Wow, so much going on here.
You said it started at 18-I was thinking, after reading all this, google schitzotypy and read Wiki. I don't mean schitzophrenia, or anything psychosis related. See if you relate.You might have better luck trying antipsychotics. From what you wrote, the ones you tried gave you some benefits.
Not that its not from stimulants, but it might be worth a try to go towards drugs that target negative effects of schitzophrenia. Those symptoms are really hard to treat. Any relatives with schitzophrenia?Think about this-catatonia, an extreme vegetative like state, is treated with SEDATIVES. Maybe dopamine dysfunction produces the opposite effect-over stimulation-in your case. So even if its blah, could it be over stimulation??
The ritalin might have worked temporarily, just like cocaibe produces a high in people with no mental condition.And schitzoypy is not a diagnosis, just thinking out of the box. Hope you find relief sooner than later.
