I've been on Adderall XR (20 mg.) for a while now, and though I've been assured by my psychiatrist that the drug cannot act as an anti-depressant, nor can it change my personality, I do feel like it has that effect on me. I don't know if it's psychosomatic, but I feel like when I'm not taking it (as has been the case over the past few days), I find it extremely difficult to deal with negative emotions, and I find myself not able to commit very well to doing things. Additionally, I've been studying Buddhism lately, and as a result, I've admitted to myself that my job makes me very unhappy, which I'm sure plays into all of this: right now, I'm waiting (with high tension) to hear on two jobs I'm very interested in, and meanwhile I just cannot stand my job. I leave early quite often, and barely do any work. Does anyone have any insight or advice on what I'm feeling, or on the drug and its affects? Thanks.
