My job can consume a lot of mental energy, but I'm used to it and can work with it. Because I was doing the same thing pretty much everyday, I guess I was on auto pilot for most of it because now that I am learning a new function, I space out a lot. I'm good for the first couple of hours, then it's like my brain decides, ok I'm done for the day by 11. This new task I'm working on is a pretty difficult concept to handle, so I'm already stressing because of that. When I went to my pdoc last Thursday, he had me increase my Wellbutrin to two doses of 200mg a day (8am and 12pm), but then I started to feel over medicated and zombie-like the past couple of days. So today I didn't take the second dose. I don't know if it's too early to tell, but I'm still having the same problem. I'm staring at my screen knowing what I have to do, but can't get myself to do it. It's super frustrating because I'm loosing valuable time doing nothing. Luckily since I am new in learning this, I don't have to rush, but at the same time, it would be nice to get some work accomplished.
Am I alone in this?? And should this be a concern right now? I'm trying to give it a few more days, but I don't want to miss out on getting my work done next week either. |

I had this problem at my last job, and in the end, I had to be hospitalized, then I was fired. The stress got to be too much for me to handle and I was dealing with health issues at the same time. I was hospitalized 3 times at that job. Now I'm filing for disability. It's happened at every job when a new task is added. I do fine with menial work, but past that I can't handle it anymore. And to think I use to be a financial analyst, doing mega projects in my early 20's. Now I can't even balance a checkbook right.

The thing is I know exactly what to do and how to do it. But getting my hands to the keyboard does not compute somehow. Seriously feel like my brain is in a fog right now...

I emailed the doctor. We'll see. I just want to get back to where I was because I actually do love my job and don't want to give up this easily.

I really hope everything works out for you. I started getting behind in my work and wasn't able to correctly do my work anymore. I use to be a top worker in my dept and my case load suffered. I ended up having a panic attack at work but I was undiagnosed at the time....not on meds. I was filed shortly after bc I got worse. I recently was approved for SSDI and down the road I would like to try to work. But only pt low key not with people job

I actually feel better, I think I just needed a day to recover from the med adjustment. But then I received a reply by my pdoc and he basically said check with your pcp or a neurologist, or even get a second opinion from another psychiatrist, he did the best he could. WTF?! I actually liked this guy and had been seeing him for over three years!! Sad thing is I'm now starting to feel a little down, but now I don't know if I should even go back to him. It is sooo hard to find a good pdoc, I don't want to go through that again.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
