I’ve been reading blogging by Scicurious (formerly of Neurotopia at Science Blogs, now at a blog called either “Neurotic Psychology” or “Scicurious”, I’m not sure which. She’s a post-doc in neuroscience, and she has posted in the past about various psychoactive medications and how they work. She writes about the two major classes of ADHD drugs, [...] About six months ago I wrote here and at Well-Ordered about a very nasty shock I received at the dentist: a whopping SEVEN $#%^&@ING CAVITIES. Twice as many cavities as I’d had in my adult life thus far. All of them between my teeth. Getting those filled was no picnic, I assure [...] I also wrote about this at Well-Ordered Chaos, but it’s REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT so I want to post it here too. An article in Science News reports that Adderall XR is very dangerous to cats. While most cats, most of the time, are pretty good at not poisoning themselves, there’s something about Adderall XR that they [...] Journalist Ethan Watters was on The Daily Show last week, talking about this new book “Crazy Like Us: the Globalization of the American Psyche.” In it he questions the usefulness of the American biomedical model of mental illness when its applied to the rest of the world. John Stewart jokes that this might be a [...] I just spent an hour and a half getting four cavities filled. All of them were between my teeth.

As a result, I have now spent 45 minutes calling every pharmacy in town, looking for one that carries Vyvanse in 60 mg denominations. So far, nobody has it. And the place where I got it last [...] I’m leaving town for the holidays next week. Before I leave town I need to make copies of several keys, touch base with cat-sitters, and hopefully get my hair cut. I had a major deadline yesterday, another major deadline tomorrow, and another on Thursday. I have to go to a holiday party [...] I’ve blogged before about the seasonal aspects of my ADD. Unsurprisingly, things have been even worse since the return to Standard Time (ptui!) and the loss of another hour of light in the afternoon. I’ve been more tried, more hungry, more spacey … and paradoxically, less able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. “Attention” [...] I love coffee. Anyone who has known me since high school knows that I love coffee. I’ve always had trouble getting going in the morning, and coffee was the only thing that would get me functional. In the all-day seminars for my master’s degree, I was known for arriving with a cup of coffee, and [...] |
