Hi,

So Im new here. about 4 or 5 days ago I began taking Focalin, a very low dose since my body is very sensitive.

Anyway, I stared taking it before final exams. The first day I felt more motivated and focused to get things done. But then this brain fog showed up, everything feels so disconnected and surreal. Like for example while answering questions on a practice exam I would answer them automatically without thinking and its just..weird..its like I know the answer but I don't.
Super weird.
On Monday I took the pill, and went to finals, I did great! and then all the troubles started.
Right after I was done with finals I expected some like relief but no...I was still anxious my head still felt tight and terrible. It just felt terribly anxious.
Then when I came home to Skype my boyfriend I was just so irritated. My boyfriend said he could not skype and where as most of the time I would be just a bit sad because I was looking forward to it, I would always understand.
But this time i got mad, I pushed him away and was mean to him, I had an intrusive anxiety thought and I went into a crying panic. I told my boyfriend maybe we were not meant to be in a frenzy of fear and anger and that I was worried I would cheat (It is an irrational fear of mine).

I was able to have some clear conscious to clear it up in my head but it was a very VERY emotional process I would not stop crying. It took me a while to realize I was being irrational.

Yesterday I talked to him I explained myself and we kinda went past it but then again I began to space out it was like I disassociated, I was just doing things on automatic it was like I had no feelings for him. I began to wonder if I even loved him. And then I became obsessed over this. If you asked me if I loved him right now I would just have blank thought. Which gave me even more anxiety because it was proof I did not love him anymore. I panicked and Mood swings I would cry and then have clarity and say yeah you love him, and then cry and cry. I didnt take my medicine yesterday. Monday was the last time I took it.

Any advise?
