The medication has stopped brain noise and made me more mellow, but it's affecting those around me and I don't know how I feel about it...
I have been reading through threads and seeing others who have experienced similar things, but most threads are very short.
I have ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety. I had a super hyperactive mind that was constantly paranoid. I could not sit in the living room without feeling like someone is going to break in, or that the nukes of WWIII were about to drop on my head. I would constantly stress and think of the worst case scenario, and it would never stop, just constant chatter and all of it was negative.
With that said, I was very bubbly and outgoing, loved talking to people, and people loved my personality and who I was... Now I'm on 300mg and my brain is quiet unless I actively try to think about something. I feel so much peace now because I'm no longer thinking of my impending doom and how I'm about to be killed, or my life is about to fall apart, or I'll lose my job, etc etc. But I now have this very blank expression, and I'm sort of just... there. And though I like what it's done, all of my friends and my partner have noticed how dissociated I am and how i'm different... And now I'm worried i'm going to lose my partner and friends because I'm not the person who I was before. My ethics and morals are the same, I am still very much me internally, just externally I seem different... I don't know what to do...
I am considering talking to my Dr. about it, but really the only reason I'd change the meds is because others are being affected... I actually like what it's doing for me, and I am relieved to have the noise stop. I don't think others knew how bad my mental was when I was being so bubbly... I'm just at a loss...
