What psych meds have you been on?

Venlafaxine HCL to manage anxiety at work and curb my weird ass symptoms I get when overwhelmed by sensory bombardment as I attempt complex tasks at a fast place surrounded by gregarious vulgar and very loud men. Weird ass = itching, burning on hands and arms, scalp/hair pain, increased clumsiness, nausea, stomach so tight for so long my ribs start to cramp, resting state clenched jaw, increased difficulty confirming data from paper to screen and visa versa, a completely blasted short term memory, strange elation from a body high.
They are weening me off of gabapenton, due to the increased frequency of dizziness. But the new drug makes me weak, and makes it even more difficult to sleep. Slows me down enough to where I am no better at job performance than before. Still fear freaking and quitting another job. (Over 40 of them over the last 27 years)

Way too many throughout the years

Been on zoloft for depression for 7 years. I maybe noticed a slight improvement in the first year but since then I feel like it's doing nothing. I was a minor at the time I started it and had I been mature enough to understand that my depression is external or 'circumstantial' and not caused by a spontaneous chemical imbalance in the brain, I would never have taken any medication. I still want to get off it but it's hard to justify that to doctors when I'm still depressed. Doctors just don't understand my depression. Pills will never cure it because I don't like particular life circumstances. Pills can't change that.
