I have been preoccupied by physical challenges related to a neck injury. It is difficult to cope with taking two ADHD meds plus muscle relaxants and neurontin. I am often tempted not to take all of them which in the long run is self-destructive. The good news is that I no longer have world class dry mouth from Adderal XR or any other bothersome side effects. I think it would be helpful to begin to... http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/115701/accomodations-life http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/112791/doing-much-better Fri, 28 May 2010 18:02:30 -0400 Chapter 750 I am doing much better. This is the first day I have felt really good. I am now taking some additional medication prescribed by the neurologist. I am taking Robaxin and an increased dose of Neurontin. I also went back on Klonopin. All of this is for the muscle spasms and tics.   When I am not distracted by these other symptoms I can concentrate a lot better. Also I no longer have the dry mouth and the other side effects of the... http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/112791/doing-much-better http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111683/living-2-0 Fri, 14 May 2010 16:21:29 -0400 Chapter 750 I didn't mention (because I have always been hard on myself) that part of the reason that my ADHD is worse is that I am also more distracted by other disabilities such as my eyesight, chronic pain, and neuropathy. No I do not a progressive neurological disability. I try to compensate by being mindful. But I have still piled up cuts and bruises from bumping into the furniture. Since increasing the Adderal from 20 mg QAM to an additonal 10 mg Q... http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111683/living-2-0 http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111530/disorganization Thu, 13 May 2010 01:26:50 -0400 Chapter 750 I am going to start blogging here on this subject. My house is a mess. My affairs are chaotic. This has not always been the case. I managed to complete college and grad school with excellent grades. I have also been continuously employed after I learned the required social, organizational, and political skills required. Although I am now out on leave for physical disabilities. Although I'll admit to a messy desk and being hyper and impulsive at... http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111530/disorganization http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111002/vocal-muscle-spasms Wed, 05 May 2010 23:09:42 -0400 Chapter 750 My ADHD is well controlled on Adderal and Tenex. Now I have vocal tics and muscle spasms. People say I sound like Stephen Hawking. Does speech therapy and muscle relaxants work. The docs think tics and adhd are related. http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/c/317363/111002/vocal-muscle-spasms
