A warning/ "Of course" I whine(Update)
5 years ago
There's been some issue with my meds. I talk with the psych tomorrow. Honestly, I don't want to get rid of the adhd meds. So whether he tells me "suck it up, buttercup" and no more adhd meds, we push with my current regime(at max dosage with 2 of the meds) or I start over in the depression and anxiety medication department.
There is potential that may throw me back in areas I can't predict.
My current plan of action is to scan everything I have done and post them every so often, unsure of the schedule yet. My plan had become "just draw for a month", post sketch dumps every so often on a schedule with any illustrations getting they're own submission. Now I'm tempted to leave even sketches individual submission to have some extra backlog buffer room.
Within reason, obviously I wouldn't post say a single gestural sketch.
The goal to eventually begin being active on various sites, work on that first step in the whole sociability thing. FA being the first site, then eventually a few others. Slow and steady, as they say, slow and steady.
I plan to update/edit this sometime between Friday and Sunday. So I can give you guys something more solid.
Update: Some of you more familiar with psychiatry may have found my fears overblown. May need to do some cognitive excercises to try and reign in the anxiety. Once I told him I wanted to remain on the adhd meds he was willing to work with me(after questioning the whys, "What are the benefits you're seeing?"). There is one dosage lower, so we lowered it, if that doesn't work another medication will be added to this mess.
I also bought a mouthguard I use when the jaw-clenching and teeth-grinding (or hair-chewing, finger chewing, shirt-chewing...) acts up. I will say it feels like a kick in the teeth that adding one medication would throw me so far back in the anxiety department, and not only bring back old tics, but gives me a few new ones for good measure. I knew there was a risk, but didn't expect this.
There is a back-up if this lower doseage doesn't work, that isn't just "drop the meds", I am grateful for that.
