Oh, boy, are we not liking the Aderal! We didn't like it when she was on it in junior high, we don't like it now. She's called her psychiatrist and left a message about it. Hopefully we can get it changed before we all go insane. Icky bad stuff! It's like meth in pill form. Horrible horrible horrible! She's bouncing off the walls on it ... that is until it wears off. Then it's crash and burn. She gets grumpy and mouthy and just all around nasty. Do not like the Aderal. Not at all.

She saw her psychiatrist yesterday. Good visit. They've decided to ween her off of the Prozac now. She goes back in 2 weeks to see how she's adjusting to that & may take her completely off it then. They've also put her on a BioProgesterone capsule & Aderal (for ADD) to go along with the progesterone cream & GABBA complex she's already taking. She's happy and very confident about it.

And she starts her new job today as a computer lab tech at the University. Hooray!
