I'm just 28 and I'm not on meds.
In these days I have trouble in speaking and in short-term memory. I'm wondering if they can be syntoms of depression or if have to see a neurologist. I'm depressed for sure but I can't remember that I had this syntoms in the past when I was depressed. Anyway, I'm not sad, just flat. I have also problems in following a conversation and I have moments of confusion. I don't feel anxious anyway. The whole thing started after a period of short antidepressants' trials, but I quit the last one five weeks ago. I quit also the xanax three days ago 'cause I thought it was contributing but nothing has changed. I have no idea of what is happening to me, and I don't know what to do in the future.I have to see a new p-doc but I'm afraid of taking antidepressants because they make me irritable and I'm afraid of taking anticonvulsivant because I'm afraid they'll make me dumb. My self diagnosis is ADHD but I can't get stimulant where I live, and moreover, I may be in the bipolar spectrum.
I'm also afraid of taking antidepressants because I have prostatis and they're likely to worsen my syntoms. At the moment I suffer from this condition of severe premature ejaculation and mild erectile dysfunction.
Any comment is welcome
