My mother keeps pushing me to take an ADD test to see if I indeed have ADD. Then if I do….I take more medicine.
Pills pills pills.
What else can be possibly wrong with me?
I see my therapist in a few minutes…I should ask.

Ugh, I SO relate to this. I am so sick of all the medication they put me on. First I have depression, then schizophrenia, then ADHD, then anxiety, what’s next?! I took myself off all my medication recently (except for schizophrenia… I admit I need that), and I felt no change. Actually, I felt better. They keep trying to fix me by loading me with drugs and upping my doses with out stopping to wonder if anything is actually wrong with me. I am not AT ALL recommending that you do this, I’m just saying.
Oh man, I’m glad I’m not alone at least. Hey there’s nothing wrong with admitting to needing help, whether from a person or medications. I wish you luck in your journey through this darkness.
Since it isn’t official, I don’t know if I’ll be put on another medication, but just the thought of it makes my brain hurt.

I’m sorry you guys are going through this. I work in a large chain pharmacy but you guys and so many others are the reason that I want to get out of pharmacy work. I know it can help many people but the over diagnosing of patients and all these pill companies getting really sweet with insurance companies and doctors (what? You didn’t think your dr takes unasked for perks from Pfizer? Totally doesn’t affect his dosing decisions either.) everyone is bound to have one of the many bs “diseases” or “illnesses” in the new DSM (the book of officially recognized ” diseases”). Back in the day, people were unhappy and were much more free to travel or do what was necessary to be better. Now it’s called Mental illness and the drug companies, doctors and insurance companies win billions. Your doctors have treated you like
Guinea pigs and I’m sorry that our medical system has such shitty agendas behind medicine that’s supposed to help you help yourself. I highly encourage you both to read up on all the chemicals out there in the food, water and air, in order to help supplement your bodies against the chemical bombardment of our bodies.
Yeah I totally hear you here. It’s funny because I’m in Seroquel, which apparently is for treating bipolar disorder. It helps me stay asleep (even though my sleeping sucks stil and I’m tired all dayl) so I don’t complain too much. I’m glad at least one person in the pharmacy department is aware told this. And yeah….researching about chemicals in things as harmless as our food (or is it?) can be scary. I will admit that my blood work had said that I have low vitamin D, so I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that plays a role in my issues.
Good luck out there, and I hope you’re able to work somewhere that makes you happy.
