In addition to ADD my husband is taking pills for High Blood Pressure, anxiety, diabetes type 2 and depression. He takes Aderall just when he needs to finish a task for a due date.

One of the biggest problems besides tardiness, procrastination, late fees, etc. He also fall in love very easy and in to occasion in the las 9 months I had discovered “Romantic letter to 2 different women” and also very deep cheese e-mail messages to ex-girls friends, ex-classmates, etc. He confessed he feels enchanted with other women (younger or older) and then is difficult for him to stop thinking about them.

I am already taking Divorce care classes. And preparing a plan B for a life with our two daughters.

Any advices?

I am having a huge problem coping at the moment. I have been on Wellbutrin and epitec for nearly two years now. I have been fine, husband says I am a new person (a nice one for the first time in my entire life!) and I am now 49.

Without writing a book here. I am crying all the time, watching movies, going into shops and then I start crying. I dont want to mix with people. I stay at home and shy away from everyone and have become a snapping, miserable (*&^%. What can I do..I cannot believe I am now feeling like this now, after two years, when I was feeling great..I feel so alone

I am a huge fan of your book. I had been med-free and doing quite well when I first read it. I thought some parts of my thinking could possibly still be classified as symptoms, just certain parts of my character. But when I read you book, I realized that even though I’d become symptom free, I wasn’t happy because I hadn’t found my niche.

I didn’t know where to fit in or how to act and the discomfort this caused me made me feel like I had issues yet to resolve. I felt somehow less than, or problematic. I realized, elatedly, that this wasn’t the case. I was fine but completely different than most around me. This was the cause of my distress. I felt fine all by myself but felt bad when unable to mesh with the world. You opened a whole new chapter to my healing by explaining how I could get around that.

Now, as far as your advice with the Ritalin, I must advise you to be cautious. To be clear, I am anti-meds and only got better when I got rid of meds and addressed my nutritional lacks, in alignment with what the reader above stated about glutathione. I addressed everything, however. Not just one nutrient. I also addressed my entire being, not just nutriton, but nutrition played the biggest part and still does

But to tell someone to take a break on weekends and then resume on weekdays, is to set them up for a disastrous roller-coaster effect.

Again, I loathe meds and suggest all on them should find a way off them, as I did, but it has to be in a very controlled, weaning fashion. It has to be steady and slow. A “break’ on weekends is all it possibly could take to cause a suicide or an outburst with heavy ramifications. These meds are so powerful and they’ve built a place in our vacuoles and every other part of us. Their absence, even for a couple of days, especially for someone who’s been on them for ten years, would potentially cause chaos.

I repeat, I am a devout fan of yours and I am devoutly anti-meds. But care and planning must be taken. I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble with “the powers that be” and I wouldn’t want harm to come to someone when that clearly was not your intent.

Guys like you and I have to tread very carefully in this one area. The machine we are up against fights back in most vicious fashion and we have to stay safe and keep our audience safe.

I hope that helps someone out there. And thanks again for your book Garret. It changed my life and I advocate it heavily to all, whom I meet, online and off.
