Do you feel like you have no mind left?

I cannot use my head when it's demanded of me; only when I'm ready. I totally couldn't function in school but I want to go back eventually (but of course without my parents or anyone putting pressure on me to succeed). Before it was jsut ADD or what I believe is ADD/understimulation. Now it's depression/anxiety/ineptness/scatterbrainedness that is not ADD/whatever you want to call it. When my problem was just ADD or whatever, I was on Celexa (40mg) and now I just started on something else, an over-the-counter sort of antidepressant, which takes just as long to work as if I went back on the Celexa so I gues I'll wait and see what works best?

Sometimes I get so stressed out that I can't think. It usually comes and goes. Good luck. I hope the pressure eases up.

I hate myelf for going off the antidepressants. I jsut made it worse. I thought I would make it better becuase I would be aay from people who were all about succes and work and how they never wanted me to make the mistakes they made by not finishin college. But there was still understimulation; we weren't always doing something exciting. And then I got a horrible withdrawal from the antidepressants and now I feel like I can't use my head for anything anymore.

did you cold turkey? these drugs should never be stopped abruptly. Even if you taper you will have withdrawal symptoms that last for months.

I hope it's just that. I hope everything's perfect after this.


The f*****g scary thing is that my shrink denied I have ADD so I guess I'm just a spoiled brat that doesn't want to work or what? Or should I have been on a higher dose of the antidepressants because it was depression causing the inability to do anything?

try omega 3's, b complex, magnesium, and a multivitaman and multimineral supp. should help.

i recommed seeing a naturopath if you have the resources. they are really the only doctors capable of dealing with mental issues once psych drugs have been invovled.

Perhaps it is just excess creativity, which can be harnessed through writing, and balanced by exercise.

All my life I have thought I had a sort of defective ADD brain, but now I am beginning to wonder if the ADD brain is defective at all. What is wrong with having high energy and liking a lot of variety?
