I have been off of Zoloft for over a month. I feel better, less tired and sluggish. Weight still hasn't dropped, though. : )
Getting off solved some attentional problems, but I'm seeing problems with follow-through and motivation that I'm beginning to suspect are life-long. (For example, I remember at 13 my twin and I each waited until the night before to draw a map of the world for Geography class, for example -- we even had to make our mom drive us to the Osco Drug for supplies at like 9 pm!)
How can I tell if this is due to depression or ADD? I'm starting to wonder if I have been in denial about the ADD thing -- as friends around me are pushing me to consider that I have it.
I guess I have trouble believing it because I have no trouble learning -- I have a 'quick' mind -- but only in motivation and sustaining attention.
