  2. Stop, Drop and Roll For Emotional Fires Aims To Prevent Suicide

    Bryan Johnson

    It always seemed like Regina Renaye Kinney, now 41, had it all as a smart, successful businesswoman. But for years, very few people knew that she was mired in the depths of a serious depression. “I would hide through my achievements and good grades and good jobs,” she recalls. “But I was really masking. On the inside, I was miserable.” The disconnect between her inner self and what she projected to the world felt unbearable and drove her to multiple suicide attempts […]

  6. CW: Mental health recovery update: work; meds: depression, anxiety; ADHD, executive dysfunction, neurodivergent burnout

    Hey folks 👋

    For those who don't already know, we're currently signed off work due to depression, anxiety, and burnout.

    Our employer is supportive, but there are multiple, fundamental, ongoing issues with the organisation that no amount of individual support can resolve. We cannot go into more detail.

    During the last 2 and a bit weeks, we've done a mixture of resting and doing tasks we've been meaning to do for ages, but neither had the time nor spoons to do.

    We're still on 200 mg sertraline (an SSRI) daily, but we've made the switch from taking 150 mg bupropion (an NDRI) daily alongside to 40 mg atomoxetine (an sNRI, not an SNRI) daily alongside. We're slowly titrating up to the recommend 80 mg dose.

    As we came off the bupropion steadily, we definitely felt it (i.e., mood; executive function; energy etc.), but the effects are levelling off as our atomoxetine dose steadily increases.

    The bupropion had helped us for a while, both with our mental health and some ADHD struggles, but could only do so much. As such, we decided to make the unorthodox switch to atomoxetine.

    Bupropion is an atypical NDRI and antidepressant: it boosts noradrenaline and dopamine (to a lesser extent). However, it's only prescribed off licence for ADHD, as it's not been shown to be effective. Atomoxetine, conversely, is mainly used to treat ADHD in people who do not respond well to stimulants, such as methylphenidate. It directly boosts noradrenaline and indirectly boosts dopamine in the prefrontal cortex by a decent amount.

    Since we do not tolerate any stimulants well (even caffeine), atomoxetine is our best bet in terms of an ADHD med that also helps with our mental health.

    Unlike bupropion, it doesn't have any major interactions with sertraline (only moderate), and we can take 40 mg propranolol tablets alongside to help keep our anxiety under control, rather than turning straight to 10 mg diazepam tablets.

    So far, we're doing well with the switch, both physically and mentally, but it'll be a while before we know for sure whether this the ideal medication combination.

    We are still very much in low power recovery mode, so don't expect anything much or consistent from us.

    A last note to sign this off: from the above listed drugs, the only one we can currently get via the NHS is sertraline. We may be able to get atomoxetine through the NHS in the future, but that's dependent on us ever actually getting a formal ADHD diagnosis 😮‍💨 The waiting lists are rather long... even when using the Right To Choose a mental health service provider.

    Apologies for any typos.
