feel sad and have no logical reason why I should feel sad and am in need of medication recommendations |
Hi all,
Yes I posted this to the ADD newsgroup, but wanted to gain others thoughts
from other newsgroups as well.
I have ADD without hyperactivity and am already pursuing medication to
alleviate the symptoms of inattention.
But I have another problrm that I am just now finding out about and seeking
to solve.
Some days I wake up and though I quickly get out of bed, I just feel like
quitting life - not suicide, but running away in search of a place that
might make me happier. Though I can find no rational for it. I'm sad and
can find no logical reason for why I should be sad. I mean, I am an
environmentalist and know that rather than running away from the world and
its problems you have to stay and work from within the system to fix them.
I also am a perfectionist, not in organization or door-locking but in how I
wish the world could be.
My therapist doesn't (yet) know about all fo this, which I will tell him
about next appointment, but he mentioned mood stabilizers.
Can anyone describe any mood stabilizers that do not make you drowsy because
I am a college student?
Can anyone recommend I ask my psychiatrist about any other types of
medication?

BTW, often this sadness makes it difficult to concentrate.

There are tons of meds out there. You could check out Nom de Plume's
,eds page.
Even when a med causes drowsiness, this is a side effect that often
goes away in time, or can be optimized by taking it at night. You just
need to have a good discussion with your therapist, and preferably
with a psychiatrist who knows about meds.

I don't know how genuine your post is, but if you are indeed genuine, then
may I suggest a name change otherwise you are going to be seen in a different
light to that intended.

ADD and depression often go together and mania (which, to my knowledge, is
always alternated with depression)and ADD can look alike.
So i think it is improtant to figure out first what is the matter before
deciding on mood stabilisers or any ohter meds. I think a real life expert
would be the best way to got.
Hope that helps (a little).
