I am unfortunately suffering with what I believe is PFS.
I took it for 120-130 days Jan 18th 2017 till May some time.
I took it around the same time I trialled a medication called Lamictal/Lamotrigine.
I have a dual diagnosis of ADHD/(something worse). I was dx with ADHD at 26 it was pretty damn obvious. I was a fool for missing it.
I like ADHD meds but hate 3/4 of them... As they caused hair loss. I eventually tried it with spiro cream and it probably saved my degree (and hard work and ignoring the bullshit).
Anyways.... I did very badly on Lamictal, in terms of side effects. Hair Loss was extreme Hence, I switched from one generic to the next.
Trying to avoid excipients like Lactose, I switched around brands.
I tried it in September 2016 till October. And on and off till April's end. And I was on Finasteride till May.
Incidentally, Lamicta which was used for mood and anxiety and depression, but the hair loss was maddening.
I was in a "Catch-22" situation, and thought I'd help myself... I lost hair with the Lamictal, wanted to keep its benefits and added finasteride* and later minoxidil* --> substantially worsening my issues.
-Previously I was on Asthma inhalers, Dexedrine, and S5 (Spiro cream for hair -- and it worked for my then minor loss.
-This became Inhalers (fine), Finasteride (poison), Lamictal (fine if it wasn't for hair loss), and CBD, Medical marijuana, other stuff I tried occassionally. Mostly my probs were finasteride tho... taken for vanity of course. I was fine before this, at least looks wise and physically (inside probably never have been "fine").
If I follow the Regiment/ outline a.k.a.'s Cdnut's Outline.... Can I eventually use Dexedrine (my ADHD medication again)?
While I hate pharma... and it's ruined my life at times (from late teens to 21 years old -- Effexor) and more recently... there are exceptions for me.
I feel ADHD meds were a godsend in many ways. My ADHD is pretty severe.
I am trying a brief water fast right now. I've been doing intermittent fasting with increased intensity much of the last decade. And it helped me get lean and fitter. I lost 70lb between 16 and 18 years old.
I know many don't believe in ADHD - but stimulants are some of the only drugs that have ever helped me. If I was on them instead of being misdiagnosed, I'd be 5-7 years ahead of where I am right now. My misdiagnosis when I was 20 years old was near fatal in effect.
Now, I'm dealing with PFS too.... I'll try a water fast 10 days or so. Then cycle the herbs I can afford for now (perhaps 4-5), and then reintroduce food slowly, starting with vegetables and then more Meat + Fats + Veg. That's usually what I ate, I think relatively close to Paleo. Although I always kept carbs low... but may need them as I just had stomach surgery (an abdominoplasty)... and I need to add a lot of weight.
Has anyone recovered and started to use a legitimately necessary Psychiatric or Cognitive medication like ADHD stimulants?
-Can I recover from PFS and use Dexedrine, Nicotine (vaping!), Caffeine at the same time or at least eventually.
I regret to inform you... but even before finasteride - I was a mess...In a way Stimulants saved my life from illegal drugs and mediocrity... and terrible self-destruction (but its not enough... Hence why I tried the mood stabilizer to fight my dual diagnosis,
