my meds have taken away the fog, I can concentrate, somewhat keep up with my two kids, and actually remember things.
My problem is that some of the other problems that were less noticable when I was not in treatment are starting to become irritating not only to myself but others as well.
Before meds I was very quiet around everyone that wasn't a close friend or family, but..... drove my friends and family nuts with my incessant chattering and repeating things.
On meds the whole world gets to enjoy this lovely quirk, and having college classmates and instructors comment on it is really bothering me. Also now that I actually can motivate I also get to experience my wonderful OCD.
I also noticed my problems with a lot of noise/loud noise and bright lights....well the fact is I am noticing it is a problem and realizing it always was.
The only one that has gotten better is being touched doesn't bother me as badly as it used to.
I feel that while I am physically less impulsive, verbally I drive everyone nuts. If I feel that I need to say something it is soooo difficult to wait for my chance to speak. It is crushing to also be informed that what I had to say has absolutely no relevance to the subject. I think it bothers me more because I really thought I was doing good with this problem, but I am not.
Has anyone found similar problems when they were first getting treatment??
