My boyfriend has been is taking meds for ADD over 2 years already but he started a new medication. One of the things that i always admired on him is (or was)that he is a sensitive man, but it also brings him pain because he feel bad for the people suffering in the world and take everything serious. He gets hurt and sad easily, but in the other hand he is like no other man. He treats women with alot of respect, has no macho man bone on him. and whenever I am sad he notices it, and try to help me with such sweet details but since he started taking his new medication I've noticed a change, he is becoming like a normal guy. He doens't notices if I need a hug, or if I'm feeling bad, he doesn't call like he used to and say the most romantics things. He told me that since he has been taking that medicine, he hasn't been as sensitive as before. He doesn't take things as seriously and feel more connected to the world, where in the other hand I'm feeling like I'm loosing him though we haven't have fights nadhe says he loves me, but he is not the same.What do ya'll think?
I might sound selfish, but so you all know, I want the best for him, the pain to go away even if it means he changin for his best and me loosing him. God I want him to do so well, to be better.

I really don't know what to say. You pretty much summed up what i thought in the second post. Your boyfriend kind of sounds like me. I tend to be more sensitive to my surroundings medicated (more-so annoyed easily), but as the meds where off I am back to my compassionate self for the most part. I see it as a logical trade-off for myself.
But see since he started this new medicine he has changed completly, I know he is going thru hard times and I want to support him and I see that he struggles alot with ADD and other stuff, I'll be there for him, things are going down hill between us because this change but hey he's got to get better.

Yea just an idea here but have you considered talking to him about how you feel?
I have moved this to the relationship area in hopes for some more ideas.
Thanks, and yes I've talk to him and he says he is the same, but not to me, and ofcourse he is not gonna stop his new medicine which takes a lot of his pain away and I don't want him to stop taking it..
Though he knows he feels more conected to the world and all that but he says he is the same in the relationsip.
