im 24 now. 17 when i 1st took meds.
my reason for starting antidepressants was, basically i let kids bother me too much at school. my grades were horrible, and i just felt like meds could help me. i was put on cymbalta and adderall. for about the 1st month on adderall i was pretty much sped up all the time and feeling fantastic. i felt confident, and my grades went from D's and F's to A's and B's. after that month, everything went to hell. i could not stay a whole day in school because i would start crying for no reason and just feel so bad and would have to go home. from then on, i have just been a mess. a bit better at time when i would find a med that would help. but i never found a med that helped bring me back to my normal ability of functioning, so then i would try another med only to get messed up even more. right now, i have hardly any legitimate emotions because i feel so blank. my ability to feel pleasure went from a 100(normal) to about a 10. confused all the time. serious lack of motivotion. hair falls out about twice as fast. my muscles in my face flex and twitch on their own.the worst meds for me were adderall, effexor, mirapex, and buspar. and i had my thyroid checked about a year ago and it was fine. but i'm thinking about going back to the doc and seeing if there are other things they can check, like if my body absorbs all vitamins correctly.
