So, as many of you have probably noticed my posting schedule has become a little more erratic over the last few weeks, and I wanted to create a quick post to let you know why.

I have ADD, which isn't surprising to a lot of you, it's quite common these days, but what you may not realize is how bad it is. I can barely function without my meds, I'll barely get things done and most days will be a complete write off.

The problem is: About a month ago my meds just straight up stopped working; It was like I was taking a placebo. The strange thing is I've been taking the same meds for the last 15ish years and never had a problem.

As a result of this my regular schedule has been thrown into complete chaos. Even though I sit down to write at 8am like usual, sometimes I barely get a single chapter written, despite staying up 1-2 hours past the time I normally go to bed.

I think I've managed to get every TBoB chapter out, but the freemium ones? They've suffered and I've missed a couple of those.

I don't know if the quality of my chapters has been affected, based upon the number of subs I've lost over the last few weeks I suspect it has been, so I apologize.

I just got back from my doctor and hopefully the changes we made will help. Sorry for the inconvience, it's been a frustrating couple weeks and hopefully we'll be back on the regular scheudle again soon.

Thanks!

As a former medical provider and also as someone with ADD and anxiety, there’s nothing wrong with you. Stuff like this happens all the time, you made the right move in going to the doctor. It might take time and some tweaking but with patience and persistence you’ll get back to your normal self. 🥹

I’d be checking that you are getting the proper medication even if labeled correctly on the bottle, I had that happen when a med quit working. Caffeine is still the best control I’ve found but I know everyone is different so I hope you find what works.

in the use the dosage can varry per manufacture so a 5mg from one isnt 5mg from another. ive also read before some times meds stop working :/ but i dont know how true those are. appreciate the time you took to update us and with the details. from my point just look after your self first :) and foremost ! take care

That's what my doctor was saying. Generic meds can apparently be +-20% medicinal component compared to the brand name, so if I got an extemely cheap generic, that might explain the change. I got new pills today and so far they seem WAY better already. Things looking up

I nearly gave myself diabetis by drinking so much soda when I was younger, so I don't drink it much anymore, but I've heard caffine helps so maybe I'll see if I can find some caffinated drinks. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the support. Yeah, it's really strange because I've been on the same meds for 15 years and this is the first time I've had problems. I'm sure it'll be sorted out with time, I just need to work through it.

Tea and diet monsters, coffee as well but I can’t drink that because it makes me look like I have palsy
