Confusion about why I feel the way I feel.

Is it just simply depression or is it more?

When you isolate yourself in your head . When you are unable to verbalise all the thoughts and images running through your head, so fast at times you cannot keep up. Some days you’re with it 110% bouncing with giddiness or agitation and making plans. Then comes the days your barely open your mouth to speak, you roll through the day with zero motivation or concentration. I am unable to explain all the thoughts in my head. I could manage before meds on 4 -5 hours sleep a night. Now I’m sleeping for about 8 -9 hrs. I don’t understand it.

The past 2 weeks (on medication 13 days) have been an all time low. My personality is now devoid of any sunshine. I’ve managed to stay in work but only just. I don’t think I can manage another week in the office.

I now feel anxiety also which I never thought I would suffer from as once upon a time a majorly confident person. I still get the day (more like hours now) when I still consider myself indestructible however these are few and far between now.

I just don’t understand.

A major and not necessarily positive change on new medication - contact your prescribing doctor as soon as possible and describe what's going on. You are right to be confused and disturbed.

Please keep posting, IrishGreenEyes.

Medications don't always work. Sometimes they can make things worse. You should talk to your doctor. If your go from being able to work to barely functioning then it is not a change in the right direction. I would talk to your doctor and maybe try a new medication.
