Meds

Anyone ever have issues with taking meds like feeling numb? I take 4 now and they're prescribed for anxiety and depression and i feel like they've taken away who i am, well, who i was.

I once had to take a drug call risperidone, but i stopped taking it after about a week, because it made me so spaced-out, i was totally scrambled. Apparantly i looked it as well, so i stopped taking it, because it didnt work for me.

I think though, that if you've only just started the tablets, then the symptoms might fade?

take care, irisanne XxXxXxx

Been on them for over a couple months

I think if you are nto happy with them then you need to see a doctor about changing them. i presonally dont really agree with them. i was meant to be going on meds but i didnt see the popint when eventually you have to come off them.

if you think they are making you wrose then stop them or try a while without them and see how you feel then? xx

The doctors prescribe you things because they think that its a chemical thing so the chemicals in your body are reacting differently than they would normally so in a sense, they made a version of you. Make sense? Also, what they most likely gave you was a mild sedative, pretty much a very weak tranquilizer to dilute the depressive, anxious thoughts you have.

It depends on who you are. I have meds for anxiety and depression, and they help me. For some people they have different effects.

Idk it's helping me but at the same time it's hurting
they're doing their job but so well that i can't feel that part of me that used to feel

Talk to a doctor about testing your dosage to see if you can lower it so you still feel those good feelings and what you said you "used to feel" I'm sure if you explain to them they will work with you.

I personally don't like taking my meds. I'm on meds for schizoaffective disorder and what really sucks is that I can't feel true happiness. On the plus side I don't get super depressed but after a while you just want to feel more than just being content.

But, I'd rather be taking my medication than dealing with the ups and downs that I was dealing with before I got started on the meds. For some people, meds help, for others it doesn't, but in the end it is up to the person to decide whether they want to take the prescribed dose or not.
