unexpected info from a psychologist
Private
World famous



he told me that new research published shows that one of my allergy medications that I've been on most of my adult life (like, probably 5-7 years) can cause MOST of the issues I was seeing the psychologist about.

AND THE FDA ONLY FIRST MADE A STATEMENT IN MARCH 2020
so no wonder no one caught it - they had no idea to look

"Of the over 19,000 reports of adverse events that FDA has received since the drug’s approval in 1998, more than 10,000 of those reports have been about psychiatric or nervous system adverse events. They included aggression, irritability, agitation, disorientation, attention disturbances, stuttering, hallucinations, insomnia, memory impairment, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even suicide.  More than 7,000 of those adverse events are considered serious, and they occurred almost equally in adults and children."

Oh it works fucking great, I have to take it with Zyrtec to get the full effects of each med
I'm really goddamned sad I'll have to stop taking it.

but I also am now medicated for my ADHD and amphetamines have this cool side effect of helping with allergies, so hopefully I'll be okay in the end.
Kentucky is a NIGHTMARE for allergies

Oh okay. Have you considered immuno therapy? It worked well the first time for me and I'm doing a second one like 16 years after the first one.

I mean its probably an option. I am with different, much more competent doctors than I was back when I first moved here and got my medication.

y'all I'm reading the FDA stuff and they literally don't even prescribe this for allergies anymore unless your allergies resist all other treatments 
why did no one reassess my medication when the literal rules for prescribing it changed

@Claire turns out I'm not autistic my medication just made my brain shit itself 
i also just got a doctor telling me that i might have mild autism along with the severe adhd 

my issue tho is that

here ill copypaste what i said in startalk:

autistic things i dont think i do that i thought were necesssary for being autistic:
selective mutism
eye contact issues
issues maintaining friendships and shyness and social anxiety
masking or like putting up a front to seem more normal
delayed development (but the doctor said that aspbergers types often have precocious speech development which i did)
not like understanding metaphor and taking things literally

things i do for sure that are super autistic:
hyperfixations special interests -hoarding collections related to special interests
sensory overload and sensory issues
picky eating to the extreme
not realizing the vibe in the room until a bit too late and literally thinking im friends with someone who hates me actually lmfao 
fuckin huge emotional meltdowns at the end of a long day
adherence to routine (for example i cannot ride the train without headphones i just cant ill be late if i cant find my headphones)

so anyway the doctor wants me to try a medicine thats for autistic people since none of the medicine for adhd ive tried has done anything for me

and im STILL on fucking venlafaxine since 2007 and not depressed anymore. im thinking i should come off this shit before trying anything else. but she (dr) wants to make sure my like emotional outbursts are under control before taking me off an antidepressant

I mean when I got my ADHD diagnosis it was because I was misdiagnosed bipolar and when I got a second opinion they said that mild bipolar and severe ADHD are very very similar in presentation.
