I'm sorry - I didn't mean the 'dumbing you down' phrase to be accusatory - I was aiming for uplifting :-)

I missed the mark there, sorry.

Of course you can ask for other meds to try...

I guess I was just wondering whether your feeling of upset... Might be due to your feeling understimulated at work. And whether if you were more stimulated at work... Then you might feel happier and more productive.

Of course medication might be able to numb you so that you aren't really bothered by work... But I guess I was just thinking that it was possible that your body was trying to tell you that it needed more stimulation. And maybe... If there were ways that you could get more stimulation... That you might end up feeling happier and more motivated and more productive. Whereas if you took meds to dull your desire instead of going with the desire and finding other forms of stimulation then you might be missing out on some of those other things you could be doing (and the sense of acomplishment that goes with that).
