I started the brain medicine today.
After a particularly rough night on Thursday night, I decided I needed to seek some professional help in getting over the break up. After talking with my Psychiatrist who does my ADD medication, he put me on an anti-depressant that I was on a few years ago when I was a teenager.
The main reason I’m posting about this is that mostly I feel there’s no shame in it, but I also want to alert the people around me so that they can feel free to tell me if I’m acting differently or in ways that seem to be out of character. It took me a while to realize how when I had switched from Adderal XR to a plain Adderal tablet how it had affected my mood, and at the time, pretty much cost me my job because I was not a terribly nice person to be around. I can’t afford that right now, especially the job market the way that it is.
So, if I’m acting weird or something, don’t be afraid to let me know because I may not sense it myself.
