Right now I'm not on 'anything,' due to a hard time starting up serzone again. I'm gonna wait a few more days to let zoloft clear.
BUT, I feel so much more 'with it' and present that I feel mournful about my year on Zoloft.
My partner was always upset, taking it personally that I didn't remember things I told her. My THERAPIST, who knew me long before, was starting to doubt me when I told her that I had _never_ had troubles in school or had an ADHD dx.
NOTHING IMPORTANT THAT I'VE WANTED TO GET DONE THIS YEAR HAS GOTTEN DONE!
I can't believe I was on this drug this whole time. It had some terrible side effects for me. And why did I stay on it? Because I went to a general practicioner, not a psychiatrist, and she did not believe me when I said I was having the symptoms of poor concentration and low motivation. She just patted my hand and wanted me to stay on.
I should have taken the bull by the horns and gone to a better doctor. But I didn't. WHY? Because the DAMN DRUG made me so malleable.
Oh, I weep for my lost year. ONE WHOLE YEAR.
