Okay. So months after I try yet another med combo and assess the trajectory of my life, it is really undeniable that I have processing problems and a slowness of processing that medicine doesn't address yet. I am trying to find my own techniques to address this, as science has shown the brain can be improved.
The sad reality is that I don't think I can do this without medicine. I am not just looking for a pill to get super-phenomenal concentration abilities, I'm looking to get on level-ground, to wake up and take for granted that my mind can tackle conversations etc. Albeit, I have done well in school and am at a good uni., but I am always afraid that I or another will find out that I cannot achieve this level of life, that my concentration prevents me from functioning at a certain level of thinking, of working of relating to people.
Right now, I am on tegretol and wellbutrin (just switched from xr to 300 xl and eventually will be at 450 xl). I'm not looking for advice to replace that of my doctor, I'm sort of at my last ditch here. What I find out about my mind or what my mind cannot be will determine where I apply my effort, what disappointments I will have to accept without even trying.
The reason I mention facing the impossible before discovering that the impossible is impossible because there might be biological inevitabilties and I would face the same realization that I have today in twenty years of unsuccessful career pursuits.
So, my question(s):
Has anyone come across any research on more inattentive type attention deficits? Anyone have any idea of what better combo of drugs or what drugs might work effectively for this type?
