I've been on medication for about a week now and I've not thought about offing myself once since starting. That seems dramatic but honestly that used to be the default go-to answer for any problem that couldn't be resolved within a day or so. Seems a bit excessive of a response to problems now.. It really looks like my depression might be rooted in undiagnosed ADHD.
I can also if not properly focus on tasks at least force myself to finish whatever I'm working on before wandering off. I'm going to give it another week then ask for a bump on the dosage to see if that helps that one
Negatives:
Sweating a bunch, especially at night. Then again we are just about cruising into summer and in my old place I had aircon so that might be unrelated, but it is a possible side effect.
Appetite seems to have taken a hit too. While I am fully for that (I could lose a bit of weight no bother) I will keep an eye on it
Due to covid restrictions I've not been seen for talky therapy or anything yet, this is purely medicinal treatment currently but it's been a MASSIVE positive move for me
