You're not likely to have the energy to do anything beyond lounging around for at least a week or two, I'd plan on taking at least a month off work.

Pretty much.

It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

It varies in practice. Most people I see using identify, including many trans people, are well-intentioned and think it's the preferred polite language without thinking too hard on the implications of it.

However there are definitely anti-trans people who will use it pejoratively, which I presume is where that wording originated.

This is a common side effect.

When I previously looked into that, there's no literature on taking both. However I hear for some people that guanfacine alone is sufficient.

When I was on it I found it helped with distraction, but not task initiation, and the various dosages made no difference. Given that and some of the side effects I ended up going off it.

Guanfacine handled the task initiation for me, but not the distraction.

This is called the "bus rule" around here, you don't sit beside someone if there's a still a set of seats you can have to yourself.

I'd be more worried if they did sit beside you, as that'd be considered a bit creepy.

The downside is that the adverse effects of the meds can prevent you from being able to do much, so its about finding just the right dosage for your body.
