What to read next
  • The next set of the Mistborn saga would be a natural choice. You may need a period of adjustment for the first couple of chapters--it's centuries later than the first trilogy--but I think you'll really enjoy it! Wax and Wayne are great characters.

  • Looking for squeezing recommendations per the therapist
  • There seems to be two choices: compression vests, which do come in adult sizes, and weighted vests for working out, which is what I was thinking of. It looks like you can get one at Walmart for $26 or so that can be weighted up to 110 lbs. Hope that's helpful!

  • Adderall side effects
  • I take 10mgIR in the morning and 10mgIR in the afternoon. There is appetite suppression, but not bad. The strangest side effect is sleeping in on the weekends--before Adderall, I hadn't been able to sleep past 7 for many years. Now, I can easily sleep until noon. There are much worse side effects, but it's bit annoying to waste a good portion of my day off sleeping.

  • Free therapy
  • Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.

    Don't get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don't realize this.

  • Why do my cats like this toy?
  • No idea about your cars, but my cats? Because they can eat them when I don't feel them fast enough in the morning and then I have to the vet because they can't yak them up or pass them.

    I love the little gremlins, but they are both bonded rescue cats that have pica or something.

  • Medication holiday
  • Seriously, I doubt any doctor would recommend a patient with depression to take a "medication holiday."

    I appreciate that some doctors are concerned that a med will lose its effectiveness because of tolerance, but can happen with any medication. That's also why there are multiple medications on the market.

  • What are the best apps for managing ADHD?
  • Habitica for daily tasks (I like the RPG feel), gobin.tools for breaking down tasks into manageable increments, and the pomodoro app Focus To-Do to keep momentum. I use a paper calendar for appointments and dates and index cards to keep track of tasks that don't have a specific date involved.

  • What could have impacted Adderall effectivity?
  • Just a guess based on my experience with Adderall: for me, Adderall primes the "motivation" pump, but I need to have a direction for the flow or I go all over the place. You were directing the flow until you went on vacation, and then you were still taking the meds, but there wasn't the impetus to direct the flow. (And, there shouldn't have been--you were on vacation!)

    So, in addition to other suggestions, could the following week been getting readjusted to directing the flow? I'm glad it was a temporary issue, though!
