Dear MaryZee,
I am not sure about the "drugged effect." There will probably be other responses to your post from others who know more about that particular side-effect. The "don't care what's going one" thing might be "depersonalization" something I"ve read about here, but not experienced myself.
I think you should be under the care of a pdoc. Meds are their biz and it's just my personal thing that psych drugs should be managed by psych-drug docs.
At least your not feeling anxious! I'm having a different sort of effect these last two days--I'm very emotional and weepy! Nowhere near as "up" as I was last week, but not really depressed or anxious, either, just emotional.
There are bound to be bumps in the road as we experiment with these strong meds, so hang in there. Call your doctor anytime youfeel like you need the help, information or support.Oh, by the way, I have a heck of a time managing this message board, too! This is the first time I"ve participated in a message board and I find it confusing as hell. I think part of the problem is that no one really knows how to manage it and doesn't follow the threads so massages tend to end up in all sorts of places. So don't feel like the lone ranger. I found it helpful to check that box about being notified by e-mail of new postings and then when your e-mail box FILLS up with "new posting from psycobabble" you can click on any that seem to pertain to you and it will take you right there. Just play with it and you will find out how to get around. Thats what I did. Although I must say, I sometimes still cant get where I'm wanting to go...
Let me know what your doctor says and think about getting a psychiatrist. Some are better than others, but meds ARE their biz...
Good luck, let us know how you are doing...hopefully others who know more about the reaction you are having will respond, too.
