Your doc is right, she is being over medicated. An adverse effect of certain medications or combinations of medications is a severe decrease in attention span, the ability to concentrate, lack of focus, and confusion. This also has effects on memory.

I don't know who her doc is but someone should slap them for doing something so dangerous. It doesn't just effect her mood, ability to function, and her relationships. It can cause her injury or death from an accident. They must have been sleeping during the pharma classes in med school, I would say that they need to be reported, reprimanded and if they have done this a number of times, lose their license. It is horribly irresponsible of them.

Sorry, I had to get that out of the way first. It bothers me to hear things like that. As someone studying to go into mental health care and someone who is/has been a patient myself, things like this just get to me.

Relationships are touch, finding someone who can really be a good friend isn't easy. I know quite a few people but I only consider maybe 3 people in all the world as very good friends. It takes time, effort and a bit of luck to find someone you can really get along with and can count on.

Don't get too discouraged. Sure it can be a pain sometimes but don't give up trying to make friends. It only takes finding that one person that you can really connect with to make it all worth it.

I hope things get better for you and good luck in your search.
