> They shouldn't, but they can make you very focused, and if TV is what's available, then I guess that might become your focus. You can change your focus, though, as Utopizen suggested.

umm... yeah, at work i couldn't concentrate and generally found things unpleasant... and had to quit... but hobbies i'm able to concentrate on better.... if i have to wait for a bus i don't go quite as insane

SSRIs, or better yet MAOIs, make me a lot happier but i can't hold down a job ........ or wait at a red light!

stimulants make me concentrate a little better and make me a little bit happier ... but since stopping parnate (an antidepressant) it's been getting harder and harder to get out of bed, shower, cook, get dressed, etc and i'm thinking there is a lot of room for improvement .. like i used to have hopes and plans for the future, now everyday living just seems like a struggle

okay i think i'm going to print out this message and hope my pdoc takes the time to read it
