Drugs to empty/calm a loud, ruminating mind

Posted by bigcat on October 28, 2005, at 12:23:35

I'm currently taking Nardil and Adderall which have elevated my mood significantly, but I have this latent symptom where my mind is always talking to itself. There are persistant, cluttered thoughts resembling obsessive thinking (I'm guessing??), but my main issue is that I'm always envisioning myself talking to certain people and imagining/planning what I'm going to say, and hearing how I'll sound in my head, envisioning my speech impressing people. It's basically not living and reacting in the moment. (I literally talk to myself, anticipating situations and questions I may come across, and designing a word for word response).

I don't have the "empty" or peaceful mind which reacts spontaneosly without fear of fluidity or clarity. I'm too aware and caught up with myself, and feel like I'm on a stage when it comes time to speak my obsessively REHEARSED ideas. I guess I would consider it a loud, ruminating, and anticipatory voice in my head which I consider my own, not something from the outside. Any med suggestions to combat this symptom? It's blocking the peace of an empty, quiet mind.
