Today is my titration day. I started my journey by a video call with a psychiatrist. He asked me questions and gave me his thoughts at the end. I was right “you’ve got ADHD”. I thought I was lazy and disorganised… I’d never amount to anything etc etc. one year on from that day I’ve just been signed off psychiatry UK’s support and I’m out in the big wide world. I had ups and downs with my medication, trying to find the correct dosage. Unfortunately I’m a fainter (always have been), so this played with me for a while. I am now on the correct dosage, which my prescriber worked hard to get to me there, taking note of every thing I said and every side effect no matter how big or small. He was a message away whenever I had a question or I needed anything and would reply rapidly. My life is now completely different. I used to nap for most of the day and then all night ( I was always feeling tired), I used to have a high dosage of antidepressants, mood swings, impulsive etc… I have now had a step up at work, my house is always tidy, I never need a nap, my life is organised and I haven’t needed an antidepressant since. I can honestly say this is the best service I have ever received and I’m over the moon. Thank you to my psychiatrist and prescriber… both of which have changed my life.
