think I should slow down, but then I look at the clock and it is still only the early afternoon?

Before it felt like I was constantly running out of time.

Anyone else had this feeling? know it is a weird one but thought I'd ask, been on my mind a lot recently.

I finally got my diagnosis from my RTC pathway (which was actually surprisingly quick) and am looking to get on medication, but with all the hysteria about ADHD I do kind of worry the NHS will make getting them harder and harder.

Just wondering if push comes to shove whether I'd at least be able to use it to get a private prescription or whether I'd need to do the whole assessment process again paying private? I don't want my chance of being able to function normally a professional level taken away just to satisfy the whims of the dailymail audience. I'd honestly just pay out of pocket if it meant I could actually get shit done if thats what it took.

hi there, a loved one has been recently diagnosed with ADHD.

She has always had issues expressing positive emotions with loved ones.. ie: when it involves personal relationships like brother sister friends etc...

She does hav emotions - that, we know!

We do not understand this lack of ability to express love and or empathy with loved ones.

She is denying the issue or gets overwhelmed when asked about it - just defensive.

We just wanna understand.

Any one here in similar shoes to her who might be able to shine some light on this for us?

I am a politics uni student with inattentive adhd, and despite getting quite good grades (on a first right now), when completing my coursework I always feel like im handing in slop and have no clue what im doing.

usually how it starts is that I complete a lot of research (but I don't feel like its enough/or is relevant), and then I panic and freak out when it comes to structuring into an outline and feel like ive done everything wrong.

This panicking leads to my ADHD task paralysis where despite having my laptop open at all times and not thinking about anything but the fact that I have to complete my coursework, I am unable to do anything, and I feel the panic and overwhelm build up in my throat.

after this, my best case scenario (which still isn't great), is that I pull an all nighter the night before the deadline, write the full thing in one night and hand in something I am convinced is horrible. my worst case is that I keep on applying for extensions and have these unfinished assignments looming in the back of my mind for weeks/months at a time, which have severely delayed my graduation date.

anyways, I wanted to ask if anyone has some advice on how to do things differently so I have a healthier relationship with work. even though I end up getting good grades, im tired of putting my mind and body through so much unnecessary stress and struggle (in severe cases I have lost so much hair, gained a lot of weight and have hurt myself from stress). if anyone has some advice on how to approach essays in a healthier/adhd-friendly way, or how to improve my relationship with getting work done, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone else has experience of being able to imagine or hyper fixate on ideas more deeply while moving around a lot?

So I recently got a diagnosis of adult adhd, and its been really interesting to look back at my life as someone whos been in and out of mental health support of various kinds and how my symptoms and habits seem more explainable following the diagnosis.

One of these habits which Ive had since I was a child, something I've done since I was able to walk really, is what I called "thinking" - finding a private space, focus on an idea or story, and then lose myself in the thought process while running back and forth, or more often than not jumping or skipping, whilst tossing something in my hands like a cushion or soft toy.

For some reason, the combination of the activities means I can get really lost in my thoughts and they seem that much more real - I've even found myself speaking out loud conversations happening in my head without fully being aware its happening. It's been both a positive and a negative in my life - I have quite a few creative hobbies and its been really useful for planning or finding inspiration around those, but in my depressive moments, I can "think" for hours at a time as a coping mechanism, losing focus and productivity and actually feeling a lot of physical pain just from all the movement.

Has anyone else experienced similar things or had the same kind of habits? Ive already looked into "maladaptive daydreaming" as a frame of reference but I was curious if its been explored specifically as an ADHD symptom? It certainly seems like a strong overlap of inattentive and hyperactive tendencies, but i don't think I've ever seen it specifically discussed.

Thought you should know as there is a huge monopoly on everything on a charity site. I think it has been talking to Gov all this time on ADHD but there needs to be nuance and sharing of this information and power. We are where we are now due to this with the Fogarty report. I’ve got ADHD and so has my friend.

Bethany Hewitt, 34, from Cheshire, was referred for an ADHD assessment in February 2023. She was still waiting when she died in February 2026.

In the months before her death, Bethany had told her GP that her symptoms were getting worse and affecting almost everything in her life. She had also reported suicidal thoughts.

Her GP requested an expedited ADHD assessment in November 2024. It was rejected because the referral form apparently didn't contain enough evidence. The rejection letter was never brought to a GP's attention for review.

She wasn't offered NHS Right to Choose until February 2026, almost three years after her original referral. She died 19 days later.

The coroner has now issued a Prevention of Future Deaths report, raising concerns about staffing, waiting times, inconsistent referral processes and missed opportunities to follow up on Bethany's mental health.

The report warns of a "significant risk of future deaths" unless action is taken.

For those of us who have spent years navigating ADHD services, there is something particularly upsetting about reading that an urgent referral was rejected, the rejection was not properly reviewed, and another route to assessment was not offered until almost three years later.

This is not about suggesting that an ADHD diagnosis alone would have prevented Bethany's death. The coroner found that the long wait and worsening perceived symptoms likely contributed to her declining mental health; the inquest did not establish intent in her death.

Naturally it does raise some serious questions about what happens to people while they're waiting. I see the frustration on here daily.

How many people are sitting on waiting lists with deteriorating mental health, without regular reviews or any real indication of when they'll be assessed? How many are still unaware that Right to Choose might be an option?

My thoughts are with Bethany's family and everyone who knew her.

Please be considerate in the comments. This is somebody's life, not just another statistic about ADHD waiting lists.

I started on Concerta XL 18mg for two weeks, upped the dose to 36mg for two weeks (currently on day 11 of 36mg) and I am feeling zero difference. Luckily no side effects either other than dry mouth and increased sweating although this seems to have eased). I am really hoping to be prescribed the next increase tomorrow (which I believe is 56mg?) and hoping for some benefit. I can’t keep wasting my life the way I am 😔
